A somewhat newer tradition of giving and receiving Halloween gifts has been growing in recent years. Research has even shown that people in the UK are more interested in the seasonal event of Halloween than Christmas!
Here in Ireland, Halloween has always been a bit of a thing – after all, we did invent it. The roots of Halloween can be traced back 2,000 years to the Celtic Samhain festival. This celebrates the end of summer, the harvest season, and the beginning of winter. Have you ever bought the special lady in your life a Halloween gift? Or your Mum, sister or a friend?
Surprise her with a little gift this Halloween.



Why Give Her a Halloween Gift?
With the already noticeable change in the weather to chillier mornings and dark nights which some people may love, there are others, particularly women, who are less fond of fall and the cold winter days that follow. In these autumn and winter months less sunlight and shorter daylight hours mean that we get up in the dark and darkness has descended again long before we make it back into our beds!
Seasonal Affective Disorder – aka SAD – is a condition that is more commonly experienced at this time of year. It is thought to be triggered by changes in sunlight exposure. This can negatively affect our body’s circadian rhythms and serotonin levels which influence mood. And did you know that women are four times more likely to be diagnosed with SAD than men.
Think about interrupted sleep, daytime fatigue and just generally feeling a bit less bubbly and cheerful than usual. Well, cheering her up with a surprise Halloween gift sounds like a fairly good idea right now, doesn’t it!
What Type of Halloween Gift Would She Like?
Halloween scented candles and home décor gifts. Chocolate and food treats. A personalised mug for her hot chocolate or a nicely spiced wine. Cosy winter clothing. And yes, you’ve guessed it, pampering products! Bath bombs, body care sets and skincare products are also high up on the list of perfect gifts for her and not just at Halloween, but all year round.
Skincare products are a great gift choice for ladies. After all, what woman doesn’t want glowing and youthful skin that makes her feel beautiful and confident, particularly at a time of year when she might feel a bit more down that usual. Our Bragan Skincare Halloween Gift Box (or any of our cosmetic or healing creams) make a really unique Halloween Gift because they come with a secret ingredient, fitting for the ‘spooky season’ – snail slime – otherwise known as snail mucin.
Don’t Let Snail Mucin Spook You
We understand that wearing snail slime may seem a bit gross to those who are new to snail mucin products but many women, and men, not to mention the crème de la crème of screen and stage such as Katie Holmes, Debra Messing and Drew Barrymore are embracing the humble snail. Once tried, our little tentacled friends will seem a lot less creepy and much more angelic come Christmas time.
Skincare products made with snail mucin have gained in popularity due to their ability to hydrate and heal the skin. In addition to hydrated, glowing, and youthful skin, our products have huge benefits for people who suffer from skin conditions. From dry skin and chapped lips to eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, and even restless legs syndrome, we have a cream for you.
The Science Behind Snail Mucin For Skincare
Snail mucin’s effectiveness is attributed to the rich mix of healthy proteins and acids it is composed of. These include:
- Glycoproteins. These aid skin regeneration and repair by promoting collagen production. This improves skin elasticity and reduces wrinkles.
- Hyaluronic Acid. A powerful humectant that draws moisture into the skin, keeping it hydrated and plump.
- Glycolic Acid. A natural exfoliant that helps to remove dead skin cells, brighten the skin, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and pigmentation.
- Allantoin. Known for its soothing and healing properties. This helps to calm irritated skin and promotes wound healing.
Healthy proteins and acids naturally secreted by snails protect their delicate skin and repair injuries. They offer similar benefits when applied to human skin. At Bragan Skincare, we have embraced the humble snail and infused its mucin into our moisturising, anti-aging, skin-repair and healing products. Buy a special lady a Halloween Gift. Our little box of treats is sure to drive away the winter blues and put you in her ‘good books’. It contains a body cream, face cleanser, face cream, and hand cream – everything she needs for glowing skin from head to toe.
