Gatineau and Eleanor Bowmer launch self-care gift set with free five-piece edit

Gatineau made the numbers do the selling here. The Meet Me in Paradise limited-edition set cost £98, carried a stated value of £227, and came with four full-size best-selling products. On orders over £70, shoppers also unlocked a free five-piece edit worth £113, and the promotion was set to run until June 14. For anyone who likes a gift to feel generous the second it is opened, that is a hard combination to ignore.

The set was built around presentation as much as skincare. Gatineau placed the collection in a vibrant wash bag with Eleanor Bowmer’s signature print, which gives it the kind of ready-made polish most beauty bundles never quite manage. The brand aimed the collaboration at healthy, glowing skin, but the packaging and the bonus edit did the real work for gift buyers. Buy the £98 set and the threshold is already cleared, which means the free five-piece gift is not an extra stretch spend so much as a built-in part of the value.

The collaboration also had a clearer identity than the average spa-gift box. Gatineau framed it as a meeting of two female-founded brands with a shared focus on joy, confidence, inspiration and positivity in daily routines. Eleanor Bowmer’s business is rooted in colour, creativity and joy, which explains why this landed more like a lifestyle present than a plain skincare purchase. It felt designed for the person who notices the print on the wash bag before they read the ingredient list.

Gatineau brought proper heritage to the partnership. The skincare company traces its roots to Paris in 1932, when Madame Jeanne Gatineau opened her first salon, and later established the Jeanne Gatineau School of Beauty in Paris in 1950. That history matters because it separates this from a disposable seasonal set: the branding may be cheerful and giftable, but the name behind it has spent decades building its reputation as an age-defying skincare specialist.

This is the kind of self-care present that makes sense for someone who values the whole package: the pretty design, the full-size products, and the extra five-piece edit that makes the spend feel smarter. It is less convincing for a shopper chasing the lowest possible price and more convincing for anyone who wants a gift to look complete the moment it leaves the box.
