CHARLY & DR. BARBARA STURM'S HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE
25th Oct 2024
The holiday season, although we know it’s coming, always seems to creep up faster than anticipated. Somehow each year we find ourselves on a desperate search for the perfect gift, sometimes just days before we exchange them with our loved ones. To make the gift giving process easier, Team Sturm have compiled a list of our favorite gifts from Dr. Barbara Sturm and more - just in time for the holidays.
Beauty & Cosmetics
Anastasia Beverly Hills: Eyebrow Kit
Anastasia Soare is widely known as the expert when it comes to high quality eyebrow shaping, defining and filling. Besides offering her services in Los Angeles, she has also created a range of makeup and of course, eyebrow products. We recommend the ‘Perfect Your Brows Kit’ from Anastasia’s collection as a gift for the beauty fanatic on your list.
Jillian Dempsey: Lid Tints & Gold Bar
At Sturm we love and support natural skin and recommend using minimum amounts of makeup. That’s why Jillian Dempsey eye tints are one of our favorites for when we need a little glam. For any makeup lover, these make a special gift. Alternatively her renowned ‘Gold Bar’ helps lift, contour and improve puffy skin and makes a lovely present for any beauty lover.

Dr. Barbara Sturm
THE EDIT is a beautiful gift for any skincare lover. It includes a full sized HYALURONIC SERUM, a mini NIGHT SERUM and the FACE CREAM. This trio of Dr. Barbara Sturm’s must-haves for hydration, skin health and anti-aging come in a red velvet travel bag that doubles as a clutch or vanity kit. If you’re looking for a gift for someone who is in need of a little pampering, this is your go-to.
For a universally lovable gift from our collection, we suggest the 500ml ANTI-AGING BODY CREAM. There’s something comforting and luxurious about coming home to a fully stocked bathroom, which is why the 500ml size of the cream makes a wonderful gift. This is a product that lasts while also looking aesthetic in any minimalist’s bathroom and makes for a great house-warming gift.
The LIP BALM makes for a budget-friendly, practical gift for any Dr. Barbara Sturm lover. The LIP BALM was carefully formulated over three years and made without mineral oils or other harmful ingredients. You simply can’t go wrong with this one and it is perfect for the colder months where our lips are drier.
THE WINTER KIT houses all of your winter skin essentials in one, charming little bag. For anyone who is planning on spending this winter in the mountains or colder climates, this kit will suit their skin’s needs and impart a healthy glow.
If you are looking to get any men on your gift list started on a proper skincare regimen or know a man who is obsessed with skincare, the MEN’S DISCOVERY KIT contains the perfect routine. The steps are easy to follow and the products come in practical travel sizes.
Lastly, we now also offer gift cards for FACETIME CONSULTATIONS with one of our trained aestheticians. For anyone either struggling with their skin or in need of help finding the right skincare routine, this makes a unique and incredibly helpful gift.
Clothing & Accessories
Naked Cashmere
Naked Cashmere is a favorite of Dr. Barbara Sturm’s and the ultimate cashmere label when it comes to coziness. The designs are comfortable, made of high quality materials and are chic for wearing at home as well as on-the-go. Naked Cashmere also offers customized embroidery to specific pieces, giving a personalised touch to your selection. Their scarves or blankets make a more luxurious gift, while their socks and beanies are a more budget-friendly option. For men, we highly recommend one of the oversized cashmere hoodies.

For any book worm, this is one of Dr. Barbara Sturm’s favorites. A book description, taken from Amazon explains: “Freedom from the Known is one of Krishnamurti's most accessible works. Here, he reveals how we can free ourselves radically and immediately from the tyranny of the expected. By changing ourselves, we can alter the structure of society and our relationships. The vital need for change and the recognition of its very possibility form an essential part of this important book's message.”
