LUXURY THAT DOESN’T BREAK THE BANK

We understand the dilemma – that escalating prices of daily goods has made it harder to shop. But we are here to tell you that luxurious self-care items don’t have to break your wallet, and quality doesn’t mean spending a hefty sum.

Beyond being stocking stuffers, these sets we have compiled are thoughtfully curated items that are not too hard on your budget, because as the Holiday season approaches and gifting starts, what matters isn’t the amount spent, but the thought we put into each and every gift.

Plus, these are also great for personal use – for travel, trying or toying with a new routine!

Best Home Fragrances

To scent your personal space, you can’t go wrong with Diptyque Holiday Collection 2023, featuring mini scented candles (RM235) in Sapin , Delice and Coton and room spray in Sapin (also RM235) to get you in the mood for the festive season.

These limited-edition scents are collectors’ dream, appearing on the shelves – and in your living spaces – once a year only, so get them before the whiff is gone!

Best All-in-One Travel Kit

If you are a minimalist, this is the only kit you need when you travel. The Malin+Goetz Grooming Essentials (RM179) packs the brand’s best-sellers, all in travel-friendly sizes for the global nomad.

A complete lineup for hair, body and face, this should be a staple in your gym bag or weekend duffel. Travel-ready in aluminium tubes, each one helps you feel refreshed both during and after your journey.

Better still, the set comes in a biodegradable bag made from TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) that you can reuse.

Best In-Flight Treatment

When you’re in a long-haul flight, this Omorovicza Perfecting Duo Christmas Collection (RM299) is your go-to to ensure that your facial skin is in its pristine condition when you land.

Combined to beat dry skin brought about by in-flight air, the set comes with a face mist and lip balm so you can freshen up every few hours. Scented with neroli and rose, the Queen of Hungary Mist refreshes, purifies and hydrates, while Perfecting Lip Balm plumps lips for a fuller, chap-free pout.

Best Hydrating Essentials

The best skin is hydrated skin, and the Caudalie Vinosource Hydra My Beautiful Skin Set (RM195) features the perfect trio for this.

The serum, moisturiser and face mask are made for all skin types, including very sensitive skin, for a taste of a calming, hydrating routine.

The Vinosource SOS Thirst-Quenching Serum works deep down to refresh, restore and hydrate skin while the SOS Intense Moisturizing Cream nourishes and restores dry skin. Finally, the creamy Vinosource mask seals the skin with intense hydration.

Best Bath and Body Set

Here’s your all-year-round shower buddy; the Malin+Goetz Make It A Double or The Bright Side (RM265) containing full-size hand + body wash paired with body lotion. Available in firm favourites, Bergamot or Dark Rum, each set packs a punch with full-size bottles that’s worth RM328. It’s the perfect combo for just about anyone!

Best Luxury Oral Care

We brush our teeth daily, yet not many brands offer that daily indulgence and confidence early in the morning and at night before we call it a day.

But Marvis is here to do exactly that and its Marvis gift set (RM58) – available in mint, sweet and spicy – comes in a stylish gift box with three toothpastes in line with the theme.

A gender-neutral gift that is sure to delight, this is the choice for when you’re stumped for what to get for your dad or brother. After all, who doesn’t love a dose of luxury first thing in the morning?
