Who doesn’t love seeing a face light up as a loved one unwraps our gift?
Giving releases endorphins, serotonin, and dopamine giving us a sense of pleasure. Neurologists suggest that our brain is wired to deliver pleasure from giving.
Have you noticed the lift in spirit around Christmas or Birthdays? It’s the Joy of Giving.
Giving is a great way to boost relationships between one another and carries lots of subtle emotional benefits to both giver and receiver – so when you are gifting, do it thoughtfully and with intent rather than just because!
The Problem
One of the biggest consumerism seasons is upon us – this brings pressure to bulk buy with tempting discounts, for things we may not even want or need!
Some Stats:
‘According to our survey of 2,009 British adults, we estimate that over 21 million (50.77%) of us receive at least one unwanted gift each Christmas. There’s even 1 in 10 (9.26%) of us who have deliberately bought someone a gift they knew they wouldn’t like.
An estimated 114,000 tonnes of plastic packaging will be wasted and not recycled in the UK this Christmas! Source: https://www.finder.com/uk/unwanted-gifts

Embrace the art of gifting:
Don’t you agree that a gift should carry meaning as it is a non-verbal way to express feelings and appreciation for one another? A simple gesture of generosity like a gift, big or small assures a lift in morale and creates a deeper connection.
Sustainable giving:
Being eco-conscious consumers means we not only think about the perfect gift but about its provenance and its journey in the long term. A circle of mindfulness and care that will benefit us, our loved ones and our planet.
Our top mindful gifts for the seasons
For those who are new to Inlight
Our newest sets, The Gua Sha Experience and The Face Mask Duo Set have been created for this year's gifting season. Both contain 7ml versions of our best-selling skincare, alongside high-quality accessories that are sure to give the gift of Natural radiance.
Our Trial and Travel range contain the finest quality organic skincare in delightful miniature. This makes them perfect for those who have yet to experience Inlight (or long-time fans who are always on the go!)
Although small, our 7ml collectables are mighty, due to our formulas being so rich. Only a little is needed to nurture and heal the skin. You can choose to have these gift wrapped too.

Our entire skincare collection has been carefully crafted using artisan techniques. Any of our products are sure to be received well by that special someone.
If you are particularly struggling to find the perfect present, our Gifts and Bundles have been individually selected by the Inlight team to make an impeccable, cohesive gift all in one.
Our Essentials Set contains a full-size version of our Cleanser, Floral Tonic and Face Oil, and The Nourisher has a variety of our moisturising must-haves for skin in need of total nourishment.
Each of these comes in our eco-friendly branded box, wrapped with white linen ribbon and finished with an elegant handcrafted Nkuku glass decoration.
Gift ideas for teens from Inlight
Skin concerns and ‘problem’ skin can make buying skincare for teenagers a difficult task. However, our skincare is suitable for all skin types and our Skincare Essentials Set can be used on skin with acne to eczema and more.
This contains our 3-step system - the foundation to healthy, radiant, clear skin.
The smaller size of the Cleanser, Toner and Face Oil included means that this set is the perfect introduction to Inlight for teens, and is the optimal 6-week trial for happy skin.
Luxury skincare gifts for Him
Although our skincare can be used by all, the genetic makeup of those with XY chromosomes is different to those with XX.
Our men’s range has been specially formulated for the thicker skin of men. Our award-winning oils cleanse, nourish and moisturise all skin types.
Our Head & Beard oil softens and smooths tough beard hair and the hard-to-reach skin underneath and, when combined with our Handcrafted Wooden Beard Comb, tames any barnet.

For those who already have everything Inlight
For those who are a little harder to buy for, already know their favourites or don’t know what they might like, a Gift Card is always a fantastic present for those looking but simply can't decide on what to buy.
Our Gift Cards can be any set amount from £25 to £100 and can be used
Our tips for finding the perfect sustainable gift:
- Make it useful: a single-use gift is not sustainable and will soon be ditched. It’s easy to find something that can be used over and over or to gift an “experience” that will create good memories.
- Sentimental value: find something with a meaning to create a lovely lasting connection to be treasured.
- With purpose: the gift of self-care. How about something that allows that person to slow down and take care of them?
- The Origin: look for handcrafted gifts as they carry a story and care.
- Materials: choose materials that don’t cost the earth and can be recycled or repurposed.
- Own-made: creativity is priceless. Make something yourself to add a personal unique touch.
- Regifting:
Your mindful choice will make the gifting a transformational and fulfilling experience for you and others.
