MY TOP TEN CHRISTMAS PRESENT IDEAS FROM SPACE NK

I have worked part time in Space NK for the last five years and each year never fail to get excited at all the products we have in store for Christmas.  I have come up with my favourite ten present ideas to give you a bit of inspiration if you know someone who would love a present from Space NK or for you to put on your wish list!

Laura Mercier - Tarte au citron duo
This gorgeous little limited edition duo arrives in store every Christmas and flies out, as I think it is the ultimate in pamper.  You get two mini glass jars one with a honey bath and the other with body creme in the tarte au citron fragrance.  Anyone who loves their relaxing baths would be delighted with this as a gift. Price £25
Emma Hardie - Amazing Face Rejuvenating Night Cream
This is a lovely present for Mums as not only is a highly effective night cream it is also a pleasure to use due to the delicate aroma that relaxes and calms.  As well as on the face it is to be used on the neck and decollate, to help increase hydration and restore the skin's elasticity and firmness.  This is such a good price for a night cream as for £56 you get 100ml, so will last for ages.

ReVive Artbox 10 : Valentine
This is the most expensive gift idea I have on here, its for that someone special that you maybe know loves Revive skincare products or likes her high tech skincare.  Anyone who knows me well knows how much I absolutely love ReVives moisture renewal cream, I have now used it since I started at Space NK five years ago and apart from a hydration mask left on overnight I use it every night.  The powerful night cream exfoliates, retextures, renews and moisturises the skin, you really do wake up with a glow to the skin after using it.  As well as the full size night cream you also get four other full size products in a beautiful keepsake box.  This £345, but its value is £472 so a saving of £127!
Tocca Cleopatra EDT 50ml
This is probably my favourite fragrance, by just a little spray of it it can really lift my mood. It is named after the Egyptian temptress Cleopatra, top notes of grapefruit and fragrant greens with sensual white jasmin and tuberose with the base notes of golden amber, patchouli and rich vanilla musk.  I actually love all the Tocca fragrances we have in store, so if you think that this one is not for you or the person you are buying a gift for there will be one of the other seven that will be perfect.  Price £54


Beautannia - British Bathing Heros
Four luxurious shower gels in the scents Bloomsbury, Balfour, Brideshead and Brighten in stunning packaging for £30.  The Beautannia collection was developed to celebrate everything British with the Royal Wedding last year and this year the diamond jubilee and Olympics/Paralympics.  If you have someone visiting from abroad this is a perfect present as they can take a little bit of Britain back with them.  If I was given this I would keep the box as it could ben used to maybe keep make-up brushes or jewellery in.

Eve Lom Perfect Partner Collection
If you want to treat someone to skincare, but are not sure of their skin type, then this is the gift as it is suitable for all skin types!  It contains the 100ml cleansing balm, a muslin cloth and 125ml morning time cleanser.  The cleanser has been acclaimed by Vogue 'as probably the best cleanser in the world', which melts away make-up and grime, exfoliates, brightens and tones the skin.  The morning time cleanser is a quick and easy version as the bottle says perfect for the morning when you don't have as much time.  This set is priced at £75, so if you use both these products yourself you could treat yourself too and save £20!

Glamglow Mud Mask
This mask is amazing, I think it really does do what it says on the jar, it gives you great glowing skin in 10 minutes that lasts for three days, to be honest I found for me it was more like five days!  It is £22.50 and comes in a 15ml pot that you would get three applications out of.  The packaging is really cute too so would be so lovely to get as a present for someone who is always on the go and needs that little something to use for the party season.  

Shimmering Spice Candle
Every year when this candle arrives in Space NK I know its time to get all excited for Christmas.  I think that anyone would love this seasonal scent of cinnamon, spice, orange and cedar in their house which comes in two sizes 70g at £15 and 175g at £30.
Mor Triple Treasure
This trio selection of 50 ml hand creams would be gorgeous present or could be spilt up and used as maybe table gifts.  The rich silky hand cream will leave your hands feeling perfectly moisturised and the scent from them is stunning in Italian blood orange, snow gardenia and my favourite lychee flower. Price £17

Clarisonic - Mia Sonic Skin Cleansing System
I could not do a Space NK top ten without including the clarisonic, which I love and cannot imagine cleansing in the evening without it.  You can use any cleanser you like with it and I particularly like the Emma Hardie Moringa Cleansing Balm with it.  It cleanses so well that products absorb better, pores appear smaller and fine lines and wrinkles appear reduced.  For me my open pores definitely appear smaller and I have a lot less breakouts than I did before.  The Mia version is priced at £120 and comes with a brush head and 30ml cleanser.

There are so many other gift ideas at Space NK, this is just my personal favourites, it was actually so difficult to pick ten!  Pop in to see us at Space NK Chester or your local Space NK and we can help you pick the perfect gift and then beautifully wrap it!
