Good hand cream for a Christmas gift?

[AllYoursBabooshka]

Just trying to sort out what to get my lovely MIL for Christmas.

I know she likes her hand creams but would rarely get anything "nice" for herself unless it was on a really good offer so was thinking of getting her some as part of her gift this year.

If anyone has any ideas it would be a big help.

Thanks! :)

L'occitaine almond one is lovely but I had a bad experience with their honey one, it smelled gorgeous for a couple of hours but then took on a rank cat pee odour :(

Jersey Cow. Hands down has been the best hand cream purchase ever. Has visibly changed horsey dog walking lead holding hands - brilliant.

Molton brown naranjii - gorgeous and soothing

I treat myself to the Clarins one, i find the L'occitaine a little greasy. i also love the Soap and Glory range. :-)

Clarins one is my favourite one as well

Clarins- the occitane ones are lovely, Clarins moisturises more. Do get the Marie Claire for you/ stockings though!

Aveda- FAB FAB FAB

Loccitaine butter or opi mini hand creams are fab in handbag

L'occitane honey or Crabtree and Evelyn hand therapy La Source

My favourite for actual moisturising and relieving that "dry" skin feeling is Clarins, it seems to be the most effective cream I've tried for my skin (dry, mildly sensitive, 40ish skin). A little goes a very long way.

I love the smell of Crabtree & Evelyn la source and it is a good one too.

Soap and glory are funky packaging and quite effective, but a few hours later feel I need more on.

Neutrogenia Norwegian is also very effective but isn't very "gifty" looking.

L'occitaine irritated my skin, sorry. Too heavy, too scented.

Hope you find something that suits her just right!

Clarins

L'Occitane

Aveda Hand Relief (snigger)

I've heard the Body Shop hemp one is good, and have bought it for someone on request, but have not tried it myself.

Neals Yard also do an intensive hand treatment cream which I am tempted to try, I trust their products so much. I also want to try La Source by C&E as well, heard good things about them.
