Elemis Exotic Frangipani Monoi Hand and Nail Cream

The office is buzzing, the staff room is full of glitter and gossip, Last Christmas is on play 24/7, and people all over the country are wondering what to buy for that all important Secret Santa present.

At Pure Beauty we are sure that we will have something that Sam from accounts, Rosie from PR and Penny the company PA, will just love.

The Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel is a favourite with our customers, and the handy travel size version makes the perfect Secret Santa present for pretty much anyone. Suitable for all skin types, this lovely soap-free, foaming gel removes make-up and leaves skin clean, without disturbing the natural moisture balance, which is especially important in the cold winter months. Balm Mint cools and calms skin, while Lavender Extract purifies it which means complexions are left feeling comforted and loved.

If you want to give your Secret Santa something special, how about the Elemis Exotic Frangipani Monoi Hand and Nail Cream? This is luxury hand cream not only nourishes skin but leaves it delicately scented too. Shea Butter has been blended with Macadamia Seed Oil as well as Frangipani Flowers, and we think it is a stunning combination. Perfect for any desk drawer, handbag or wash bag, this is a gift that will keep on giving long after the decorations have come down .

Although most people know the mantra of cleanse, tone and moisturise, many miss out the middle man, the toner. Why not give someone the gift of toning this Christmas and wrap up the Dermalogica Antioxidant HydraMist as your Secret Santa gift? White Tea, Liquorice and Vitamin E fight damaging free radicals, Vitamin C and collagen-stimulating peptides, encourage firmness and elasticity so that fine lines are smoothed, and with the help of Rose and Clove Extracts, skin feels soft and refreshed.

If Dave in IT is your Secret Santa, you can’t go wrong with the Dermalogica Shave Essentials Trio gift pack. This is a complete set of products that offer a smooth shave and healthy skin for under a tenner – what’s not to like? The Dermalogica Daily Clean Scrub (44ml), Dermalogica Soothing Shave Cream (74ml) and the super cooling Dermalogica PostShave Balm (10ml) equals a month’s supply of products that we think the Dave will love.

Last, but by no means least, we want to mention the Decleor Luxuriant Nourishing Lip Balm. This would make a gorgeous Secret Santa for anyone and will leave their lips feeling loved all Christmas long. With a luxe feel, this balm has been enriched with Marjoram Essential Oil, Shea Butter and Macadamia Oil and simply sinks into lips leaving them feeling soft, smooth and totally smoochable under the mistletoe.

If you’d like any more details about these Secret Santa ideas, or any of the products we sell, get in touch and we would love to help you make the right choice.

For many of us ‘Sammy the Spaniel’ and ‘Toby the Tabby’ are as much a part of the family as the kids and grandma.

While you might think the odd human treat shows your pet just how much you love them, it could actually cause catastrophic damage and spoil the festivities for everyone.

We have some top tips on how to keep your furry friends safe and well this Christmas.

The Christmas tree
This might sound totally OTT but if you have pets then it’s a good idea to go for non-toxic decorations – details should be on the packaging. We don’t want to spoil all the fun but if you can, avoid edible decorations because these will be sniffed out, pulled down and eaten. If you go for a real tree make sure you hoover up any needles from the floor and just check the pot for any pet presents!

Lights
Fairy lights are pretty but they can be harmful, so watch out for anyone getting tangled up and if you aren’t in the room, turn them off to save any electric shocks.

Plants
Yes, Christmas plants look pretty and make the house feel festive but holly, amaryllis, poinsettias, mistletoe and pine sap are all poisonous to cats and dogs but they don’t know this and will have a chew anyway.

Chocolate
Uncle Billy might think a little bit of Dairy Milk won’t hurt Frodo but he is wrong. Chocolate contains theobromine which is dangerous for dogs and other pets, so don’t let them tuck in. Also make sure mince pies, Christmas cake and anything else containing raisins are put out of reach and never leave glasses of wine or beer on the floor or you could be in trouble.

Bones
We know that chicken and turkey bones look perfect for your pooch but the reality is that they can splinter and this can cause serious problems for your pet, so wrap them in newspaper and put in the dustbin as soon as you can.

Routine
While the holidays mean you can take a break from your everyday routine, it is important that life is kept as normal as possible for your pets.

Continue to feed at the same time each day, make sure they have access to water and don’t use this as a time to try out new food – it might make life unpleasant for all. You might not feel like going out in the cold, but dogs still need to be walked and you will actually find that a run around the park will tire them out and stop them from being disruptive and hyper when people come to visit.

Presents
If you don’t want your new boots to be chewed or that cashmere jumper to be used as a new bed, get your pet a present too this Christmas. A dog bone, new toy or bright ball will keep them entertained and out of mischief.

A quiet place
If the house is going to be busier than usual and full of strange people, make sure your pets have a safe retreat. Put their bed in the utility room or spare bedroom with their toys and blankets so they have somewhere safe to retreat to when it gets too much.

The rules
Speaking of guests, it is important they know not to pull your pets around, especially if children are coming to the house. Gently explain your rules and also ask people not to open doors, gates or windows as you don’t want your animals to escape and get injured or lost.

If anything does go wrong, call your vet as soon as possible to the necessary treatment can be carried out.
