As the days get increasingly colder and the dark nights draw in earlier and earlier, thoughts may inevitably be turning to - dare we say it - Christmas.

The big day is just under four months away now, and for those keen to get ahead, Christmas shopping may even be on your to-do list at the moment.

And rarely is there a more simple, and well-received gift than a reliable Boots beauty gift set. The perfect option for a close colleague, a female relative, or even as a treat for yourself, they're easy to pick up and will no doubt be loved by the recipient.

So for those planning to pick one up this festive season, you may be intrigued to know that Boots have alread released the top 10 beauty gifts on sale in their shops and online.

The high-street giant told You.co.uk which handy little sets are the best of their selection - and to be honest, we can't wait to get our hands on these.

So what are the top 10 beauty gifts at Boots?

Perhaps one of our favourites on the list is the Liz Earle, 'The Supercharged Ritual' collection. For just £27 you get the cult classic Cleanse and Polish, their Superskin Face Serum, and their Skin Tonic, this is a great option for Liz Earle devotees, or those keen to treat their skin to the products for the very first time. This one is perfect for friends, your mum, nan - or anyone really!

Also making it in to the top 10 is the No 7 5 Steps to Radiance gift set. On sale for £16, the box has five products, including the hugely popular Instant Results Nourishing Hydration Mask, which normally sells for £10 on its own.

There's also a night cream and a day cream, plus some handy cleansers, toners, and a hydration mask. A bargain for under £20, we'd say!

A simpler gift set with just two products is this Joules scarf and fragrance gift set, available on the Boots website for £20. Joules' scarves regularly sell for over £30 - so we can't help but think this is a great buy if you're looking to really treat someone.

The fresh, floral fragrance spray would also make for a lovely gift, so you really can't go wrong here.

Also making the list of top 10 Boots beauty gifts is the newly released Niomi Smart set, which is full of 100% vegan beauty products. In yours, you'll find a body lotion, body wash, body mist and spiral handbands.

There's also a Little Mix gift set, a Ted Baker tin, a Jack Wills 'toolbox' toiletries set, a £16 Sleek MakeUP Nude Essentials gift pack.

Skincare and bodycare fans will also be delighted to hear about a new Soap and Glory gift set, for just £12.50. While the brand is perhaps best known for its body lotions and scrubs, it's now launched a range of five sheet masks, all available in this new set.

So will you be picking up any of these for your loved ones this Christmas?
