'I found the ultimate £5 pamper set Boots shoppers say is ‘ideal' for Christmas stockings'

With just one week until December 25, many shoppers will be looking for those last minute ‘little bit of somethings’ to order before the last post cut off dates. And I’ve found the perfect stocking filler that’s currently half price at Boots , and will arrive in time to be under the three on Christmas Day.

The Nivea Pampervan Skincare Gift Set was originally £10, but beauty lovers can pick it up for £5 for a limited time. Containing four Nivea favourites, each item inside works out at £1.25 each, which is less than what they’d usually retail for individually.

The items themselves are those many would typically find in their stocking anyway, from the rich nourishing body lotion and iconic Nivea creme, to a hydrating lip balm and soft moisturising cream. But with this set, not only do you get them for a snip of the price, but they also come in fun novelty packaging which shoppers say is ‘really cute’.

One customer wrote: "Looks really nice, they’re to be used for Christmas so I’m hoping people love it but I guess you can’t go wrong with a few minis from the best Nivea products. Packaging is really cute.”

Another added: "Lovely novelty packaging, ideal for Christmas stocking gifts . Good value and Nivea products are always good.”

Usually £2 each, the Nivea Soft Moisturising Cream is a highly effective, revitalising cream for everyday use. The light formula with Vitamin E and Jojoba Oil is quickly absorbed and refreshes the skin, earning it a 4.7 star rating based on more than 1,200 reviews. One hailed it as a ‘very good moisturiser’ adding: "Is quite thick but absorbs well into the skin. My hands felt soft for hours after using this cream and I also applied to my feet a couple of times and noticed a difference.”

However, for others, they found the formula to be a little too rich, commenting: "I found this product incredibly thick and greasy when applied, and it took a long time to soak in, leaving my skin very shiny and greasy. It was fine to use on my legs overnight, but not as a quick application.”

But another five-star comment read: "This lightweight, non-greasy cream absorbs quickly, leaving skin feeling soft and hydrated. The subtle scent is pleasant, and it's gentle enough for daily use on the face, body, and hands. A true all-rounder at an affordable price.”

Beauty baubles and crackers are also a great way to gift stocking fillers, with no need for wrapping, either. For example, the Q+A Hydrating Heroes Skincare Gift Set stars a Hyaluronic Acid Facial Serum 30ml and Daily Moisturiser 75ml, and is £10 on Amazon. Or, if you’re gifting to a fragrance fan, there’s this Ghost The Fragrance Miniature Bauble Eau De Toilette Gift Set for £12 , starring a Ghost The Fragrance in a mini size, alongside a lip oil.

Boots has also reduced their own beauty bauble, down from £20 to £16. The All Hours Luxury Beauty Christmas Bauble contains seven products from brands like Urban Decay, Laneige, It Cosmetics and more.

And we can’t forget about the men in our life, either, with plenty of affordable extras to bulk out the Santa sacks this year. The Nivea Men Totally Soothed Gift Set was originally £20, but is now £10 , starring five sensitive skin-friendly picks. The complete grooming routine is the perfect gift for the man who likes to take care of his skin; containing shaving foam, shower gel, antiperspirant, face wash and creme. Or you could always opt for a trusty Lynx set, like the Epic Fresh Trio on Amazon for £6 - though it does say it may arrive after Christmas.

As for Boots' last order dates, the beloved high-street retailer is offering next-day delivery as late as December 23, meaning shoppers can get deliveries for Christmas Eve. If you're opting for standard home delivery, you'll need to order by Saturday, 21, by 12 p.m. for delivery on Christmas Eve.
