Naturium Glowing Body Holiday Skincare Gift Set [19] ($10)

If you've ever tried Naturium, you know the brand routinely outperforms its price tag — and this $10 body-care duo is no exception. The wash gently hydrates, the lotion locks it all in, and together, they create a winter routine that looks and feels far more expensive than it is.

MAC Double Dazzle Eyeshadow Duo [20] ($24, originally $34)

Whether you tuck this eyeshadow duo into a stocking or make it the main gifting moment, it'll get "oohs" and "ahhs" either way. It features two bestselling shades — Subliminal Spark (a cool neutral with silver pearl) and Taupe It Off (a smoked purple taupe) — both of which feel like the perfect wintery hues to make the colder months more enticing.

Vacation Sun Belt Sampler [21] ($30)

Friendly reminder: sunscreen is a year-round thing, not a summer-only chore. That's why this gift is far from random in the dead of winter. It features a lineup of bestsellers from Vacation — the modern-meets-retro brand everyone's obsessed with — so they can find their new favorite formula (or four).

Prose Custom Leave-In Conditioner [22] ($32)
Prose allows you to create custom, personalized formulations based on your hair's specific needs. The leave-in conditioner helps detangle, smooth frizz, soften, and hydrate your hair, while also acting as a heat protectant. To get your perfect product, you'll answer questions about your hair type, density, whether it's dry or oily, and more. You can give your loved one a gift card to make their own or fill out the questionaire for them.

Origins GinZing Glowing Essentials Gift Set [23] ($35, originally $50)

I've always had a soft spot for Origins' packaging; the bold orange and clean, simple design just makes me happy every time I see it. But what I love even more is that the brand puts together great affordable gift sets, like this glow-boosting trio. Inside is a scrub cleanser, a full-size cream, and an eye cream — all powered by brightening vitamin C and ginseng, hydrating hyaluronic acid, depuffing caffeine, and smoothing niacinamide.

SACHEU Peel Off Liner STAY-N Bundle [24] ($35)

If you've spent any time watching makeup videos on TikTok or Instagram, you've definitely seen this peel-off lip liner making the rounds. And if you haven't — but know a chronically online makeup-lover who has — it makes an excellent gift. People (Billie Eilish included [25]!) love it because, unlike most traditional liners, this one actually stains your lips for long-lasting wear. Just apply it, let it set, peel it off, and top it with gloss or lipstick if you'd like. This kit comes with three of the brand's bestselling shades.

ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr On 'Til Dawn Mattifying Waterproof Setting Spray Big & Bitty Duo [26] ($36, originally $52)

This is the setting spray to end all setting sprays, according to me and pretty much everyone I know who's tried it. And while I fully stand by my own review, I'll gladly point to Beyoncé as proof; she famously used it to keep her makeup intact during a full-on rainstorm on the Renaissance Tour. I don't move like her on a dry day, let alone in the rain, but I can confirm it lives up to its waterproof claims. This gift set includes both a full-size and a mini, so they'll be covered at home and on the go.

Clinique Take The Day Off Home + Away Duo [27] ($44, originally $59)

Some old-school beauty favorites get overshadowed by new launches, but Clinique's Take the Day Off refuses to be replaced. It melts makeup — even waterproof mascara — like it's nothing and rinses clean without that tight feeling that comes when a cleanser is too harsh. It's gentle, fragrance-free, and honestly, the perfect gift for anyone who wears makeup. This kit comes with both a full-size and a mini, so they'll be stocked no matter where they're headed.

Makeup By Mario Ethereal Eyes Eyeshadow Palette: Nature [28] ($55, originally $69)

This makeup gift isn't a set per se, but that doesn't stop it from being one of the most coveted beauty presents of the year. The palette features 12 universal neutral shades in four different finishes, giving you — or whoever you're gifting it to — endless options, from soft, layered everyday looks to subtle pops of shimmer.

Aveda Invigorating Awe Rosemary Mint Hair & Body Essentials Gift Set [29] ($55)

I can practically smell how refreshing this beauty set is through the screen, but to be fair, I've used Aveda's products enough to know exactly what to expect. This holiday trio includes a shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, all infused with the brand's bestselling Rosemary Mint aroma (a blend of organic rosemary, peppermint, and spearmint), tucked inside a gift-ready box. There are plenty of people on my own list who would love this, so I'm willing to bet the same goes for yours.

Gisou Glow All The Way Hair and Lip Gift Set [30] ($69, originally $75)

Even before you get into the formulas, these products are covetable on design alone. But the formulas follow through: all five of the brand's bestsellers, each infused with Mirsalehi Honey for silky hair and pillowy-soft lips. This set is guaranteed to make someone feel very, very spoiled.

EADEM Le Chouchou Bisous Set Exfoliating + Softening Peptide + AHA Lip Softening Balm Gift Set [31] ($84)

I know it sounds dramatic, but I truly didn't think an actually innovative lip balm still existed. Then this one came along and proved me wrong. It's super pigmented, hydrating, and cushiony (not even a hint of stickiness), and it uses enzymes to gently exfoliate so your lips can drink up every hydrating ingredient. This five-piece set is basically the mother lode.

Sephora Favorites Cologne Sampler Set With Redeemable Voucher [32] ($98)

So many of you are out here Googling "Sephora holiday sets 2025," which brings me to the recommendation I give every single year when someone's stumped on gifting: this set. It's no wonder it has near-perfect reviews — it's genius. You get 20 sample-size fragrances, from cozy vanillas to warm florals, so the recipient can test-drive them all. Then they redeem the included scent certificate for a full-size bottle of their favorite, totally free.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Luxe Lip Velvet Vault [33] ($115)

This vault contains all six shades of the brand's beloved lip mousse: a weightless, true-matte formula with rich color and a soft, cushioned feel. Everything comes packaged in a stately lip vault that's just as impressive as the formulas inside.

Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Boost Collagen, Brighten and Firm Skincare Gift Set [34] ($455)

This gift set may be a splurge, but wow, is it the kind of present beauty dreams are made of. It includes a limited-edition pink version of the brand's bestselling LED mask (the one celebs and our senior beauty editor use as religiously as their morning coffee), along with a full-size vitamin C cleansing oil, moisturizer, and a pack of Daily Peel Pads. For context: the LED mask on its own normally costs the same price as this entire set. Learn more about the LED mask in our Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare DRx SpectraLite FaceWare Pro review [35].

Editor Quote: "There are a number of things that I love about the Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare DRx SpectraLight FaceWave Pro. First is the fit. Most LED masks that I've tried slip and slide around on my face, making them only usable when laying down and holding them in place. I can put this one on and go about my day, from watching TV to folding laundry. I also love how easy it is to use. There aren't any overcomplicated settings — you simply press a button and it begins to work its magic. Though LED light therapy takes a little while to see the benefits — Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare recommends you use it for 10 weeks to see results — I feel the blue-light treatment immediately reduces any redness I'm experiencing." — Jessica Harrington, beauty lead

Dyson Airwrap i.d.™ Multi-Styler [36] ($499, originally $650)

The Dyson Airwrap i.d. Multi-Styler barely needs an intro at this point. If you've ever scrolled TikTok, talked to a beauty editor, or breathed near a Sephora, you already know the hype. The device styles with airflow instead of extreme heat, giving you curls, volume, and sleekness without singed ends. It's ridiculously smart, endlessly fun to use, and as a gift, it's the kind that makes someone scream (in a good way). Learn more about it in our Dyson Airwrap i.d.™ Multi-Styler review [37].

Editor Quote: "In theory, this Dyson Air Wrap iD works the same as the original, however, it's the connection to the app that's the real game changer when it comes to creating curls. When you set up your profile on the app, it will ask questions about your hair type, desired styling outcome — for example less frizz or more volume — as well as your skill level. This will then create the automatic curl program for your hair. As I struggle with the wrapping part of the curl wand, I inputted 'beginner' as this gives a longer time to wrap the hair – around nine seconds – which becomes shorter the more skilled you are." — Lauren Ezekiel, former associate editor at Popsugar UK
