Should you hang a beauty bauble on your tree?

While December marks the birth of many Christmas traditions such as parties and caroling, it also marks the return of the dreaded Secret Santa.

Another question is whether it’s even possible to find a suitable gift for under £15.

But fear not, a Christmas miracle is coming our way in the form of beautiful baubles.

These limited-edition holiday “ornaments” contain everything from eye shadow and lip balm to bubble bath, and promise to be the perfect Secret Santa gift or stocking filler. Plus, many of them come at pocket-friendly prices.

Here’s CLAIRE COLEMAN’s selection of decorative gifts worth hanging on your tree…

MINI BUT MIGHTY

Mini Energy Moment by Aromatherapy Associates, £12, Aromatherapyassociates.com

The beauty of Aromatherapy Associates mini bottles of bath and shower oils is that a little goes a long way. Here, everyone’s favorite Revive oil is ready to hang on the tree.

If the recipient needs to relax instead, they can also offer a “Mini Moment of Peaceful Sleep” with Deep Relax Oil.

VERDICT: Great pleasure that will last for at least three sessions. 4/5

REUSABLE GIFT

Heathcote & Ivory Love Revival bauble, £8, hartsofstur.com

This unsung hero of British beauty hit the big time with a beautifully embellished, reusable metal bauble featuring a jazzy 1970s mandala design. It’s filled with miniature hand cream and lip balm that both grandmas and teenagers will love.

VERDICT: A winning product with a bauble that will look good on any tree. 5/5

TWO BEST

Terry Opulent: Star Beauty Must-Haves Duet, £31.50, Lookfantastic.com

This luxurious trinket is for the serious makeup lover.

While the square shape might be a bit unconventional, this one is worth going for, which contains Hydra-Powder’s glitter pressed hyaluronic powder (usually £42) and mini eyeshadow sticks in a super wearable bronze shade.

VERDICT: Stunning beauty, but the price means it’s more suitable for keeping under the tree than as a stocking stuffer. 4/5

SALON SHADES

Mavala Nail Polish Bauble, £5.20, Franklinsonline.com

Swiss nail care brand Mavala has made it easier by releasing a clear plastic trinket containing a 5ml bottle of nail polish.

Available in four shades, including festive red and silver glitter (as well as a couple more muted pinks).

VERDICT: The classic polish colors mean it’s hard to go wrong with this trinket, but the packaging is a little boring. 3/5

SONG LIPS

UpCircle under the mistletoe bauble, £9.99, upcirclebeauty.com

This trinket is perfect for the planet-loving person. UpCircle specializes in reviving food waste ingredients and turning them into vegan beauty products. This lip balm is made from processed hemp seeds combined with ultra-hydrating shea butter and comes in a glass jar inside a navy blue bauble.

VERDICT: An environmentally friendly and healthy addition to any handbag. 4/5

SINGLE BERRIES

Molton Brown Merry Berries & Mimosa festive bauble, £15, moltonbrown.co.uk

This exquisite jewel-shaped bubble bath bauble from Molton Brown is filled with a fruity gel with a subtle gold shimmer and matching gold thread for hanging on a tree.

VERDICT: Pricey at just 75ml, but it will impress label-loving bath lovers. 3/5

HOLIDAY GLOW

Evolve Beauty Instant Radiance Bauble, £14, developmentbeauty.co.uk

Who doesn’t need an instant glow this time of year? And you can get it with this five-minute Radiant Glow Mask, which contains clay and cocoa to help revitalize and clarify skin, as well as coconut particles to gently buff the skin, all packaged in a cute green card bauble.

VERDICT: Suitable for all skin types and £2 cheaper than the regular travel size. 4/5

GLOSSY LOCKS

Sebastian Dark Oil Bauble, £12, josephferraroonline.co.uk

This gorgeously scented styling oil from cult hair care brand Sebastian Professional will leave your Christmas hair looking shiny, voluminous and smelling amazing.

VERDICT: It’s a real treat in a pyramid-shaped bauble. 4/5
