Splurge Xmas gift cream suggestions

Castle Forbes is the best cream I have used. I've used the lime and cedarwood/sandalwood. Both were excellent. I hope to get to try the lavender some day.
 
The one Simpson's cream I have used, Vanilla Rose, is wonderful. Great lather, don't smell the vanilla.

Also Cyril R. Salter creams are very good, the two I have used, Almond and Wild Rose. Nicely priced, so you can get two!
 
TOBS has universal appeal.

Proraso also has universal appeal.

My next creams to try are the Stone Cottage Soap Works creams and QCS.
 
shaved today with new St James sandalwood and bergamot. Great cream. Lot like T&H 1805. St James has a 20% promo through tomorrow.

with universal appeal

There are many good creams out there and even several great ones. None of them has universal appeal.

If someone were to gift me a container of:
ABC
T&H Ultimate Comfort or Rose
GFT Violet
Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet or
The Gentleman's Refinery
I would be quite appreciative. All are really nice and present themselves as the splurges that they are.
 
I own MdC and T&H 1805, and I have owned T&H Ultimate Comfort. The T&H creams do not disappoint, and are a good value IMO.
 
In no particular order:

Castle Forbes Lavender
Castle Forbes Sandalwood
Acqua Di Parma
Santa Maria Novella
T&H 1805
D. R. Harris Rose
L'Occitane Cade
