There comes a time when you just have to pick yourself up and do your freaking Christmas present shopping! Feel me? If you just nodded in agreement, then, like me, now is about the time when you realise there's only two weeks until Christmas Eve (aka. the super fun  present shopping cut-off date). Oh yes, the deadline is looming, which is why I'm choosing now to share with you my gift idea posts. Chances are, you've picked out some really great presents for your family from other gift guides and now totally forgot about what and where they were (I'm kicking myself for doing this for another consecutive year).

So, let's get down to business and finally buy some ah-mazing presents (online, of course - avoid the crowds at all costs people!) that your loved ones will gush over come Christmas Day. Today I'm sharing with you my favourite ever limited edition gift packs* that will have your skin glowing despite the ridiculous amount of delicious food and drinks you have just consumed over the holiday period.

MECCA MAXIMA & MECCA COSMETICA

As per usual, Mecca has come through with the good this Christmas with their beyond impressive range of limited edition skincare gifts this year. My top picks? The  Nude Beauty of Nutrition Set, which includes the Nude Perfect Cleanse Omega Cleansing Jelly, Advanced Renewal Moisturiser and   ProGenius Omega Treatment Oil, all three of which feel luxurious on the skin and are packed with brilliant natural ingredients, which is why this set would be a great addition to any skincare routine.

Another great addition to any Christmas Tree is the  Ren Get Your Glow On Gift Set, also from  Mecca. The Gift Set comes with a bunch of great travel sized, skin-boosting products in a convenient little beauty travel bag, including the Ren Micro Polish Cleanser, Flash Rinse 1 Minute Facial (who doesn't love a zippy facial?!), Glycolic Radiance Renewal Mask and a sachet of the Wake Wonderful Night-Time Facial. Talking about a killer travel line-up that perfect for a worldly love one, eh?!

While I have you as well, I really must recommend the Mecca Air Kisses, a kit that features three mini Lip de-Luscious SPF 25 balms in different shades. So many of you have been asking about them throughout the year since I picked them up last Christmas (for myself, he-he-he) and they have truly become a few of my must-have beauty essentials. It's a limited edition trio, so make sure you get in fast. You won't want to miss out on these beauties!

ULTRACEUTICALS HYDRATION COLLECTION

Ultraceuticals is one of those skincare brands that skin specialists always recommend, which is why I was so excited to hear that they were releasing a special  Christmas Collection containing their most popular products. And just when you think it can't get any better, Ultraceuticals has collaborated with the talented illustrator, The Lust List, for their  Limited Edition Collection. Since I'm all about hydrating my skin in the summertime, I got  The Lust List for Ultraceuticals Hydration Collection, which contains the Ultraceuticals Ultra Hydrating Milk Cleanser (oh baby, those words speak to me), Ultra B2 Hydrating Serum and Ultra Moisturiser Cream. I'll admit, I don't particularly want to wrap and put under the Christmas Tree. Would it be so bad if I kept this one for myself? My mum might have other thoughts about that!

JURLIQUE ICONIC COLLECTION

This has to be the most obvious skincare gift ever, right? I mean, Jurlique is such a luxurious, much-loved beauty brand that surely there isn't a soul on your Christmas list that wouldn't jump in joy over such a stunning gift. Jurlique are offering an incredible range of limited edition Christmas collections and products this year, with my top pick not surprisingly being the  Jurlique Iconic Collection Gift Set. It has a few of their classic products, including the Jurlique Rose Hand Cream, Rosewater Balancing Mist (which I've recently fallen in-love with) and Herbal Recovery Advanced Serum. Whoever get's this one is going to be one happy person!

ASPAR FROM AURORA SPA

Last on my skincare gift guide list is a little different to the rest, as it is for your hands (not your face). Introducing the beautiful  Aspar Luxe Hand Collection from  Aurora Spa, a gift pack that will keep your hands in tip-top shape, even in our dry summer weather, with it's Aspar Botanical Hand Wash, Rose & Shea Hand Crea, and even a double ended file and buffer for your nails. Just writing about it makes me wish for a spare moment to pamper my overworked (typing, it's tough work) hands. If you could give one excuse for a loved one to take some time out for themselves to simply relax, it's this.

*I highly suggest a 'one for you, one for me' approach.
