Christmas shoppers snap early bargain with Molton Brown gift set
There’s nothing like a set of festive soaps to remind you that Christmas is on the way. Right now, via Wowcher, you can pick up Molton Brown Festive Bauble Bath & Shower Gift Set for £17.99, down from £39.99 — an ideal gift for a loved one this Christmas, or perhaps a festive treat to indulge in yourself.
Across three 75ml, bauble-shaped bottles, the set includes three of Molton Brown’s most popular scents: fiery pink pepper, black pepper, and rhubarb and rose. Perfect for use either in the bath or shower, once the baubles are emptied you can put their elegant design to work on your tree!
This vegetarian-friendly, cruelty and paraben-free set is produced in Essex, making use of a manufacturing process that’s been in use since 1971. Molton Brown is a hugely well-respected name in toiletries, with the late Queen Elizabeth II even awarding the brand a Royal Warrant.
Over on Amazon, a similar set with the same scents has an impressive average rating of 4.8/5 from almost 30 reviews. There happy customers laud its gift suitability: “Gift for a friend who absolutely loves it,” said one, while another added: “This is for Christmas presents for family and friends.”
The standalone black pepper shower gel has a similarly high 4.8 star average rating from nearly 4,000 reviews. “I like the fact that the shower gel is good quality. This means a better lather with a small amount of gel. Very pleasant smell. Worth the money because it lasts a long time,” a happy shopper said.
As is often the case, it is somewhat dependent on the user’s skin type. “Unfortunately, I did notice that my skin felt a bit dry after using this shower gel. Despite its luxurious feel, it seemed to strip away some natural oils from my skin, which was a disappointment,” said one four-star review. Another customer had trouble with catching the fragrance post-wash: “I find by the time I’m dried off I can’t smell it at all.”
If you’re looking for alternative shower set gifts for friends and family this Christmas, check out the Bondi Sands Clearer Skin Bundle, available for £33 (reduced from £47). Meanwhile, Beauty Bay’s Birthday Box at £50 is a steal considering the products inside are worth £149.
