When the city centres are bathed in a sea of lights and the scent of roasted apples and mulled wine wafts across the market squares, the most burning question of the current festive season arises.
What should I give as a Christmas present? For years, fragrances and high-quality cosmetics have proven to be classics. They are among the most popular Christmas surprises for Germans.
Because whether woman or man, old or young – beauty gifts are available in all classes and designs, so there is something for everyone.
When the nights get shorter and the temperatures drop, the search for a suitable Christmas surprise begins again. Perfume shops have been a popular place to go for years.
A beautiful fragrance is considered a classic under the Christmas tree. And not without reason: From a niche product to a popular bestseller, a perfume can cover all levels of demand.
Many brands offer gift sets with an expanded product range, especially in the winter season. The fragrance comes with a matching body lotion or shower gel. A fragrant thing...
Another plus: the special editions often contain packs in smaller sizes, so you can simply try a new product without regrets.
Advent calendars are also a good way to try out a provider's range. There are more and more beauty companies that offer their products in a small format as calendars.
That means a mini surprise for 24 days. It doesn't always have to be chocolate. But perfumes aren't the only tried-and-tested surprises.
Christmas is a boom time for cosmetics, which the recipient rarely treats themselves to.
Time for luxurious creams, high-end body lotions, fragrant bath additives with a spa character, soaps with high-quality oils, a brow treatment or the extravagant nail polish that your girlfriend, daughter or colleague has been circling around for a long time - you can score points all around with beauty gifts.
Spectacular makeup palettes, glitter highlighters, shimmering powder or dramatic mascara are also ideal, with which the recipient can make an impression at the New Year's Eve party just a few days later. Add a chic hair accessory and the look is perfect.
But what use is the most beautiful make-up if you don't have any accessories to apply it? Beauty tools are a safe bet at Christmas because they are always needed.
A selection of high-quality sponges, (reusable) pads, brushes and scissors help to show off your favorite products. A set of brushes, whether vegan or made of natural hair, is a safe bet.
Combined with an exclusive shaving soap or aftershave, brushes also prove to be the ideal gift for the well-groomed man.
Electronic beauty devices such as razors or facial massagers are designed to last. Wellness fans will enjoy relaxing Gua Sha stones or gemstone rollers.
If you are still unsure whether your choice will suit the taste of the recipient, you can use a beauty voucher.
Combined with a joint shopping trip, where you try out the range together – and perhaps a glass of Prosecco afterwards – it becomes a present with a personal touch and quality time together.
