Black Lime Gin: A bold adventure in every sip
If her pick is gin when she settles down for the weekend, how about Black Lime Gin – a bold and adventurous spirit?
Crafted to capture the essence of exotic spices and citrus complexity, this spirit has a rich base of juniper and coriander, but elevated by a dark tang of black lime and the numbing spice of Szechuan pepper. Clove and orris root add warmth and depth, while elderberry and yuzu provide a fruity and zesty finish.
For flavoured gin lovers, it’s a must in their stocking.
Available: £43, Witchmark Distillery
Stacked with style: The eyeshadow palette she’ll actually use
The design alone makes this pick instantly giftable – unique, satisfying, and so much much more exciting to unwrap than a single-pan shadow. Inside the innovative swing-open, stacked palette, she’ll find four easy-to-apply mattifying shades: Latte, Caramel, Cappuccino and Espresso.
Buttery and buildable, the fine powders glide on with no fall-out and blend effortlessly, taking her from a soft daytime look to full-on festive glam in seconds.
Complete with a built-in mirror, the stack is perfect for on-the-go. This stack earns its spot as a gift with staying power – one that’s sure to be reached for time and again, long after the festivities fade.
