You’ll never go wrong with the perfect PJs as a gift.

3. The ECO Hair Care Pamper Box
Pamper them with an Eco Hair Care Gift Set, £28, by Cornwall-based brand Helen Round.
Say ‘I love you’ with the best little pampering gift box that has the planet in mind. The Helen Round Eco Hair Care Gift Set includes a Reusable Bamboo Hair Wrap Towel, a Bamboo Scrunchie and a Handmade Lavender, Aloe & Lemon Shampoo Bar. Made of environmentally friendly, super soft bamboo, the wet hair wrap soaks up moisture. It eliminates the need to rub hair dry, which saves on damaging hair cuticles, so less frizz and fewer tangles. We love The Lavender, Aloe & Lemon Shampoo Bar too. This natural hair & body shampoo-in-a-bar is designed for use on hands, body, face and hair. Handmade on Trevarno Farm in south Cornwall, olive & lavender oils are blended with aloe vera to create an ultra gentle, nutrient-rich shampoo for natural shine and volume.
