Most people get ready in two places: at home in the morning, and somewhere else later in the day, in a car, an office loo or a restaurant with dim lighting. A single mirror only covers one of them. A set covers both, and because each piece does a different job, neither one ends up in a drawer.
This guide is for anyone putting together a Christmas gift for a partner, mum, sister or friend. It explains which two mirrors make a sensible set, what each one does (and does not do), the three checks that stop a gift missing, and how to add a small extra for the stocking. If you are choosing just one mirror for your wife or partner, our guide to Christmas gifts for your wife is the better place to start.
In a hurry? The short answer:
- The main set: ORBIT + COMPACT 2.0, £159.98. A lit dressing-table mirror for home and a lit compact for her bag. Over £150, so standard UK delivery is free.
- Add a stocking filler: the DETANGLER Hair Brush (£14.99), for a set of three at £174.97.
- She travels a lot: ORBIT + ECLIPSE (£169.98). ECLIPSE stands on a hotel desk but does not magnify.
- Smaller budget: COMPACT 2.0 + DETANGLER (£54.98), or ECLIPSE + COMPACT 2.0 (£89.98).
- Make it match: ORBIT and COMPACT 2.0 both come in Chalk Grey, Soft Stone and Espresso Brown.
Quick decision table: which gift set suits her?
| The set | Total | Who it suits | What to check first |
|---|---|---|---|
| ORBIT + COMPACT 2.0 | £159.98, free UK standard delivery | Gets ready at home every morning and touches up on the go | She has room on a dressing table or desk for an 11-inch mirror |
| ORBIT + COMPACT 2.0 + DETANGLER | £174.97, free UK standard delivery | You want one big present and something small for the stocking | As above, plus the brush suits wet or dry hair of any type |
| ORBIT + ECLIPSE | £169.98, free UK standard delivery | Does her full makeup at home and in hotel rooms | ECLIPSE has no magnification; ORBIT's detachable mini mirror is 7x |
| ECLIPSE + COMPACT 2.0 | £89.98 | Travels often, already has a mirror at home | Read our travel gifts for her guide |
| COMPACT 2.0 + DETANGLER | £54.98 | A smaller gift, or a stocking that feels generous | COMPACT 2.0 lights its 1x side; the 7x side is not lit |
⚡ PRO INSIGHT: A gift set only works if each piece has its own job. ORBIT gives her a large, lit view of her whole face at home. COMPACT 2.0 goes everywhere else and adds a 7x close-up. Two mirrors that do the same thing is a duplicate, not a set.
How to build a makeup mirror gift set in 5 steps
1. Think about the two places she gets ready
Start with her day, not the products. Where does she do her makeup or skincare in the morning, and where does she check it later? For most people the answer is a bedroom or bathroom at home, then a handbag mirror somewhere with poor light. That is exactly the gap a home mirror plus a compact fills.
It is also how people tend to buy from us anyway: on our website, COMPACT 2.0 is the most common second purchase after a first mirror. Giving both at once simply saves her the second trip.
2. The home piece: ORBIT
ORBIT (£119.99) is our rechargeable LED vanity mirror for the dressing table, desk or bathroom counter. It has an 11-inch mirror face for full-face routines, three dimmable light modes (warm, neutral white and natural daylight), and a detachable 7x magnifying mini mirror for brows, skincare and other close-up jobs. The mirror rotates between portrait and landscape, and a 4000mAh rechargeable battery keeps it cord-free while she uses it. A USB-C charging cable is included.
It suits the woman who wants better light every morning than her bathroom ceiling gives her. It comes in Phantom Black, Chalk Grey, Soft Stone, Alpine White and the new Espresso Brown. If she reads small print at arm's length these days, our guide to gifts for poor close-up eyesight explains how the 7x mini mirror helps.
3. The handbag piece: COMPACT 2.0
COMPACT 2.0 (£39.99) is a rechargeable LED compact mirror, 5 inches (about 13cm) across, roughly the size of a tea saucer. It opens to a 1x side and a 7x magnified side, with three dimmable light modes and USB-C charging. One thing to know before you give it: the light is on the 1x side, and the 7x side is not lit. It is small enough to live in a handbag all year, so it gets used most days, not just on holiday.
COMPACT 2.0 comes with a travel protection sleeve and a charging cable, in gift-ready packaging. Colours are Matte Black, Rose Gold, Chalk Grey, Soft Stone, Forest Green and Espresso Brown. For a deeper look at handbag mirrors, see our compact mirror guide.

A matching pair
ORBIT and COMPACT 2.0 in the same colour
Choose Chalk Grey, Soft Stone or Espresso Brown for both and the set looks as though it was made to go together. £159.98 for the pair, with free standard UK delivery because it is over £150.
4. The stocking filler: DETANGLER Hair Brush
A set feels more like Christmas when there is something small to open first. The DETANGLER Hair Brush (£14.99) is a lightweight brush with a flexible, dual-layer bristle system designed to work through knots with less pulling. It can be used on wet or dry hair and suits all hair types, including thick, curly, fine and colour-treated hair. It is small enough for a stocking, a gym bag or a travel pouch.
5. Swap a piece if her life calls for it
The ORBIT and COMPACT 2.0 pair suits most people, but two swaps are worth knowing:
- She travels for work or weekends: swap COMPACT 2.0 for ECLIPSE (£49.99), a slim fold-flat travel mirror, 11 x 7.5 inches (about 28 x 19cm), that stands on a hotel desk. ORBIT + ECLIPSE is £169.98. ECLIPSE does not magnify, so it suits full-face makeup rather than close-up work. Our ECLIPSE guide covers how it works.
- She already has a good mirror at home: skip ORBIT and give COMPACT 2.0 with the DETANGLER (£54.98), or ECLIPSE with COMPACT 2.0 (£89.98) if she travels.
Three checks before you wrap it
When a mirror gift goes back, it is usually not because anything is wrong with it. It is because it was not what the person pictured, or not the mirror she wanted. These three checks prevent most of that:
- Magnification. ORBIT's main mirror is a normal 1x view, with a detachable 7x mini mirror for close-up jobs. COMPACT 2.0 has a 1x side and a 7x side. ECLIPSE has none. If she relies on magnification at home now, make sure the set includes it.
- Which side lights up. On COMPACT 2.0 the light is on the 1x side. The 7x side is not lit. Knowing this up front avoids a disappointed "only one side lights up".
- Space. ORBIT has an 11-inch mirror face and stands on its own base, so picture where it will go: a dressing table, a desk or a wide bathroom counter. COMPACT 2.0 is about 13cm across, a handbag mirror rather than a full-face one.
⚡ PRO INSIGHT: Charge both mirrors before you wrap them, so they work the moment she opens them. And keep the packaging and your order confirmation safe: LUNA London's 30-day returns window starts from the date you buy, not from Christmas Day, and items must be unused and in their original packaging.
It is good practice with any gift. Citizens Advice puts it simply: "Check the shop's policy on returns." For things bought online, it adds that "14 days is the absolute minimum cooling-off period that a seller must give you", and some sellers offer longer. You can read their guidance on changing your mind about something you've bought.
When a gift set is not the right choice
A set is generous, but not always better. If she already uses a lit mirror at home and rarely carries a bag, one well-chosen piece is the kinder gift. If she mainly struggles with close-up detail, start with our close-up eyesight gift guide. And if travel is the whole point, the travel gifts for her guide compares ECLIPSE and COMPACT 2.0 side by side.

FAQs
Does the ORBIT and COMPACT 2.0 set qualify for free delivery?
Yes. Together they come to £159.98, and LUNA London's UK standard delivery (3 to 5 business days) is free on orders over £150. Below that, standard delivery is £2.99.
Which side of COMPACT 2.0 lights up?
The 1x side is lit. The 7x magnified side is not. Most people use the lit 1x side for the overall look and the 7x side for close detail such as brows, liner or a stray hair.
What if she already has a mirror, or I choose the wrong one?
LUNA London accepts returns within 30 days of purchase, as long as the item is unused and in its original packaging. The 30 days start from the date you buy, so if you are buying early, keep everything pristine and use the decision table above to check the choice before you wrap it.
Do the mirrors come in gift packaging?
COMPACT 2.0 and ECLIPSE both come in gift-ready packaging with a travel protection sleeve and a charging cable. ORBIT is the larger present of the set, so plan your wrapping around it.
