It may be October but according to the shops, it seems like Christmas is already here. Though, it’s 10 weeks away. We know it’s a bit depressing having to think about it and worse, being forced to look at it. But there is no harm in being prepared. So here are two lovely moisturisers, a gift set with three creams and a three-in-one cream, that someone on your list will love. They will save you from the oh-so-scary Christmas rush and an even scarier bill.

For £17.95 (RRP: £30), you can get Elizabeth Arden’s Eight-Hour Gift Set, including the Intensive Face Moisturizer SPF15, 50ml; Body Treatment Cream, 50ml; and Hand Cream, 30ml. These divine moisturisers give everyone what they really want this winter: to be lavished in long-lasting softness.

Next is the three-in-one moisturising treat in a tin: SteamCream, £10. We did a post on this delight for the face, body and hands a few months ago.  And yes, not much has changed. This moisturiser still uses steam to melt all its supple-inducing ingredients together. But now, you can get this three-in-one cream in special Christmas tins, Lola, Vinyl and Wraparound. Another pretty plus, you also get a re-usable gift bag, available in grey or orange, to put your tin in. Pick your fave festive SteamCream tin in-store at John Lewis and online at ASOS.com today. Better hurry because these special Christmas tins will only be sold for four weeks.
