bitebeauty STMAS GIFTS 2021 C hristmas always seems to come early when it is time to think about and pick gifts for friends and family. There is some pride going on when picking the right gift that will wow them. Thinking about what they like or need, and sometimes what would be useful for them is my mission. Hence why, there is so much exploring, trying and checking on suitable ideas because nobody wants to buy a gift that is not appreciated or useful. So here, are some of the best-picked beauty products I love, and will hopefully be appreciated by conscious shoppers, free-from and natural ingredients lovers. ABOVE & BEYOND REFILLABLE LIP BALMS These brand-new luxurious saving planet Lip Balms are just what we need this Christmas. Created to last a lifetime, the adorable, biode- gradable pods allow the balms to be recyclable on subscription. The lip balms are full of natural oils, including Coconut Oil, Shea Butter, Olive Oil and Sunflower Seed Wax leaving the lips smooth and hydrated. They are available in four delicious flavours: Comforting Coconut, Sweet Vanilla, Tropical Mango and Mixed Berry. It is hard to pick my favourite so I like to mix them up for the extra flavours. I also love the idea of helping the planet by reducing waste and packaging, while offering great, natural products that do not cost the earth. Ordering the refill is easily done online. Once you receive the new balm, simply unscrew the base from the case, remove the top lid, insert the refill lip balm, screw the base piece back on and remove the lid from the lip balm to apply on the lips. Lots of fun and thumbs up for creativity and consciousness. www.aandb.world Card designs courtesy of Margaret Reid
