Beautiful, useful and planet friendly gifts made in England

The English Soap Company has launched a new range of beautiful gift boxes just in time for Christmas gifting.

The Kew Gardens Essential Hand Care Set each include a trio of items to cleanse, moisturise and protect. There are eight fragrances to choose from including Bergamot and Ginger, Jasmine Peach; Bluebell and Jasmine; Lavender and Rosemary; Lemongrass and Lime; Magnolia and Pear; Narcissus Lime and Osmanthus Rose.

Presented in beautiful gift boxes and illustrated with designs inspired by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, they are priced at £30. All of the products are made in England, are cruelty-free and have sustainable packaging as well as being free from parabens, SLS and SLES.

Brand and Marketing Manager Kelsey Heaton explains: “Following the popularity and excellent customer feedback about our original gift boxes, we decided to expand the range. We’re incredibly proud of these stunning new designs and the beauty of the gift boxes is that they don’t need to be wrapped which helps save paper.”

Also new is the Anniversary gift box collection containing products with a choice of seven different sumptuous fragrances enriched with moisturising vitamin E and aloe vera. The stunning gift boxes are illustrated with designs inspired by nature to celebrate 20 years of soap making in the beautiful Sussex countryside.

For affordable but equally beautiful gifts priced at £5.45, you can choose from a range of individually wrapped 190g Christmas soap bars with new designs such as skating polar bears and Christmas gingerbread with wonderful festive fragrances. While the ideal stocking fillers at £4 are the seven new Christmas Character Boxes featuring an owl, a snowman, Santa, a polar bear, a badger, a penguin and a reindeer.

For those who love Christmas fragrances there is the Winter Village Hand Soap Gift Set at £10.95. This gift set contains three 100g individually wrapped hand soaps, perfectly presented in a gift box that is decorated with a beautifully nostalgic vintage Christmas design. The scented soaps have a mulled wine fragrance, evoking the spirit of Christmas with the scent of cinnamon, nutmeg and red wine. Fruity notes of orange and hints of lemon add a citrus perfume to this warm aroma. Enriched with moisturising shea butter, these soap bars will nourish and moisturise all skin types.

The English Soap Company festive candle collection includes the Wintertide Candle Collection, priced at £10.95. Made from soy wax, the 170ml single-wick candle has a burn time of approximately 35 hours. Ranging in a variety of festive fragrances there is a candle for everyone, including the Winter Solstice Scented Candle with a festive perfume of a fresh, snow-covered landscape combined with white spruce, eucalyptus and a touch of lime.  You can also choose from candles scented with mulled wine or spiced plum among other fragrances – all of which have beautifully designed plastic-free and recyclable packaging.
