Chanel No5 The Bath Soap

AUD36 GBP23 USD30

For the friend who has everything, you can’t beat this gift. Yes, soap is an inherently dull gift. But have you ever received Chanel soap?And I bet if you had, you would be thrilled! I would personally use it as a bathroom display piece, never to touch a droplet of moisture. Or you could just use it and smell expensive.

AUD20 GBP12 USD16.60

What looks good on the tree before Christmas and also looks good in your shower after Christmas? Not sure what popped into your mind, but we were talking about this chic little Molton Brown Bauble. The worst part of this is giving it away as a gift and not getting to keep it. Definitely buy two to avoid bauble-fomo.

She’s been maintaining Kim K’s mane since 2018, and if this is what Kim uses, we all need in. The Three Kit is the perfect little sampler to intro the brand, giving you 3 travel size products to get your first Oaui-fix.

Glasshouse Fragrances Scent Scene Duo

AUD45 GBP26 USD30

As I lay my eyes upon the Glasshouse Scent Scene Duo, I uttered what is that? No, it’s not a sculptural piece of art. Let me introduce you to Glasshouse’s new breed of fragrance diffuser, 'scent stems', which can last up to 30 days. Reed diffusers are over, it’s time to jump aboard the scent-stem train. Glasshouse sells replacement stems as well so when these are finished, you can stock up and try them all.

Ellis Brooklyn Booklet Discovery Set

AUD32 GBP19 USD21

If the thought of committing to a full sized bottle of perfume without road-testing it for a few outings first scares you, you are the market audience for a perfume discovery set. Ellis Brooklyn is a brand that's been in the scent-spotlight for a few years now, and this edit of its 5 top sellers, PRÈS, BEE, MYTH, SALT, and SUN FRUIT, allows you an affordable sniff option. I love throwing mini’s into a few of my handbags so I always have a top up whenever I go. 

Morphe 9P Cabernet Blush Palette

AUD21 GBP13 USD13

This Morphe eyeshadow palette is not only beautiful, but promises a lot of easy to put together eye combo’s for the not-so skilled or confidant. Diffuse a matte shade over the lid and up to the brow bone, and top the lid with a shimmer. Done! I would even multi-purpose the matte shades as blush or bronzer and the shimmer’s as highlight, promising a decent amount of use. 10/10, another beautiful offering from Morphe.
