3. Best Lip Balm: Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm Trio
We all know someone who always gripes about chapped lips, or never fails to venture outdoors with a lip balm in their pocket. Give them the gift of hydrated, well-loved lips, with Summer Fridays’ popular Lip Butter Balm Trio. This set includes three flavours – vanilla, vanilla beige and a new limited-edition brown sugar. While vanilla beige adds a touch of sheer beige tint to the lips, brown sugar envelopes the lips in nude colour.

All three provide instant moisturisation and shine, with a lick of flavour you cannot complaint about.

Next in line is The Essence, which softens, plumps and hydrates the skin via its formulation of anti-ageing superfoods. The oil-free Water Cream acts as a perfect moisturiser, and it can be followed up with The Silk Peony, an anti-ageing eye cream that smooths out fine lines and provides a double shield of hydration. Overall, it's the perfect gift set for someone who pays attention to their skin, or needs to integrate a little self-care routine into their busy lifestyle.
