Most Christmas gift guides will rightly encourage thought and sentiment, but I am going to resoundingly buck the trend and tell you that when buying someone a beauty gift, there are only two ways to go — and neither of them involve thought or sentiment.
First, buy them an extension of something they’re already into. If they exclusively wear Chanel No 5, for example, give them the body lotion. You could also supersize or stock them up on a favourite, of course. That’s never going to go down badly.
