There’s something for every beauty-lover on your shopping list.
Date November 29, 2022
When it comes to holiday gifting, the more the merrier is our motto, which is why we adore a good gift set. Also, let’s be real: We all have that friend, S.O., or relative in our life that’s beauty and self-care obsessed, and who would totally agree that nothing says “happy holidays” like buying them enough skincare, makeup or fragrance to last them till next December.
With the holiday season well underway, there’s no time like the present to shop for said loved ones. So, to lighten your load, we’ve narrowed down the season’s best beauty product bundles, from budget-friendly best-sellers to luxury picks that make a serious statement. And if you happen to find yourself down to the wire this year with no time left to wrap, we got you, too: With packaging as fabulous as the goodies stored inside, many of these gift sets can be left out on display for all to see.
Below, tap through our top beauty gift sets — and why not add a couple to your own wish list while you’re at it? No judgment here!
