Beauty
1. Simply Nam Festive Gift Box: Cheek & Lip Duo
This festive box by ace makeup artist Namrata Soni is a great way to get bang for your buck. Not only are the lip and cheek duo all you need to create her signature dewy look with matte lips but the velvet cream blush can also be used on your lips–think three lip colours + a blush, all in one kit!
2. Anomaly Haircare Routine Kit
When Priyanka Chopra Jonas launched her haircare brand in the United States of America, beauty enthusiasts in India waited with bated breath to get their hands on her mane line. Safe to say, it didn’t disappoint and neither will this kit that contains an almond oil-rich hair and scalp oil, clarifying shampoo and conditioner. Plus, the sustainable packaging makes this a winner in our books as it uses 100 per cent recycled plastic that is diverted from landfills and oceans.
3. Arata Colour Cure Purple Tone Enhancing Duo
Refresh your hair colour with a shampoo and conditioner that is formulated specifically to do that. These products are made using purple mica that cuts through the brassy and yellow undertones to make your colour pop. Plus, they contain shea butter and argan oil, both of which nourish dry and coloured hair.
4. Kama Ayurveda Rose And Jasmine Face Care Gift Box
A low-maintenance routine we can get behind! The rose jasmine face cleanser and pure rosewater serve as the ideal two-step regime to cleanse and hydrate skin.

7. Fable & Mane Hydrate & Restore Combo
Fable & Mane, an Ayurveda-inspired haircare brand recently made its way to Indian shores and the founder-siblings Akash and Nikita Mehta have already made waves with their unique mane formulations. This trio of products is all you need for healthier, shiny hair that makes you feel good and the fact that the brand regularly makes donations to save the big cats in the wild from extinction makes it a winner in our books.
8. Kiehl’s Powerful-Strength Essentials
Get not one but two of Kiehl’s effective skincare products in this kit. Give your under-eyes some TLC with the Vitamin C eye serum and the rest of your face some added radiance with the cult-fave Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate.
