Who can believe that the clocks go back this weekend already? As the longer nights draw in, the heating goes on and the pumpkin-spice smells and cinnamon flavours come out in full force, we’re turning our attention to gift-giving season. This has been a year full of ups and downs for all of us, but there’s nothing like preparing for the holidays season to help make you feel more normal. It’s never too soon to start writing your gift lists and budgeting accordingly, so here are some ideas to help get you started!

Is there any gift more classic than a beautiful fragrance? Treat a couple to his-and-hers 25th Edition fragrances. Forever’s 25th Edition Eau de Parfum provides a sweet, light perfume with a complex and perfectly balanced combination of rose petals, star jasmine, white lily and magnolia, while 25th Edition Cologne is a perfect blend of musk and fruit aromas, with herbaceous and woody notes of oakmoss and sandalwood.

For those who love skincare, we have three ranges which can make for excellent gifts, especially if you know their skin type. Infinite by Forever targets ageing from the inside out and the outside in with revolutionary formulas designed to tone and firm the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while the Sonya Daily Skincare System is formulated specifically for combination skin, and delivers aloe, moisture and botanicals deep into your skin thanks to Forever’s advanced gel-based technology. Our Targeted skincare range does what it says on the label and can be mixed and matched with other products to target specific skin concerns – our new Hydrating Serum, boasting four types of hyaluronic acid, recently received some fantastic results in a consumer survey.

For the ultimate indulgence, why not treat somebody to our award-winning Aloe Bio-Cellulose Mask? Providing potent, energising hydration using forward-thinking technology and natural ingredients, this next-level mask fits every contour of the face, allowing it to penetrate deep into fine lines and wrinkles, unveiling soft, supple skin and a complexion that glows.

Is your recipient looking to make some changes in the New Year? The C9 can be a great option for those looking to adjust their mindset and prepare for a fit and healthy new year. This nutritionally-balanced programme allows you to see real results in just nine days.

Or if they’re already a fitness fanatic with goals to smash, give them a helping hand with treats like Forever Lite Ultra, which contains 24 grams of protein per serving as well as vital vitamins and minerals or ARGI+, a delicious and nutritious berry-flavoured sports drink contains five grams of L-arginine per serving.
