When shopping for a beauty gift this season, Sephora's got plenty of options in all sizes and budgets from stocking stuffers to jam-packed beauty sets. And, what better time than the holidays to treat a loved one to something you know they'd love and that they may not splurge on for themselves?

Whether they're more into a Tatcha kit with a whole new self-care ritual inside, or prefer a Christian Louboutin nail polish that's almost too pretty to use, this list has something for them. We picked out beauty present ideas from iconic labels including Gucci, Dior, Burberry, and Chanel, along with skin-care treats from luxe beauty brands like Dr. Barbara Sturm, La Mer, and more.

Read on for the indulgent beauty gifts that are worth every single penny.

Christian Louboutin Rouge Louboutin Nail Polish

Is there a more stunning bottle of nail polish than this Christian Louboutin Rouge Louboutin Nail Polish ($50)? It seems unlikely . . . and the rich red shade on the inside is just as standout, too.

Tatcha Special-Edition Luxury Kiri

This Tatcha Special-Edition Luxury Kiri ($315) is a seven-step, self-care ritual that makes a great introduction to the brand or can be used for a total routine overhaul. Each of the products feature pure Japanese botanicals, and work together to protect and nurture skin.

Dior Backstage Glow Face Palette

This top-rated Dior Backstage Glow Face Palette ($45) brings a glow with four complementary highlighter hues in the same formulas used at fashion-week runway shows.

Chanel Chance Eau Vive Foaming Shower Gel

When feeling sluggish in the mornings, the bold grapefruit, blood orange, and jasmine in this bubbly Chanel Chance Eau Vive Foaming Shower Gel ($55) will invigorate and leave skin feeling soft and smelling fresh.

Gucci Rouge à Lèvres Lunaison Glitter Lipstick

All three shades of this new Gucci Rouge à Lèvres Lunaison Glitter Lipstick ($46) pack sparkling pearls inside a glittery formula, so lips can sparkle this holiday season from near or far (like over Zoom).

La Mer The Treatment Lotion

While their iconic moisturizer gets the most buzz, this La Mer The Treatment Lotion ($115-$165) helps that (and other La Mer products) work even better when applied first.

Heretic Dirty Gingerbread Candle

They don't even need to bake to make their home smell like burnt sugar, spicy ginger, and sweet vanilla, all thanks to this Heretic Dirty Gingerbread Candle ($85). 'Tis the season, so tell them to light it up and relax with store-bought cookies instead.

Gisou Honey-Infused Hair Perfume

Could there be anything more indulgent than perfuming one's hair?! This Gisou Honey-Infused Hair Perfume ($44-$83) brings a rich honey scent to any style (and hides the time since the last shampoo, too).

Charlotte Tilbury Bejewelled Instant Eyeshadow Palette

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder . . . and on the beholder's eyes. This new Charlotte Tilbury Bejewelled Instant Eyeshadow Palette ($75) includes options for smoky looks inspired by a range of gemstones with three complementary colors each for topaz, ruby, amethyst, and smoky quartz.

Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Perfect Glow Flawless Oil-Free Foundation

Bvlgari Eau Parfumée Au Thé Blanc Shampoo and Shower Gel

Upgrade their shower experience with this iconic Bvlgari Eau Parfumée Au Thé Blanc Shampoo and Shower Gel ($48), which leaves a trace aroma of white tea (plus hints of white pepper) on hair and body.

Dr. Barbara Sturm The Winter Kit

This Dr. Barbara Sturm The Winter Kit ($265) is like a go bag for winter weather and dry indoor heating. It packs six essential skin-care treats to keep skin hydrated and protected, including a rich face cream, calming serum, and more.

Yves Saint Laurent The Slim Glow Matte Lipstick

This Yves Saint Laurent The Slim Glow Matte Lipstick ($39) reinvents the shade "nude" with creamy options to suit a range of skin tones, and it comes in one sleek tube, too.

T3 Lucea ID 1” Smart Flat Iron With Touch Interface

This top-rated T3 Lucea ID 1" Smart Flat Iron With Touch Interface ($235) has a whopping nine heat settings, so it can automatically adjust to hair of different textures, lengths, or chemical treatments.

Goop Goopglow Best Sellers Kit

There aren't too many bright spots in 2020, but this Goop Goopglow Best Sellers Kit ($59) can surely be one. There's a glow-inducing exfoliator and peel pads, plus an antioxidant-rich drink that helps in the skin-brightening department, too.

Kora Organics Rose Quartz Heart Facial Gua Sha

A gua sha is meant to relieve stress and tension in the face, and this heart-shaped Kora Organics Rose Quartz Heart Facial Gua Sha ($58) also makes a pretty display when not in use.

Eve Lom Be Radiant Regimen Discovery Set

The Eve Lom Be Radiant Regimen Discovery Set ($80) makes a calming treat for skin with the iconic cleanser (and muslin cloth), plus a mask and moisturizer, too.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Sultry Eye Collection Palette Vault

While the brand may be most known for brow products, this Anastasia Beverly Hills Sultry Eye Collection Palette Vault ($65) makes eyes pop after a masterpiece is created with the smoky shadows, bold liner, and lengthening mascara inside.

Shani Darden Skin-Care Texture Reform

It's now possible to pick up skin-care products from this famed aesthetician right at Sephora, no trip to LA needed. (And, if you're not sure where to start, this Shani Darden Skin Care Texture Reform ($88) is an editor-approved retinol for beginners.)

The Burberry My Burberry Shower Oil ($60) is an almond oil that brings intense hydration to dry skin in winter, but also features hints of the fragrance of the same name with roses, freesia, and bergamot.

Shu Uemura Essence Absolue Nourishing Protective Oil

For anyone whose hair starts struggling with a season change, this shine-inducing Shu Uemura Essence Absolue Nourishing Protective Oil ($28-$69) can add essential moisture with camelia oil in winter and UV protection in summer, too.
