Christmas always brings a flurry of great offers in the UAE’s many shopping outlets, spas and sports clubs.
To create the ideal gift for those looking for something different and indulgent, Amara spa at the Hyatt Dubai has teamed up with Carita, Shiffa and Aromatherapy Associates to offer Christmas gifts that feature premium signature products.
With every purchase of Carita’s “Pearl of Youth” face cream (pictured), you will receive a complimentary 15ml jar of Pearl of Youth Neck and Decolletage Cream. Carita’s “Pearl of Youth” face cream is a precious anti-ageing skincare product that firms, tones and smoothes the skin, making it look as if it has been lifted, while helping to protect it from environmental factors that contribute to ageing. Day after day, winkles are softened and the skin is left visibly smoother and firmer, remodeling the face so that it regains its youthful contours. A beautiful silver pearl-shaped box makes this the most decadent and wonderful gift. Price: Dhs570.
Meaning “healing” in ancient Arabic, Shiffa is a luxury organic body and skin care line. Its exquisite therapies reflect ancient Arabian beauty philosophies with the use of pure and precious oils.
Shiffa offers a wide selection of rituals from the spa menu that can be purchased as gift vouchers; alternatively, beautiful gift sets are available as the perfect Christmas gift for the spa connoisseur.
Essential oils are derived from organically grown plants, where possible using traditional methods, thereby avoiding the use of chemical pesticides or herbicides. All products contain high levels of natural, active ingredients and are GM-free, with no added colour or mineral oils that might inhibit full absorption. Aromatherapy Associates offers two enchanting Christmas candle gift sets, as well as an energising and nourishing Weekender Gift Set.
The first gift set contains three enchanting Rose and Ginger candles (pictured) that will create an alluring atmosphere with their shimmering blend of ingredients. The warm and exotic trio of natural wax candles is sure to tantalise the senses. Set in frosted glass and presented elegantly in a pink and gold box, these are the ideal Christmas gift. rice: Dhs265.

Finally, there’s the Weekender Gift Set, a beautifully-presented gift set that is easy to travel with, this is a perfect Christmas gift for the frequent traveller, or even one who enjoys a weekend away.
