8 Aesop Festive Gift Kits For Every Type Of Personality

This holiday season, Aesop invites us into its home—a whimsical world where scent, design, and ritual take centre stage.
Published: November 11, 2025

Every year, Aesop celebrates the holidays with a story—one that blends art, design and a dash of wit. This year, the theme “From Our Home to Yours” turns the spotlight on the spaces we live in and the rituals that make them ours. It’s a love letter to the beauty of the everyday, to good design, thoughtful gestures, and the quiet joy of giving.

The campaign film brings this to life through a whimsical miniature dollhouse trimmed in brass, where full-sized Aesop favourites become the guests of honour. Each room hums with anticipation as the products fill the space with scent, warmth and personality.

This also marks Aesop’s biggest festive collection to date: Eight gift kits and its first-ever advent calendar. Each kit is beautifully packaged in hues inspired by Le Corbusier’s Architectural Polychromy—colours chosen for how harmoniously they coexist, much like the people who make a home.

Because Aesop knows that no two recipients are alike, every kit has been curated with a certain personality in mind: the generous host, the design lover, the entertainer, the scent enthusiast, and more. Here’s our guide to finding the one that feels just right for every person on your list.

For the Gracious Host

A full house of fragrant essentials, Bathroom Abundance combines Resurrection Aromatique Hand Wash and Balm—a citrus, woody, herbaceous duo that refreshes and nourishes—with the Olous Aromatique Room Spray, an uplifting blend of citrus botanicals. Post-Poo Drops add the final elegant flourish for discreet freshness.

For the Hands-On Helper

Helping Hands is a trio of the brand’s signature balms in a limited-edition 30ml pocket-sized format: Resurrection for bright citrus freshness, Reverence for earthy vetiver and Petitgrain, and Eleos for comforting woody warmth. Together, they hydrate and soften, offering reprieve for the hands that give, craft and create.

For the Nature Lover

Party in the Greenhouse celebrates renewal with its Geranium Leaf trio: A vivifying Body Cleanser, invigorating Body Scrub, and nourishing Body Balm. One of the most beloved scents for the brand, the fresh, vibrant aroma of crushed geranium leaf and citrus makes it perfect for post-revelry rejuvenation.

For the Scent Enthusiast

Shower Room Serenades is a sensorial retreat for the senses. It features the newest member of the body cleansing line, the Eleos Nourishing Body Cleanser, launched this year. This rich cream-based formula thoroughly cleanses while leaving the skin soft and hydrated and smelling like a calming blend of cedar, patchouli, and clove bud. The set also includes the Eleos Aromatique Hand Balm, which wraps the body in a warm, woody, herbaceous scent.
