The best Christmas gifts are those that you admire from afar, but rarely treat yourself to. This season, Molton Brown has put together the ultimate gifting guide for everyone in your life – from those nearest and dearest you want to spoil with a spectacular present, to the stocking fillers and extra little somethings ‘just because’.

Treats they won’t buy themselves

From luxurious fragrances with notes of oudh and spice to indulgent candles with peppery goodness, lean into gifting that adds an extra touch of festive elegance to their day.

Every birthday, Father’s Day, and Christmas, I ask my dad what he’d like to receive. And every time, he says ‘a nice smelly’. While I occasionally go off-brief with a surprise, I know that he loves tobacco and woody scents, so this duo would be a great option.

There’s nothing more indulgent, restoring and perfect for the new year detox than a deep soak in the bath. This combo work for both men and women and is a great pick for anyone who is slightly tricky to buy for!

The showstoppers

For those whose love language is gift giving, go all out with a premium hamper featuring all the Molton Brown signature picks. Alternatively, why not splurge on the Advent Calendar? Inside, they’ll find 24 specially curated treasures – one to open each day in the lead up to Christmas.

We got to see the entire Advent calendar at the office for a giveaway competition, and it’s honestly gorgeous. I’m obsessed with the Rhubarb & Rose spray inside.

The bespoke choice

Are you shopping for someone who knows exactly what they like? Then build your own gift set with all their favourites in one place.

Creating your gift box is super easy; all you have to do is choose from a set of three to six products, pick which ones you’d live to give, and then ‘add to cart’.

The gift they’ll use (& love) every day

Investing in the everyday essentials is often the gift that keeps on giving. Try notes like rhubarb and rose for a seasonal twist or the coastal cypress & sea fennel line – a favourite of multiple members of The Handbook team.

I’d love to gift this hair care set to my brother – he has the most beautiful long curly hair (I’m talking below waist-length curls), that he maintains very, very well. He also loves the ocean, so this salt-splashed shampoo and conditioner set is perfect for him.

Handwashing at Mum’s always comes with a touch of decadence — there’s invariably a line-up of Molton Brown delights by the kitchen sink. This year, I’m replenishing her stockpile with the Rhubarb & Rose set, and I already know she’s going to love it.

The little extra something

The best gifts often come in small packages, and Molton Brown’s stocking filler options are a case in point – from fancy Christmas crackers to beautiful fragrance baubles, these hardworking little additions will add that extra special finish to their day.

I’m planning on grabbing the Floral and Spicy Fragrance Discovery Set as a stocking stuffer for my mom because choosing a scent can be so individual, and a discovery set gives her a bit of variation. She’s always had the best taste in perfume, and these travel-friendly sizes are perfect for my flight back to the US without needing to check a bag. The fiery pink pepper and rose dune notes in this set sound sooo good.

I love the Eco Coastal Cypress & Sea Fennel Bath & Shower Gel – I ask for it in my stocking every year. It’s beautifully refreshing and leaves my skin feeling clean and soft without any harsh chemicals.
