Boots Christmas 2021
Whilst other brands have returned to in-person events, I was beyond happy to get the invite to Boots Christmas 2021 Virtual event (and even happier at the thought of another sack of their best-selling presents for this year!) I recently posted a screenshot of my Boots points on my Instagram Stories but I already think everyone knew I was a big fan based on my posts of the £10 Tuesday a £5 Fridays all year. Boots really is my favourite place to shop online and in-store, especially at Christmas time. This year’s Boots Christmas 2021 event was hosted by Davina McCall and Yinka Bokinni.
Just like last year, a huge sack of presents arrived a few hours before the event with a note and padlock so I couldn’t get a sneak a little peek. This year we had to pay attention to any numbers said, as that was one of the numbers for the code! We had to wait until the very last minute to get all 4 digits of our codes and open up a selection of their Twelve Gifts of Christmas, the top 12 gifts predicted to be the best sellers.
So, what are the 12 best gifts from Boots Christmas 2021 range this year?
Paco Rabanne Phantom Eau De Toilette 100ml – £76
Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia Eau de Parfum 100ml – £105
I gift perfume every single year so I loved finding out what the top fragrances are at Boots. The Paco Rabanne is actually a little robot and he’s the cutest thing ever! So much so that I had lots of women asking if it was a women’s perfume and although it’s made for men, of course, scents are whatever you want them to be!
Kylie Cosmetics Lip Kit – £27
Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick Compact Highlighter – £37
I’ve wanted to try Kylie’s lip products for the longest time so I was really excited by this! Plus who can complain at Bobbi Brown? Seriously Boots Makeup Hall is the place to be now!
Fenty Skin Start’r Set – £32
Soap & Glory Jingle Blooms Duo – £5
My best friend just so happens to be Rhianna’s biggest fan and has been trying to get me to use Fenty Skincare for the longest time. I was so glad to see this set just to shut him up! Thankfully, it is actually really good, especially the cleanser! It smells amazing, it’s thick, and it really does remove everything.
Soap & Glory is just a staple Christmas Present, is it even Christmas if someone doesn’t get an S&G gift set? No.
The Little Botanical Plant Gang for Newbie Plant Parents – £40
No, this one plant isn’t £40 but the set it belongs to is! For the first time Boots are selling live plants. There’s been a huge surge in people wanting plants with being at home so much so this is definitely giving people what they want! Even we have an air plant and aloe vera plant now, I know right? Plant mum status.
Alice Scott Exercise Book Set – £8
Bouffants & Broken Hearts Fragranced Votive Duo – £10.50
You really can’t go wrong with gifting people exercise Books, notepads, stationery in general! I absolutely love the Bouffants & Broken Hearts gift sets and it’s so great to see Boots supporting an independent business and really showcasing them as well! There was a big section of the event dedicated to talking about independents!
No7 Travel Brush Collection with Embroidered Velvet Bag by Elizabeth Scarlett – £20
A very cute and soft brush set, travel size makeup brushes are so much better for your handbag! Sometimes the brushes I need to take out are longer than my bags.
My Santa’s parcel was missing a few of the top 12 Boots Christmas 2021 gifts but here they are so you can go take a look:
Drunk Elephant T.L.C. Sukari Babyfacial ™ 50ml – £67
Davina Pilates Bands – £16
Just like last year’s post, now it’s time where I tell you the other things that caught my eye this year! Keeping in with last year, self-care and wellbeing gifts really are out in force. From weighted blankets (yep on 3 for 2!) PJs sets, Yoga Sets, actually fitness equipment, and craft-making sets all making an appearance. I’ve also never seen so many diffusers, and they’re all flipping beautiful. I really don’t think there are better gifts than gifting something relaxing, something that makes people take a few minutes out of their day to just be still!
Also carrying on from last year is the lack of plastic being used in gift sets, I was really surprised that the back of my Fenty skincare set was just cardboard. Not in a bad way but in a, why haven’t we always done this way!? Who really cares what the back of a gift set looks like anyway? Plus it was a lot easier to open.
There’s another huge push on affordability too with most gifts being under £10 and a massive range being under £5. Plus if you time it well and wait, the Star Gift Buys are massively reduced in price and pretty much every big/popular set will be on it at some point.
What’s your favourite gift from Boots Christmas 2021?
