Boots is giving traditional Christmas crackers a beauty makeover this year, with three new festive treats packed with products from some of the biggest names in skincare and make-up.
Forget paper hats, terrible jokes and miniature screwdrivers...this Christmas you could be pulling a Sol de Janeiro fragrance, a Bobbi Brown moisturiser or an ELEMIS skincare treat out of your cracker instead.
