Boots exclusive: Festive Hair & Body Wash

Baby it’s cold outside, but bath time couldn’t be cosier with Childs Farm’s new festive hair & body wash. Featuring packaging worthy of a winter wonderland with a snowball fight between a unicorn and a snowman, the festive edition of this favourite contains sweet orange oil and argan oil. This makes cleaning off dirt a fragrant and festive joy, while also leaving hair shiny and tangle-free and skin wonderfully soft. Suitable for newborns and upwards, it is dermatologist and paediatrician approved as suitable for sensitive skin, and safe for people who may be prone to eczema.

How much does it cost and where can I buy it?

Childs Farm new parent gifting set

Not only is this an ideal Christmas gift for new parents, it’s also a great introduction to the baby range, where parents or parents-to-be can try everything that Childs Farm has to offer. The first gift is the baby bath and bedtime suitcase, which comes full of baby essentials, including the baby bedtime bubbles, baby wash, nappy cream, and the baby moisturiser, which has been dubbed by many as a ‘miracle cream’ for sensitive skin.

This beautiful set contains everything new parents need to welcome a little one into the world, knowing their skin will be lovingly cared for. Not only does the baby bath and bedtime suitcase contain these essentials, it also comes with a gift card for two further gift sets. The next set is for mum and baby, including the grapefruit and tea tree hand wash and matching moisturiser to keep hands lovely and soft, as well as the baby oil and baby shampoo, perfect for baby. The final set is a top up of all the products in the baby bath and bedtime suitcase, so parents don’t need to worry about running out, but more than that – your gift goes beyond Christmas!

Only available from Childs Farm website.

MARTIN MILLER’S GIN LAUNCHES LIMITED-EDITION NORTHERN LIGHTS-INSPIRED GIFT BOX FOR CHRISTMAS 2019

This festive season, Martin Miller’s Gin has partnered with award-winning night sky photographer and the founder of The World at Night program, Babak Tafreshi, to produce a distinctive Northern Lights-inspired, limited-edition gift box.

 

New for 2019, the eye-catching design features a mesmerising image of the Aurora Borealis, taken by Tafreshi, as the infamous light show dances above the iconic Kirkjufell mountain and waterfalls on Iceland’s rugged western coastline, during the most intense display in more than a decade.

 

The gift box pays homage to one of the unique attributes of Martin Miller’s Gin – the 100% pure Icelandic spring water which blends perfectly with the highest quality botanicals to give the product its smooth taste, distinct clarity and trademark softness.,

 

Not only designed to look beautiful on display, the gift box also reflects the premium quality of Martin Miller’s Gin – the most-awarded quality gin on the market – making it the ideal gift for all gin lovers this Christmas.

 

Babak Tafreshi, photographer says, “I am delighted to have partnered with Martin Miller’s Gin to create this gift box, which celebrates the home of its pure spring water. The image we used captures the most colourful aurora I have ever seen, which coloured the Icelandic landscape in these stunning pastel hues, making this box truly unique.”

 

The limited-edition box will be available in selected Waitrose.com, Morrisons.com and Sainsbury’s stores from September to December 2019, with a recommended retail price of £28 for a 70cl bottle.
