Gifts: our best suggestions by theme (and for all budgets)

Here we are: this very special year 2020 is coming to an end. It's time for us to think about the holidays that await us, and to find the ideal gifts for everyone. Which is not always easy given the tons of possibilities... So here are some of our best ideas, by theme!

The classics

When it comes to Christmas gifts, there are some must-have categories that generally make everyone happy. An example? Perfume ! When it is respectful of the skin and the environment, with an original fragrance , it is all the more precious. This is also the case for shower gels , but also for Christmas boxes : whether they contain hand or body care, you can't go wrong!

The specifics

For your "peanut"

A peanut party at work? In your family? Between friends? It's about making someone happy while respecting a limited budget! For less than 10 euros, you can opt for a splendid marbled soap with a regenerating scent , or write pretty wishes on a plantable card seeded with wildflower seeds. If your peanut appreciates taking care of itself, why not go for a konjac sponge that gently cleanses every day, an ultra-nourishing and minimalist lip balm , or even a thirst-quenching face and hair serum with hyaluronic acid?

For wellness fans

Does one of your friends love to plan cozy evenings ? Think about natural soy wax candles : for her, they're a safe bet. Embedded with plant elements , those made by Munio Candela are ultra decorative and sensory : are you more of a Wild Flowers , Marigold Flowers , Juniper , Lavender or Cinnamon fan ? Discovering the feeling of calm generated by a purified interior using Palo Santo or sage sticks is also an interesting idea. And why not relaxing bath salts that promise a restful night's sleep or a selection of delicious stem infusions ?

For your mom

Because our mothers are always there for us , no matter what, Christmas is one of the many opportunities to show that we think of them. For those on a budget, a rose-scented and antioxidant care oil can be a very nice gesture, as can a discovery box of the benefits of argan . Some products, such as the Hyaluronic Serum 200 , are available in small sizes and presented in beautiful festive packaging .

To help her take care of herself, also think about accessories. Sentara Gua Sha and rollers combine facial care and lithotherapy : they therefore act on both the body and the emotions. They are precious and elegant tools for giving yourself a relaxing self-massage that stimulates the circulation of fluids , for more radiant skin. For a perfect gesture, Mayia Alleaume, their creator , recommends using them with vegetable oils such as the incredible prickly pear .



The boxes are also great gifts : they allow you to discover a range , like the Zero Waste range from Clémence et Vivien , or a high-quality facial routine that can make all the difference on a daily basis.

For Make Up Addicts

A friend who is passionate about makeup? In this area too, sustainable alternatives exist , gentler on the skin and the environment. The Big Lash Mascara seems unbeatable with its ultra-wide hourglass-shaped brush: it offers an intense look . For warm and smoky winter looks, the Golden Hour palette is perfect. Is your friend looking for the perfect red for her lips ? Roarr is a long-lasting universal formulated with avocado, coconut and jojoba oils.



On the nail polish side, the Zao brand offers a multitude of certified vegan shades, including this intense and elegant plum . At Kure Bazaar, they are non-toxic and contain up to 90% ingredients of natural origin . The Beige Milk color is an ultra-natural beige for clear and shiny nails.

For future and young mothers

A girlfriend or sister who is expecting a happy event? She can obviously continue to take care of herself, as long as she uses products adapted to pregnancy that target her current needs ! If she suffers from heavy legs , Envolée is a must-have: without menthol, it provides a feeling of freshness and moisturizes thanks to its high aloe vera content. Le Bienfaiteur concentrated body milk soothes uncomfortable skin in a natural sweet almond scent. La Confidente is a gentle vanilla massage cream for the belly , to create a real bond with baby.

Looking for a useful gift for new mothers ? Eco-friendly changing kits and washable nursing pads are safe bets. Then, you can turn to the daily care products your baby needs: this silky rosehip soap and this shampoo and shower gel are suitable for the whole family ; to deeply moisturize the fragile skin of little ones , a milk texture with oats or cream that penetrates quickly is preferable. Eau de Cologne Petits with lily of the valley, orange blossom and neroli is also a lovely touch to delicately perfume baby . If you are tempted by a box, the one from Karélia contains four basic allergen-free products for newborn hygiene.

For DIY enthusiasts

Making your own cosmetics gives a great sense of satisfaction! However, it requires a precise material , which we do not always have easily available. To compensate for this lack, there are kits that include everything you need , from utensils to ingredients: it is thus possible to make your own moisturizer , its lip balms or even his solid deodorant and shampoo , with a full control over their formula ! We also suggest this candle making kit , for a scented interior with lavender, peppermint or rose...

For mask fans

Used occasionally - about once a week - face masks can really improve the quality of our skin and come in various forms. AtLes Poulettes , they are made of certified organic cotton and are left on for about 10 minutes for an impressive result . Wild Sage and Co powders are to be mixed with water or yogurt: Kaolin & Fleurs , suitable for the most sensitive skin, contains clay, lavender, chamomile and calendula to gently decongest. The Grums coffee mask also acts as a scrub , for better absorption of usual moisturizing treatments.


For collectors of solid soaps

Gone are the days when solid soaps were boring: now, they are as ecological as they are pretty and sensory . If one of your loved ones was not yet convinced, this box of 5 mini soaps will easily prove it to them with its original and delicate fragrances! The Lîdjeu soap factory manufactures soaps with friendly names in Liège, in the greatest tradition : Bain Coquin , with ylang-ylang, is an energizing aphrodisiac synergy. Émir , with its intense black color due to activated charcoal, gives off a woody cedar scent and gently detoxifies. Be careful though: loving solid soaps is good, being able to keep them and take them with you is even better!

For the men in your life

Taking care of a beard requires a little time, and above all specific products . This is why Bivouak has developed a shampoo adapted to aloe vera juice , moisturizing and nourishing, but also a balm and an oil with argan and organic sesame to soften the hair. The shaving cream , non-foaming for greater precision , is easy to apply thanks to the superb vegan Wild Sage and Co badger .

The Bivouak range also includes a light facial moisturizing gel with jojoba oil and rosemary floral water, firming and soothing. For those who love multi-purpose products , the Cîme Himalayan Universal Balm is a must-have: among its many benefits, it calms irritations, relieves muscle fatigue and soothes insect bites and bruises. The Savon du Randonneur can be used to clean the face, body, hair, and even... laundry and dishes .

In terms of perfumes, Eau 21 is a mixed, slightly woody fragrance between citrus fruits and white flowers; the Eau de Cologne Nagaranga & Santal Citronné , sparkling and fresh , can also be very popular.

For (future) dream manes

Why not take advantage of the holidays to discover natural hair products with extraordinary virtues ? For fans of minimalism , the soap nut shampoo without added fragrance is certainly the best choice. The Cut by Fred Hydration vegan mask, with organic vegetable oils, is an ultra-nourishing concentrate that leaves hair soft and shiny. Pachamamai solid shampoos are a consensus: it is possible to combine ecology and efficiency . Notox saves oily scalps, those prone to dandruff and itching. The Grums bamboo brush , a new arrival at Mahalo , prevents static electricity and evenly distributes natural oils for extreme softness and shine.
