Boots Beauty Icons 2026 are back, and they’ve become one of our favourite small rituals of the run-up to Christmas. Each week, Boots fills a makeup bag with the best of a single brand, prices it at £35 and lets it go once it’s gone. Think of each one as a small Boots beauty box built around one brand: a proper introduction, in a bag you’ll keep using long after the products run out.
We add every drop here as it lands, with everything inside, what Boots says each set is worth and who it suits, so this is the one page to bookmark if you’re gathering Boots gift sets for Christmas.
