The full festive collection spans across this skincare brand’s cult-classic buys
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The festive season is fast approaching and lots of exciting advent calendars and gift sets are already appearing. With offerings available from a selection of big names, including Philip Kingsley, Jo Malone, Selfridges, Aldi, Charlotte Tilbury, Missoma and more, this time of year is an ideal excuse to spoil a loved one or even just treat yourself.
Whether you fancy dipping into a brand you’ve not tried before, or have a go-to Christmas gifting favourite, we’re here to help inform your festive purchases. Speaking of preferred picks, Drunk Elephant serves up skincare products we’ve regularly featured in our tried-and-tested expert shopping guides.
So, we were very excited to hear about the brand’s Christmas gift sets that have just launched, showcasing a selection of product offerings and price points. Billed as a biocompatible skincare company, Drunk Elephant focuses on easily absorbable and effective active ingredients promoting healthy pH levels. The brand also firmly believes there are six components – alcohols, silicones, chemical sunscreen, fragrance or dyes and SLS – responsible for nearly every skin concern, so these don’t feature in any products it produces.
The Drunk Elephant holiday collection includes a range of sets, and all incorporate skincare goodies to offer brightening effects. We’re extremely tempted by the sound of these special skin pick-me-up gifts, and have found out more to help you choose between them. They’re presented in signature fun, bright packaging too. Read on for everything we know about Drunk Elephant’s Christmas gift buys.

Drunk Elephant break wake-up haul: £85, Spacenk.com
A morning routine to wake you up during the festive season and beyond, there are four products included within this set. These are the full-sized c-firma fresh day serum, 28ml (£66, Spacenk.com) alongside the smaller 30ml protini polypeptide cream, 8ml protini powerpeptide resurf serum and the taster-sized 5ml c-tango multivitamin eye cream. The latter product featured in our round-up of the best Drunk Elephant buys, where our reviewer praised it as being “incredible for conditioning skin and restoring it to its natural, glowy brightness.” Sounds like those early morning Christmas peepers will be instantly refreshed, no matter how early Santa arrives.
Drunk Elephant a night to remember: £85, Spacenk.com
As the fun name suggestions, you’ll find a full night-time routine in this set. The products included are designed to resurface and rehydrate skin as you sleep, and contents cover T.L.C. framboos glycolic night serum, 30ml (£76, Spacenk.com), 30ml versions of lala retro whipped cream and beste no. 9 jelly cleanser, plus a travel-sized 15ml f-balm electrolyte waterfacial. When party season is in full swing, we’d say your skin will thank you even more for this overnight boost.
Drunk Elephant weekend w/ my baby: £75, Spacenk.com
This complete facial routine encompasses all you’ll need for a festive break. The products include T.L.C. sukari babyfacial, 50ml (£67, Spacenk.com), which we reviewed in a Drunk Elephant vs Ole Henriksen article, where our tester said their “skin felt instantly softer and looked brighter after the first use.” This is high facial praise indeed.
You’ll also unwrap a travel-sized slaai makeup-melting butter cleanser, intensive hydration serum and maretinol oil. A mix of both large and smaller bottles, the combination will make for easier packing too.
Drunk Elephant all protinis great and small: £64, Spacenk.com
As the most affordable buy within the new gifting collection, this set still features a full-sized protini polypeptide cream, 50ml (£57, Spacenk.com) alongside a smaller 30ml protini polypeptide cream. It’s an ideal way to try the brand, or simply top up on your favourites.
