A skin care gift set that tells a story? Now, that’s something you didn’t know you needed on your Christmas wish list
As the season of giving draws near, most of us find ourselves in a paradox of choice from product launches left and right. Don't fret now as Aesop is offering ‘The Poetry of Place’, a collection of gift kits shaped by the skincare brand’s philosophy of design. Each of the four gift kits represents different Aesop stores as well as the place it is situated in and its culture.

The kits are then offered in boxes made from recycled paper pulp, wrapped in recyclable sleeves, to truly hit home Aesop’s push for sustainability. Found within these kits are guides to the locale of the particular store it represents, offering an insightful read about the architecture and vernacular.
Check out the four kits below:
