You get ten travel-size tubes, which is enough to put one in the handbag, one in the glovebox, one at work, one by the bed and still have a few spare.
That scattering is the whole trick. Hand cream only gets used when it’s within reach, and a single large bottle sitting in a bathroom cupboard gets forgotten within a week.
The mix of scents turns reaching for one into a small lucky dip rather than a chore, and it means they’re not committed to a single fragrance they might tire of.
The designs are colourful and genuinely cheerful, which sounds trivial but is part of why these stay out on a desk rather than being put away in a drawer.
Travel size also means they clear airport liquid limits without any thought, so one can live permanently in a carry-on bag ready for the next trip.
It’s an easy Kris Kringle pick because it’s useful to practically everyone and inoffensive to absolutely everyone, which is a harder combination to find than it should be.
It also works beautifully as hamper filler, where you need a few smaller items to bulk out something larger without just adding chocolate.
If you’re buying for someone with sensitive skin, have a look at the scent list before you commit. Ten fragranced creams is wonderful for most people and a problem for anyone with eczema or a fragrance allergy, who’d be better served by one unscented tube.
