Christmas could be so nice if it weren't for the nerve-wracking preparations.
Family, friends, relatives and acquaintances - we want to surprise our loved ones at Christmas and really spoil them. But what exactly should you give them? Natural cosmetics expert Anna Baumgartner tells us what she is giving this year:
For mum
Whether it's an hour-long conversation or a quick phone call in between - mum is always there when we need her. Anna prefers to give her mum something that she can use and enjoy:
The ❄ Versatile use of the Altitude Oil from De Mamiel Ideal for busy mums who have an active lifestyle. ( CH-Shop, EU Shop)
❄ Lina Hanson Global Treasures Balm is just what you need after a stressful day: pure pampering! And the fragrance... (CH Shop, EU Shop)
❄ For the face and body of a mum in need of pampering, the Wheat germ nourishing mask (CH Shop, EU Shop) and the Rose geranium revitalising body oil from Safeas (CH Shop, EU Shop) a care treat!
❄ Warm, soft and yet fresh, the flavour develops Satori Perfume Oil by Lina Hanson on the skin and leaves a feeling of pure well-being. (CH Shop, EU Shop)
For dad
Dad, who is always on hand with help and advice, is one of the top 3 in the speed dialling memory. Anna loves to spoil her dad - in addition to making lots of calls:
❄ Mushroom Coffee for healthier coffee enjoyment with an extra boost (and healthy too!) (CH Shop, EU Shop)
❄ The Beard brush from Kostkamm (CH Shop, EU Shop) and the Beard oil from bepure (CH Shop, EU Shop) are a nice old school set for beard wearers.
❄ The Soapwalla Deodorant (CH Shop, EU Shop) and the Rosewood, cedar and clay facial soap (CH Shop, EU Shop) are ideal for the practical dad. Anna has this combination ready for her dad when he comes to visit her!
For the beloved partner
Whether partner, boyfriend, husband or lover, we want to "give love" and still remain practical - here our Anna has some special tips in store 😉
❄ Sex Dust from Moon Juice really makes love a gift! (CH Shop, EU Shop)
❄ Mushroom Coffee (CH Shop, EU Shop), Lion's Mane (CH Shop, EU Shop) or also Cordyceps (CH Shop, EU Shop) provide the ultimate coffee and thinking kick - concentration in instant mode!
❄ The sensitive skin of the care-loving man is treated with Safeas Olives Daily (CH Shop, EU Shop) and night cream (CH Shop, EU Shop) and Tata Harper's Hydrating Floral Essence (CH Shop, EU Shop) prepared for every situation. Practical, fast and really good.
❄ The counterpart to this: Soapwalla deodorant (CH Shop, EU Shop) and Soap (CH Shop, EU Shop) in combination with the Long.Live.Daily Intelligent Nutrients Shampoo Set (CH Shop, EU Shop) is perfect for all practical, 5-minute bathers and has everything they need in the bathroom at their fingertips.
For the best friend
Giving your best friend a present is always fun! After all, you already know what she wants. Anna likes to give gifts that you can use to really relax and make yourself at home - whether it's for a night out or a long phone call with your best friend!
❄ Whamisa Organic Sea Kelp Facial Sheet Mask is a unique sheet mask made from a whole algae. The skin becomes fuller, moisturised and clearer, and the application provides relaxation for relaxing moments at home. Shared with a friend, it's even more fun, because joy shared is joy doubled! (CH Shop, EU Shop)
❄ De Mamiel Brightening Cleanse & Exfoliate smells of rose and chocolate (Anna calls the scent "banana split"!) and is an exciting gift for anyone who likes to sniff good fragrances. But beware, the fragrance can be addictive... (CH Shop, EU Shop)
❄ Global Body Serum by Lina Hanson (CH Shop, EU Shop) is an absolute dream for every skin, giving the soul a sweet and fresh kick. An ideal gift that your girlfriend might not be able to afford herself and will enjoy all the more!
❄ For a great look and a successful appearance for your best friend, the Almost Famous gift set from Lily Lolo. (CH Shop, EU Shop)
For the dear sister
Anna not only has two brothers, but also a sister. But what does she get her sister? At least one or two of these skincare beauties for a radiant sister, and not just under the Christmas tree!
❄ Dr Sponge Konjac Sponge with pearl for radiant skin (CH Shop, EU Shop) combined with the Lina Hanson Global Face Serum (CH Shop, EU Shop) is a wonderful ritual in itself that pampers and gives your beloved sister that certain glow.
❄ The double beam moment is provided by the Kypris Glow Philtre Mask. What sister doesn't want to look radiant? (CH Shop, EU Shop)
❄ Lily Lolo Iconic Eye Collection ensures the perfect eye look with the WOW factor. No sister competition! (CH Shop, EU Shop)
❄ Beauty Dust from Moon Juice is an all-in-one weapon that is good for both skin and hair and is ideal for trying out together - whether in coffee, tea or perhaps a sisterly beauty cocktail. (CH Shop, EU Shop)
For the strong brother
Anna has two brothers and therefore plenty of good ideas on how to provide the fast carers with practical and fun gifts:
❄ Dr Sponge Konjac bamboo charcoal sponge is made for brothers: it is practical and, above all, easy to use for a long time. (CH Shop, EU Shop)
❄ Long.Live.Daily. Gift Set from Intelligent Nutrients provides pleasant freshness and revitalises both the scalp and the stressed soul of the brother. (CH Shop, EU Shop)
❄ Whether you're a tea or coffee drinker, you can enjoy pure pleasure with Matcha (CH Shop, EU Shop). Combined with the Bamboo broom (CH Shop, EU Shop) and Chashaku bamboo spoon (CH Shop, EU Shop), it brings additional fun to the preparation of the tea ritual.
❄ When things need to be done "quickly" again, the Soapwalla deodorant (CH Shop, EU Shop) and the Bamboo activated charcoal & bitter orange oil facial soap (CH Shop, EU Shop) ideal for the practically minded brother.
For nieces, nephews and other little big friends
We would love to keep the magic of Christmas for our little ones all year round. Unfortunately, we can't do that, so we try to prolong the sparkle in the children's eyes for at least a little longer:
❄ Magic wand "best friends" from Lüttes Welt lets you discover new worlds - and draw shapes in the bath water. (CH Shop)
❄ Dirty sparrow bath set (CH Shop) and crackling, pink bathing volcano (CH Shop) make every bath an experience and are beneficial for young skin.
For the beloved grandparents
They are one of our first companions and friends for life: Grandma and Grandpa. Care and pampering ideas for our much-loved grandparents:
❄ Dry and stressed hands will find the Safeas Argan Regenerating Hand Cream immediate relief and care. (CH Shop, EU Shop) (This hand cream has been tried and tested by Anna's grandma, she found it very good and asked for it again and again).
❄ Small and large wrinkles are taken care of Safeas Argan Regenerating Night Cream. (CH Shop, EU Shop) Especially nice for grannies who want and deserve a minute of pampering and good skin protection!
❄ Pot of Gold Baby Balm is made for very chapped, dry skin in need of care. It provides relief even for minor rashes, burns, cuts and cracks. Gentle and fragrant, it is loved by grandparents and parents alike for its simplicity and wide range of applications. (CH Shop, EU Shop)
❄ The Pukka Tea Box not only decorates grandma's cupboards, but also reminds her to top up her tea supply. Alternatively, you can also use it to store another night-time nightcap. (CH Shop)
For the parents-in-law
For those who can't decide between angels and brats, we say: Never mind! With these gifts, the decision is out of the question:
❄ Hardly any other product expresses "you are important to me" as well as the "Care" gift set from Fair Squared. (CH Shop)
❄ The Regeneration & care gift set (CH Shop, EU Shop) or the Soothing & strengthening care gift set from Safeas (CH Shop, EU Shop) quickly calm frayed nerves and spoil every mother-in-law.
For natural beauty fans
Passion connects. But what do you give natural beauty addicts who already know all the products on the market inside out? Exactly: new releases! Anna is gifting her personal favourites this year - hopefully we'll be among the recipients! 😉
❄ Plume Lash & Brow Enhancing Serum (CH Shop) is a groundbreaking product and therefore a MUST for every beauty fan, whether natural cosmetics or not! Available for the first time in Europe and only from Biomazing. Anna is already using it and swears by its effects!
❄ Global Face Trio by Lina Hanson (CH Shop, EU Shop) is versatile (as a cleanser, as a peeling and as a mask) - and conjures up such beautiful skin that we wonder where this mask has been until now!
Soul comforter wanted!
It's never easy when illness, worries and problems arise. Especially in the run-up to Christmas, when the joy of anticipation should dominate our everyday lives, it seems even more difficult to cope. Anyone who knows Anna may have unexpectedly received something from Lotus Wei in the post because she thought to herself "she/he could really do with this!". Anna especially recommends the following for the festive season:
❄ Infinite Love Elixir by Lotus Wei (CH Shop, EU Shop) for the love for yourself that you then radiate.
❄ Inner Peace Perfume by Lotus Wei (CH Shop, EU Shop) gives you peace and relaxation and allows you to make peace with the situation.
