It happens every year. You tell yourself you're going to get ahead of shopping, only to have all of the usual preholiday checklist items creep up — cooking, cleaning, tying up loose ends at work — and find yourself, yet again, in the race against time.
Because we've definitely been there, we're gifting you with this easy, grab-and-go guide to last-minute (yet still thoughtful!) presents that will have every beauty-lover on your list covered. Even better, every item is $10 or less . . . and should you really be in a rush, the packaging is so festive, you can skip the wrapping paper.
The Body Shop Coconut Treats Gift Cube
Treat someone to a vacation (virtually, anyway) with this tropical treat from The Body Shop. It includes Coconut Shower Cream, Coconut Body Milk, and a Mini Cream Bath Lily sponge, all bundled inside a sweet ornament-style package. Plus, each purchase helps protect endangered species and the restoration of rain forests in Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesia.
E.l.f. Brush Squad 7-Piece Brush Set
If you don’t know what to get any given girl at any given moment, makeup brushes might just be your safest bet. With so many different fibers and functions, one can never have too many, especially considering they tend to disappear at the bottom of your bag. This set from E.l.f. contains seven (yes, seven!) essential, well-crafted tools for less than the typical price of one, all wrapped up in a big red bow.
Bliss ‘Scent’ With Love Vanilla Snowflake Travel-Size Trio
Perfect for the girl on the go, this limited-edition, skin-softening gift set from spa brand Bliss contains Vanilla Snowflake-scented body butter, hand cream, and bubble bath in one travel-friendly, resealable pouch.

Flowerful by Flower Beauty Eyes on You Collection
Every girl has that one friend whose eye makeup is always on point. Give her new materials for perfecting her art with this comprehensive and superaffordable set from Drew Barrymore’s Flower Beauty line. It contains the essentials (mascara, liquid liner, and eyeliner pencil), along with a 12-shadow palette for letting her creativity run wild.
Hand in Hand Soap
As if the adorable packaging weren’t enough to draw you in, the philanthropic aspect of this fair-trade soap will. The brand actually donates a bar and one month of clean water to a child in need with every purchase. Snag one for your boss or the holiday party hostess — you can give it by itself or up the ante by pairing it with a printed or monogrammed hand towel.

Ulta Beauty Matchmaker Kit
This adorable set from Ulta Beauty’s holiday collection makes playing matchmaker easy . . . at least when it comes to lips and nails. Give the girlie-girl in your life the whole set, which includes duos in berry, pink, and gold hues, or split it up and spread the love. The individual pairings are great for co-workers!
Soap & Glory Happy Pamper Gift Set
Soap & Glory has made a name for itself by serving up deliciously retro body care (the brand also has skin care and cosmetics) with a bubblegum-pink pop. This rose- and bergamot-infused set features the brand’s Righteous Butter Body Butter and Clean on Me Creamy Moisture Shower Gel for putting a smile on any gal’s face, whether young at age or heart.
Living Proof Style Lab Kit
The gift of great hair is always in season, but especially appreciated around the holidays. This sleek styling set from Living Proof makes it easy to give. It contains the brand’s popular Prime Styling Extender and Flex Shaping Hairspray for a flexible hold that lasts, regardless of your hair type.
Pacifica Holiday Body Butter Duo Gift Set
This is another one of those universal gifts that can be given to anyone, yet still feels special. The two beautifully packaged, delectable lotions (Indian Coconut Nectar and Tuscan Blood Orange), are especially great for the nature-lover in your life, as all Pacifica products are 100 percent vegan.
Sonia Kashuk Soft Cosmetics Case
Every season, Sonia Kashuk debuts a new, drool-worthy spectrum of shades and patterns for her beloved, budget-friendly makeup bag collection. Head to Target to score this pretty floral design for your friend who loves a feminine touch. You can give it as is or add an element of surprise by throwing a few additional goodies inside.
