If you’re anything like us, there’s at least one person in your life who absolutely can’t get enough of anything and everything beauty-related. You know the type—they're the person who obsesses over the latest hair tool launches, owns 20 different red lipsticks (we get it, not all red shades are created equal), and has a skincare stash that rivals that of a Sephora. When it comes to finding a holiday gift for this friend/family member/S.O. there are tons—and we mean tons—of beauty gifts to choose from.

Static Nails Reusable Pop-On Manicure

Static Nails Reusable Pop-On Manicure

Ulta

Designer press-on nails are having a major moment right now—and are a low-maintenance way to achieve a polished look in minutes. This affordable set is akin to gifting a manicure and even better for the busy bees in your life who have a hard time carving out time in their schedules. Our tester called the final look "very natural and classy" and went gaga over the almond shape. (You can also get sets with rounded and square tips.)

Read Full Review: These Press-On Nails Look Like a Professional Manicure—and They're Insanely Durable

This is a splurge for sure, but trust us—any beauty lover will be beyond thrilled to get a Dyson hot tool. This one, in particular, is worth every penny; yes, the social media hype is real. It essentially acts as a hairbrush, curling iron, hot air brush, and more, offering an option for every hair type and texture. If budget isn’t an issue, or you really want to treat someone to a super special gift, this is it.

Bath & Body Works Aromatherapy Eucalyptus Spearmint Gift Bag Set

Bath & Body Works Aromatherapy Eucalyptus Spearmint Gift Bag Set

Bath & Body Works

Definitely don’t sleep on Bath & Body Works scents—they smell incredibly luxe while still being incredibly affordable. The Eucalyptus and Spearmint fragrance is one of our favorite evergreen scents to enjoy year-round, and in this set available only during the holiday season, you’ll get a candle, body wash, body lotion, and essential oil mist in a super giftable box. 

L'Occitane Almond Softening Body Wash and Cream Trio

Sephora L'Occitane Almond Softening Body Wash and Cream Trio

Sephora

L’Occitane’s almond fragrance is one of the popular scents of the year (it’s rich and sweet without feeling artificial or overwhelming). So if you know someone who discovered the magic of the brand’s TikTok-viral Shower Oil this year, they’re going to love this trio. The Holiday Almond Trio features a full-size Shower Oil, plus a Hand Cream and Milk Concentrate for their softest skin ever. 

We think the best kind of gift is something you covet but might not buy for yourself. This hair removal device is a perfect splurge—and our hands-down best overall pick for at-home lasers. Recommended by the Skin Health Alliance and cleared by the FDA, it utilizes a technology called SensoAdapt that adjusts the flash intensity for your skin tone as you’re using it—making it suitable for use on most skin tones. Plus, when we tested the best at-home hair removal devices, this was one of our top contenders.

Sephora Favorites Holiday Lip Kit

Sephora Favorites Holiday Lip Kit

Sephora

For makeup enthusiasts, you can never go wrong with a fresh lip product. And this Sephora kit features seven new lip products in gorgeous, pinky nudes (including picks from Tarte, Glossier, Pat McGrath, Charlotte Tilbury, and Huda Beauty). 

Our editors love the original NuFace for its lifting, sculpting, and toning superpowers, and the brand recently launched a travel-friendly, miniature version of the beloved-device that’s just as powerful. In this set, you get the Mini in your choice of colorway, two microcurrent stimulating skincare products to be used as a priming gel for your NuFace, plus an application brush. This is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser for any skincare lover. 

Shay Mitchell’s travel brand Beis continues to churn out oddly-satisfying, organization-focused products that you never knew you needed—until you try them. The Cosmetics Case is a favorite among Byrdie editors and ranked in the top spot when we tested out the best cosmetics cases. We love its roomy construction, that it comes with a handy travel mirror, lays flat so you can easily find what you need, and is easy to clean. 

Silk pillowcases—which help minimize friction on both your skin and hair—are admittedly a dime a dozen these days, but we come back to this cult classic time and time again. It’s a universal fan favorite beauty gift that’s sure to please. While it’s pricier than many others, the quality is unparalleled, made of high-grade mulberry silk that washes extremely well. We also like that it comes in 10 color ways and with both envelope and zipper closures.

Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream

Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream

Amazon

Call it the crème de la crème of body creams. This pick consistently ranks as a favorite amongst team Byrdie and our product testers. It’s an indulgent, rich, and hydrating all-over body treatment with an intoxicating scent. Plus, its price point is gifting perfection.

Chances are, Therabody’s Theragun is already on your radar. But the Therafacce—a smaller version of the tool with attachments for facial massage, microcurrent, and light therapy—is equally as covetable. 

Charlotte Tilbury Beautifing Lip & Cheek Set

Sephora Charlotte Tilbury Beautifing Lip & Cheek Set

Sephora

Charlotte Tilbury has never launched a Pillow Talk product we didn’t fall in love with. So fortunately, you can get all the greatest hits in the brand’s Pillow Talk Lip & Cheek Secrets set. The kit makes for a great makeup gift. It includes a blush-highlighter duo wand, lipstick and lip liner, and a moisturizing lip gloss, all in the brand’s famous pink shade.

We’re calling it—this is the palette launch of the year. Tarte’s Maneater After Dark palette features a range of 24 richly-pigmented shades to carry you well through fall, winter, spring, and beyond. From warm tapiochas to cool-toned mauves, there’s something for everyone to play with, here. 

Nécessaire The Body Essentials

Nécessaire The Body Essentials Set

Nécessaire

These may be essentials, but they’re certainly anything but basic. Stock their bathroom with everything they need for smooth, hydrated skin. This trio comes with full-sized versions of the brand’s beloved lotion, scrub, and wash—the latter two of which you can select in one of three different scents: sandalwood, eucalyptus, and bergamot.

Drunk Elephant Day Dazzle Kit

Sephora Drunk Elephant Day Dazzle Kit

Sephora

Drunk Elephant has long been popular for its clean, efficacious, biocompatible—meaning you can mix any of its products together to create a skincare “smoothie”—products, but the brand had a particularly good year in terms of TikTok virality. The Day Dazzle Kit features a few of the brand’s best-selling SKUs for glowy skin, including full-sizes of the Protini Polypeptide Moisturizing Cream and Powerpeptide Resurf Serum, plus travel sizes of the D-Bronzi Drops and C-Firma Fresh Serum

Benefit Cosmetics The POREfessional Deep Retreat Mask

Benefit Cosmetics The POREfessional Deep Retreat Pore-Clearing Kaolin Clay Mask

Benefit Cosmetics

This hydrating clay mask from Benefit is everything we dreamed it would be and more. The mineral-rich kaolin clay, sea fennel extract, and oils in this mask work to leave your skin matte for up to 12 hours. Additionally, initial skin hydration is maintained thanks to jojoba seed oil, plum kernel oil, essential fatty acids, and ceramide-like molecules. Get one for them and one for you! 

Droplette Micro-Infuser

Read Full Review: Droplette's Needle-Free Device Makes Skincare Ingredients Work Harder

Quick biology lesson: Your skin’s intended function is to keep things out, which is great and all until you’re trying to get serums and lotions and active ingredients into your skin. Enter Droplette, a device that hardcore skincare lovers will go crazy for. It harnesses the power of physics, emitting a micro-fine mist of serum droplets that actually get smaller once they hit your skin, managing to penetrate the skin barrier for faster, better results. (FYI, you do have to use one of the brand’s proprietary serum capsules, though there are several formulas to choose from.)

FaceGym Faceshot Vitamin Ampoules Refill

FaceGym Faceshot Vitamin Ampoules Refill
FaceGym Faceshot Vitamin Ampoules Refill.

FaceGyM

This cutting-edge, high-end beauty tool uses a combination of active ingredients and gentle collagen induction therapy to promote radiant, revitalized skin. The Faceshot from FaceGym is a combination microneedling and serum treatment that provides a mild yet noticeable peel. Vitamin F and glycolic acid are included when purchasing the device to generate a soothing and immune response at the cellular level, thereby reducing inflammation and soothing the skin.

Too Faced Sexy Lips and Lashes

Too Faced Sexy Lips and Lashes

Too Faced

Too Faced’s Better Than Sex Mascara has been the best-selling prestige mascara for years, and for good reason. The lengthening, volumizing formula transforms even the shortest, sparsest of lashes into a look that rivals falsies. And now, you can get the mascara alongside Too Faced’s equally-iconic Lip Injections Lip Plumping Gloss for $42 (both full-size, to boot).

You’ve probably seen Instagram ads for SolaWave’s viral Advanced Skincare Wand, but the brand’s LED spot treatment for acne is the latest innovation catching our eye. The Bye Acne Spot Treatment harnesses the power of blue light to kill acne-causing bacteria and calm inflammation to bring that pimple down faster. 

Tatcha Mini Favorites Set

Tatcha Mini Favorites Set

Sephora

This skincare set from Tatcha is perfect for dry skin because it provides a double dose of hydration. Get silky smooth skin quickly with a moisturizer, serum, and softening cleanser formulated with potent Japanese ingredients. Anyone can mix and match formulas in the six-piece mini set of the brand's best-selling products to find their ideal skincare ritual.

Pangea Organics Superfood Smoothie Mask

pangea superfood smoothie mask

Pangea

This aptly-named pick does, in fact, tout ingredients that sound more like they belong in an Erewhon smoothie than in a skincare staple—think matcha, acai, goji berry, seaweed powder, and more. The formula gently exfoliates and delivers a ton of antioxidants, leaving your complexion smoother and brighter in just 15 minutes. And we’d be remiss not to mention the entirely plastic-free aluminum packaging, which also has the added benefit of upping the sophistication/giftable factor.

Shani Darden by Déesse PR LED Light Mask

Shani Darden by Déesse PRO LED Light Mask

Sephora

There’s admittedly a little sticker shock associated with this mask, but it really is worth the price for those willing to splurge. Inspired by Darden’s go-to LED treatments that she uses as part of her sought-after facials (on Hollywood A-listers such as Kristen Stewart and Jessica Alba, NBD), this is a new and improved version of her original at-home mask. It features 237 LED lights, a mix of red, blue, and infrared wavelengths that help do everything from improving the look of fine lines and wrinkles to addressing acne. It now comes with a neck attachment and silicone eye inserts and works in just 10 minutes.

Sephora Collection Brush Set

Sephora Collection Ready to Roll Brush Set

Sephora

A quality brush set is one of those products a makeup lover will use every single day. This set from Sephora Collection includes nine brushes with velvety, densely-packed bristles for smooth, blended makeup every time. 

Prada Paradoxe 2-Piece gift Set

Ulta Prada Paradoxe 2-Piece gift Set

Ulta

Prada Paradoxe is the official it-girl scent of TikTok. Iconic (and surprisingly playful) Prada triangle packaging aside, this is a warm, floral fragrance with subtle notes of amber. The end result is a fresh, simple scent portfolio that’s sure to please any fragrance collector. 

54 Thrones Comorian Ylang Ylang + Egyptian Orange Blossom Beauty Butter

We know, we know, hand cream may not initially sound like the most exciting gift, but wait until you try this formula. Sweet, sultry, and floral, this ylang-ylang and orange blossom scented shea butter cream not only smells like a dream, but it’s also brimming in plant oils and butters for a formula that’s supremely nourishing. It did earn itself the title of best hand cream in our 2021 Eco Awards, after all.

Nailmatic Lab DIY Kit

Nailmatic Lab DIY Kit

Nailmatic

For those who aren't satisfied painting their own nails, this kit is a step up. Yes, you can paint your own nails, but after you follow one of the 20 included formulas to create five polishes in different metallic and red hues. TL;DR, it’s like a grown-up science experiment for beauty lovers.

Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Crush Cheirosa

Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Crush Cheirosa 62 Bum Bum Hair & Body Fragrance Mist

Sephora

With notes of salted caramel, pistachio, and vanilla, this lightweight hair and body mist has been called addictive. Ideal for layering or spritzing on lingerie or PJs, this perfume alternative is literally one of the sweetest beauty gifts out there.

This 3-in-1 lip treatment has gained a cult following, and for good reason. It nourishes and protects the lips while imparting gorgeous shine with a sheer tint. Best of all? It comes in one universally flattering hue, so you don’t need to stress over picking the right shade.

Hermes Rouge Lip Set

Hermes Rouge Lip Set

Hermes

We all know an Hermès loyalist (hi, it’s me), and I promise they will absolutely flip for this lip trio. And while the packaging alone makes this set a collector’s item, the lip formulas are also such a treat to wear. This particular set features the Lip Care Balm, Rosy Lip Enhancer (for a natural pink flush), and the Satin Lipstick in Rose Epice. 

Klur Supreme Seed Delicate Purification Mask

Credo Beauty Supreme Seed Purification Mask

Credo Beauty

This luxe face mask makes a chic addition to anyone’s medicine cabinet. Brimming with nourishing antioxidants and plant extracts, it works to restore fragile and stressed skin while gently drawing out impurities to decongest and refine. It also contains a litany of soothing ingredients, leaving the complexion smoother, brighter, and glowier. 

Suitable for all hair types and textures, this silicone-free hair oil leaves the hair supremely soft, smooth, and glossy without ever looking or feeling greasy. Kakadu plums and safflower oils deeply nourish the hair, while triglycerides impart lightweight shine and silkiness. Plus, the packaging is so pretty that any beauty lover would proudly keep this one on display. The best-seller now comes in a mini size that’s great as a stocking stuffer or for any beauty lover who’s always on the go.

Sisley Paris Black Rose Collection

Sisley Paris Black Rose Collection

Sisley Paris

Looking for a moment to splurge? You can never go wrong with Sisley Paris, and this Black Rose gift set featuring the brand’s cult-favorite Black Rose Cream Mask, Black Rose Skin Infusion Cream, and Black Rose Eye Contour Fluid is sure to stun any recipient.

Blowout queens will go gaga for this tool, which gives standard hot air brushes a serious upgrade. The interchangeable design has two attachments (round and paddle-shaped), allowing you to create every kind of blowout. Also noteworthy: Fifteen different heat and speed settings and a negative ion generator help keep hair sleek. Consider pairing with a top-ranking hair cream from our best heat protectants for your hair test.

111 Skin Eye Lift Edit

111 Skin Eye Lift Edit

111 Skin

For a loved one who’s always going back and forth on eye filler, this 111 Skin set is guaranteed to thrill. Founded by a plastic surgeon, 111 Skin is a luxury brand with a clinical focus, and is beloved by celebrities like Sydney Sweeney and Victoria Beckham. The brand’s Eye Lift Edit features four pairs of its iconic under-eye gels, plus a full-size bottle of the new Botox-mimicking Eye Lift Gel

We’re all for sets that contain dozens and dozens of makeup brushes, but let’s be real—are you really going to take that with you wherever you go? Here, you get just a trio of the most often reached-for brushes—an angled face brush and two shadow brushes—in travel-friendly sizes and a convenient carrying tin.

Mutha Body Glow Up Set

Mutha Body Like a Mutha Set Set

Mutha

There’s no shortage of Byrdie editors who love anything and everything that Mutha comes out with. This features two of the OG products that caught our eye: the creamy body butter and incredible body oil. Both are great picks for anyone who's pregnant and looking for products to use on stretch marks, too. There’s also a body contouring serum and dry brush, which can be used individually or together.

Guerlain Customizable Lipstick Case

Guerlain Customizable Lipstick Case

Nordstrom

If you know a lipstick lover who owns every shade imaginable, this is the one thing they probably don’t have. This Guerlain lipstick case elevates any lipstick and contains a built-in mirror for easy application on the go. Turn it into a personalized beauty gift with a special engraving of up to 15 characters.

CurrentBody Skin LED Light Therapy Mask

CurrentBody Skin LED Light Therapy Mask

Amazon

Light therapy is nothing new, but it’s gaining traction among younger shoppers who are discovering light masks from TikTok dermatologists. LED masks like this luxe Current Body option can treat a range of skin concerns, including blue light for killing acne-causing bacteria and red light for collagen stimulation. There are dozens of options on the market, but the Current Body mask is particularly trendy among Parisians (it appeared on an episode of “Emily In Paris” last season) and is incredibly comfortable to wear compared to its competitors. 

We have yet to meet someone who doesn’t need an extra pack of hair ties in their life, particularly when it’s these. A seriously upgraded version of the basic, they’re firm yet flexible, holding strands in place without excessive pulling that can lead to headaches (and hair breakage). The spiral shape negates the likelihood of creases, and they come in two sizes, small for thin to medium thick hair and large for thick to extra thick. Most importantly, they’re super cute, no matter whether they’re worn in your hair or on your wrist.

Babor Ampoule Serum Concentrates

Serum Concentrates

Babor

Being impatient and being a skincare junkie can pose a tough conundrum. After all, most legit skincare products can take weeks, if not months, to deliver results. Enter these new serums, a quick complexion fix that works in, wait for it, just seven days. It’s why there are only seven single-dose ampoules in each pack—it’s all you need to give your skin a major boost. There are 10 different formulas to address an array of different needs and concerns, but when in doubt, opt for Hydra Fix, a super hydrating option that will leave anyone looking fresh and glowing.

Jamie Makeup The Bloss

The Bloss

Jamie Makeup

Celeb makeup artist Jamie Greenberg—who works with the likes of Kaley Cuoco and Rashida Jones—created this hybrid lippie to marry the best attributes of a balm and a gloss (in case you couldn’t tell by the name). Indeed, it delivers tons of hydration, the perfect amount of non-sticky sheen, and an ideal kiss of color. To that point, there are pink, nude, and red hues available, as well as a clear variant.

Shielded Beauty Face the Day Purifying Mist

Shielded Face Mist

Shielded

Think of this as the skincare equivalent of that 3 pm iced coffee; it’s the perfect pick-me-up when your complexion needs a little extra TLC. A proprietary combo of ingredients (silver citrate, zeolite, citric acid) offers natural antimicrobial protection, while marigold extract soothes irritation and sodium PCA hydrates. In short, it helps protect skin from pollution, imparts the perfect amount of moisture, and generally leaves you looking glowy and radiant. Plus, it works equally well under or over makeup.

Maskee Beauty Device

Maskee

Maskee

While this may give off bank robber-esque vibes initially, it’s actually one of the more genius beauty gadgets we’ve seen as of late. Simply pop it on over your head—it both prevents makeup from getting on your clothing and keeps clothing from messing up your makeup. File under, "why didn’t we think of that?" and then check out these other really practical beauty gift ideas.

marocMaroc Roses de Sucre Nourishing Body Cream

Roses de Sucre

marocMaroc

This luxurious body butter feels velvety and rich, so much more special than your average body lotion. It combines the scents of two types of rose for a final fragrance that’s floral in the best way possible (not grandma-smelling rose, if you know what we mean). The icing on the cake? The subtle pink hue makes it a truly legit upgrade from other body creams.

BeautyStat Universal Triple Action Daily Peel

BeautyStat Daily Peel

Ulta

When a cosmetic chemist comes out with a skincare line, you can feel fairly confident that it’s going to feature only the most legit of ingredients and formulations. Indeed, that’s exactly the case here. Any skincare aficionado is sure to go nuts for these exfoliating peel pads, which rely on alpha and beta hydroxy acids to brighten and smooth skin but are still gentle enough that they can be used daily.

Sleepy Tie Hair Tie

Sleepy Tie

Sleepy Tie

As the name suggests, this is a unique hair tie designed especially for bedtime. A must-have for blowout queens, this combines a satin-covered scrunchie with an arched shape that prevents creases, maintains volume and smoothness, and keeps tangles at bay. Also nice: It’s effective for all hair types and textures, so long as the hair is at least a few inches past shoulder length.

Phlur Missing Person Eau De Parfum

Phlur Perfume

Phlur

You may have seen this viral fragrance all over TikTok, with users saying that it does indeed evoke nostalgic emotions and thoughts of people they miss. We can’t guarantee your giftee will have the same experience, but the subtle floral mask (which combines notes of bergamot, neroli, and sandalwood, to name a few) is a surprisingly universal and foolproof fragrance gift. Bonus points for the brand’s use of sustainable ingredients and packaging.

Yves Saint Laurent The Bold High Pigment Lipstick

Yves Saint Laurent The Bold High Pigment Lipstick

Yves Saint Laurent

Consider this the perfect gift for anyone who is never without lipstick. Super pigmented, it packs a punch of color in just one swipe and has a satin finish that offers just the right amount of shine. Still, despite how bold it is, it still feels amazing on lips, thanks to ingredients such as grape seed oil that keep your pout moisturized for up to 10 hours. It comes in a nice line-up of 12 shades, offering a little something for everyone, and the packaging is so high-end that you won’t even have to wrap it.

Joanna Vargas Glow To Go Mask Set

GLOW TO GO MASK SET

Joanna Vargas

Not everyone can get in to see this celebrity esthetician (who treats Hollywood stars such as Mandy Moore and Mindy Kaling), but this mask set from her eponymous skincare line is the next best thing. It comes with five sheet masks to address any and every complexion concern; give the set as one gift, or split it up into five individual ones.

Dry brushing has exploded in popularity this year as people continue to tout the tool for its lymphatic drainage powers. The jury is still out on efficacy, but it definitely feels amazing to take the time for yourself—especially when you’re using a luxe marble tool like this paddle brush from Gilded Body. 

Stoney Clover Lane Customizable Makeup Bag

Stoney Clover Lane Customizable Makeup Bag

Stoney Clover Lane

Anything monogrammed makes it feel like you really put time and effort into a gift. Go for something classic like your loved one’s initials, or something cheeky à la the ironic Boat and Tote trend.

Ballet-inspired beauty dominated Fashion Week this year, which means we’ll be seeing more bows, rosettes, and sleek ballerina buns into 2024. One designer at the helm of the trend is Sandy Liang, who has created this sculptural hair bow with a pink, satin rosette. It’s the perfect accessory to give your loved one who loves to be on the forefront of trends.

The NanoSteamer's ionic channeling technology enhances the efficacy of skincare products like serums and masks. In addition to the humidifier and skin kit, this set also features a warming chamber for towels, making it easier to remove your makeup. The stainless steel skin kit also has a setting to remove blackheads from the skin.

Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara in Chocolate

Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara in Chocolate

Brown mascara, which gives the illusion of thicker, fuller lashes without the spidery effect, has become a popular beauty trend on TikTok. The brand has given the newest member of Too Faced's "Better Than Sex" collection, "Chocolate," a strong hip-hop aesthetic from the 1990s. Prepare to say hello to luscious, defined, and stretched to unbelievable length lashes that are intense, oversized, and multidimensional thanks to the peptide conditioning.

It's flattering on a wide range of complexions, and its neutral tones make it easy to pull off a versatile eyeshadow look. Additionally, the neutral and shimmer stacks are conveniently compact and portable, making them ideal for a weekend getaway or a staple for anyone’s makeup bag.

The stone features a smooth edge for lymphatic drainage, a textured edge for collagen stimulation, a contour for sculpting around the cheeks and jaw bones, and an ergonomic handle that doubles as a pressure point stimulator.
