Boots’s star gifts are back in time for Christmas 2022: Here’s what we’re shopping this year
Whether you refuse to embrace the Christmas spirit until at least mid November, or found yourself browsing advent calendars and Christmas food earlier than you would care to admit, the festive season (and inevitable shopping frenzy) will be here before we know it.
And when it comes to Christmas shopping this year, saving money on gifts may be even more important with the rising cost of living. If you are indeed looking to shop savvy with gifts (and treats for yourself) for less this festive season, the return of Boots’s “star gifts” selection for 2022 is well worth having on your radar.
If you’re looking for the perfect present for beauty lovers or unmissable deals on their signature fragrance, the popular selection offers eye-catching discounts across beauty bundles and gift sets – some of which are sold exclusively at Boots.
There’s also some stellar deals across electricals, make-up, skincare – some better than half price – from big-name brands such as Bobbi Brown, Fenty, Beauty Works, The Ordinary, Oral-B and more.
As we gear up for Christmas, the retailer will be adding to its collection with more of these “star gifts” so that, if you haven’t seen anything you love just yet, there’s plenty of time to find something you do.
