Gifting season is officially upon us, and if you're anything like me, the thrill of finding that perfect present rivals the excitement of unwrapping it. I don't want to toot my own horn, but as someone whose love language is gift-giving, I've got the art of it down to a fine science. My golden rule? Start and end with beauty. Self-care and beauty gifts always feel indulgent yet thoughtful, telling the recipient you see them, you know them and you want them to rest or indulge just that little bit more. As a beauty editor, I've trialled just about every lotion, serum and scent in existence, and I can confirm that there's nothing quite like unboxing a beautifully curated beauty set over the festive season. This year, the brand I keep gravitating towards—for both giving and receiving—is Templespa.
If you're not yet familiar with Templespa, let me give you the lowdown. The British brand has long been loved by beauty insiders for its clever fusion of science-led skincare and spa-level sensoriality. Templespa's approach feels instantly restorative; it's less about a quick fix and more about creating moments of pause. The brand's formulations are rich with Mediterranean botanicals, whilst the textures are cocooning and the scents genuinely transport you to a more serene state of mind. Perhaps that's why the brand has such a loyal following: it delivers results, yes, but also a ritual.
This Christmas, Templespa has made gifting beautifully easy by putting together a collection of limited-edition sets and best-sellers designed to encourage moments of calm and care in the middle of festive chaos. From indulgent bath rituals to glow-giving skincare, there's something for everyone on your list (yourself included). My advice? Pair a luxurious face mask with a bath soak for the friend who never slows down, or gift a glow kit to that colleague who's always on camera. Personally, I'll be giving the Truffle Brilliance Set to my mum (it's as decadent as it sounds), and tucking the Gratitude Bath Luxe into my own stocking. However you choose to mix and match, these are gifts that feel personal, elevated and utterly joy-inducing. Below, I've rounded up the Templespa treasures already topping our festive wish lists.
