M&S shoppers can save up to 60% on big-name brands with new beauty bags for Christmas

It might seem a little early to start shopping for Christmas, but with less than 70 days on the countdown, the market is already full of options to suit every taste and budget. If you're looking to treat yourself or a loved one, Marks and Spencer has just unveiled a trio of gift bags that are perfect for beauty enthusiasts.

The three new gift bags each contain a selection of favourites from big brands at wallet-friendly prices. There is a Bath and Body gift bag, one that focuses on Skincare, and one for Haircare.

Each gift set comes in a silver drawstring bag. The miniature sizes are 75ml or less, perfect for travelling or trying out new brands without committing to full-size products or the full price tag.

The most affordable option of the three, this gift bag is perfect for anyone in need of a head-to-toe pampering. It includes everything from bath foam and body wash to hand cream and a dry oil inside. Priced at £25, it includes cult favourites from well-known brands, and according to the retailer, it can save shoppers 32% compared to buying the seven products separately.

The gift bag includes a 60ml bottle of Calm body wash from M&S's Apothecary range, which is infused with relaxing lavender, sweet orange and ho wood essential oils.

The relaxing experience continues with a 50ml bottle of Neom's Perfect Night's Sleep Bath Foam. Enriched with marshmallow, coconut oil, aloe and sweet almond oil, it's scented with lavender, sweet basil and jasmine essential oils.

There is also a 50ml Smoothing Body Wash from This Works, and a 75ml Almond Shower Oil from French brand L'Occitane. Another popular French pharmacy product included is a 10ml bottle of Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Florale Multi-Purpose Dry Oil, which can be used on the face, body and hair.

Finally, not forgetting the hands and lips, there's a 25ml Bloom and Blossom Hands Up Age-Defying hand cream and a tube of Dr. Paw Paw Original lip balm.

Shoppers looking to discover new skincare for less can grab this gift bag for £30, saving themselves 60% on six must-haves from some of the biggest names in beauty. It includes everything you need to build a skincare routine, from face wash to serums and creams.

To start you off with a clean canvas, there's a 30ml jar of Emma Hardie's Moringa Cleansing Balm, and 50ml of the iconic Checks and Balances Face Wash by Origins.

The bag also includes a 30ml retinoid serum by Formula, and because no skincare routine is complete without moisturiser, there's also 15ml of Clinique's Dramatically Different moisturising gel and 5ml of Estée Lauder's Advanced Night Repair Supercharged Eye Cream.

The lineup is complete with a 30ml tube of Weleda Skin Food, a multipurpose product that can be used on the face, but also on rough skin on the whole body.

This gift bag is great for shoppers who want to give their hair a spa day, and includes six products from trusted brands that will cleanse, nourish and repair your strands while saving you 60% in value.

The set includes two matching 75ml bottles of Philip Kingsley's Body Building shampoo and conditioner to volumise and revive hair.

There's also 25ml of Aveda's nourishing Botanical Repair Treatment. Scented with ylang-ylang, rose and marjoram, it's designed to repair, reduce frizz, and protect hair against damage while styling.

The collection also features 50ml of Color Wow's much-loved Money Masque for hair that needs deeper hydration, and 30ml of Percy and Reed's bestselling Wonder Balm, which preps hair for styling and promises 72 frizz-free hours.

Finally, there's a 50ml bottle of Arkive's Good Habit Hybrid Oil, which is infused with jojoba oil and claims to protect against dryness, frizz and UV damage.

Marks and Spencer shoppers stocking up on Christmas presents can also grab the retailer's Beauty Advent Calendar for £60 instead of its original price of £330 when they spend £35 or more on full-price fashion, homeware, or beauty items.

Made in collaboration with iconic designer Bella Freud, the advent calendar includes eight full-size products and 25 selected skincare, haircare, fragrance, and beauty favourites.
