For anyone looking to buy that special someone an amazing beauty or grooming gift box for Christmas, look no further than Aesop's The Guild of Artisans kits. They are so damn gorgeous!

I'm a sucker for lovely packaging, and if there's one thing Aesop do well, next in line to their products of course, it's packaging. These are all presented in black tins, and the coloured lids are actually printed card wraps, made to look like the texture of the particular box.The kits, we are told on the press release, collectively titled 'The Guild of Artisans', pay tribute to materials frequently employed in Aesop spaces: ceramics, leather, textiles, copper, timber and marble. And if anyone has been to an Aesop shop, you'll recognize all these elements from your visit. All the shops are clean, minimal and essentially just do their job, much like all their products.I very kindly got sent the Textile box, 'A Flaxen Finish', which contains the geranium leaf body cleanser - a gorgeously soft cleanser for all over, the rind concentrate body balm (will do a separate blog post) - my favourite body moisturizer, mainly because of its strong citrus smell and refreshing-ness, and the rosehip seed lip cream - great for sensitive lips, and a lovely alternative to a balm.
