It’s that magical time of year again, festive, bustling, and let’s face it, a little exhausting! As the holiday season unfolds, it’s the perfect moment to focus on self-care and treat yourself or your loved ones to something special.
That’s why we’ve put together The Beauty Standard's Christmas Gift Guide.
This curated collection features our favorite products, handpicked with care, along with recommendations from friends of The Beauty Standard. Each item has been chosen for its quality, uniqueness, and ability to add a little extra joy to the holiday season. Whether you’re shopping for someone else or indulging in a bit of self-love, these gifts are sure to make the season even brighter.
Louise Saunders- Co founder The Beauty Standard
This year has been a whirlwind, but amidst the busyness, I’ve made a conscious effort to prioritise balance in my life. By carving out time for exercise, choosing healthier meals, and starting my day with purposeful intentions, I’ve embraced daily rituals that bring calm and focus. These small but meaningful habits have become essential, helping me feel more centred amidst life’s chaos.
With Christmas approaching, I’m inspired to share this sense of mindfulness with my loved ones by gifting them the be_Restful box. It’s a thoughtful way to encourage slowing down and enjoying restorative rest. I especially adore the Evermore London North candle, which has become a daily ritual for me—creating a calm workspace during the day or helping me unwind in the evening after putting my son to bed. As for my own wish list? A four-day retreat in Marrakech with my fitness group, Fitbirds Fitness—movement, great food, and sunshine.
What more could I possibly ask for?

I would be in heaven if Father Christmas (took note of all the hints and) served me up with The be_unique Box this Christmas.
Having launched The FairGround (www.the-fairground.com) I'm learning that being different, standing for different things and trying to make a BIG noise (in a different way) can be really hard. It's been a lot of work to get The FairGround quite literally off the ground, but being different, and doing things differently deserves to be celebrated!! A long hot bath with the Verden bath oil would be the first step.
What else is on my wish list? A visit to Venice. My husband and I got together there SO many years ago and it's time we went back. A cocktail at Harry's Bar and a trip to The Peggy Guggenheim, where I interned, are long overdue. Don't even get me started on the pizza options either....
Happy Christmas xxxxx
Fran Morris - Co founder The Beauty Standard
I’ll be giving my busy big sister a Beauty Standard be_calm box this Christmas. I want her to actually take a break and focus on some self-care. The luxurious skincare regime will help her relax, feel refreshed, and get some much-needed pampering. It’s my way of reminding her to slow down, prioritise herself for a change, and enjoy a little well-deserved downtime.
Top of my Christmas list are silk pyjamas! I want to improve my sleep rituals and think new silk pyjamas from Asenso would be a perfect addition. I’ve been using our Be Restful box to improve my nightly routine, and luxurious sleepwear feels like the perfect finishing touch for a good night sleep.

Everyone needs tools to help them rest during this busy season and for that reason I will be gifting the be_restful Box to my hardest working girlfriends! We all need a break.
Emma Dobbie -Founder and CEO The face planner
If I had to choose one of your lovely boxes for Christmas, it would have to be the be_thoughtful box. I love the festive pops of red and would love to start 2025 with the complimentary access to pilates classes!
The perfect gift is thoughtful - something that you didn't even know yourself that you wanted.
This year I would love to receive something along the lines of a massage or facial - those kinds of things have been long forgotten as a new mum this year!
