FOR THE CALM SOUL

Self-care isn’t a trend. While the practice may vary from person to person, it’s a way of life. For some, it revolves around soothing soaks in the bath. For others, it involves being at one with nature. However they define it, these wellness gifts will make it easier to practice self-care on a regular basis. If they’re crystal curious, look no further than Stones Club, a French brand merging the power of crystals with fashion by creating unique necklaces and bracelets with amazing properties.

For a truly grounding gift, look to GROUND. Handmade in small batches by founder Peigín Crowley in county Cork, GROUND offers an array of balms and oils from pure botanical vegan ingredients that are designed specifically to help you relax. And if all else fails, there’s no beating an incredibly soft and comforting robe. Look to Ralph Lauren, Yves Delorme and Amurelle for the best robes to gift this festive season.

FOR THE CONSCIOUS SHOPPER

If you're worried about the impact your purchases have on the environment (and let’s face it, we all should be), fret not as we have specially curated sustainable edit full of unique and thoughtful gifts your loved ones are sure to enjoy. For a classic gift with a conscience, look to D8 Candles. Hand-poured in the heart of Dublin 8, D8 Candles are created using the highest grade soy wax with scents that are inspired by moments and memories from growing up in Ireland. Each candle is unique, refillable, reusable and can be repurposed. For the sustainably savvy, give them the gift of eco-friendly home cleaning products. Made in the Netherlands, Kinfill is modern homecare for those who care. They offer a collection of eco-friendly home cleaning products, designed to reduce single-use plastic waste in your daily cleaning routine. What’s more, Kinfill’s products are refillable which can vastly reduce the amount of packaging waste that you generate each year. Not to mention how they’d make for great follow up gifts for other special occasions to come.

Give the gift of conscious comfort all thanks to Copenhagen-based brand Tekla. From oversized bathrobes in quirky colour combinations, cloud-like organic cotton towels in earthy tones, and virgin wool and merino blankets in warm hues, Tekla ticks the trend boxes whilst being kind to the planet too making it the perfect present.

FOR THE HUMBLE HOST

Now that our social calendars are filling up and we reunite with those we haven't seen in weeks, months, or years, let's not forget the host? After all, everyone knows that being a great guest means making sure you never turn up to a party empty-handed. For a gift guaranteed to wow, try a Cire Trudon candle. Carefully poured in Normandy and beautifully presented within hand-blown Italian glass bearing the signature gold emblem, it’s the ultimate scent and style statement. To help their hosting duties, why not treat them to some sophisticated drinkware accessories from Waterford Crystal? The Lismore Nouveau Ice Bucket will look just as stylish on their drinks trolley as it would when chilling a bottle of Champagne. The diamond and wedge cuts of Waterford's classic Lismore pattern complements the crisp rigidity of ice cubes making for a spectacular sight for any dinner party or large celebration.
