Holiday shopping is rarely an easy task. There’s always that one person on your list who is impossible to shop for, which typically results in you resorting to a gift card and calling it a day. There’s no shame in that — gift cards are always appreciated — but if you’re looking to give something with more of a “wow” factor this year, consider a well-curated beauty gift set.
Whether that person on your list is a beauty enthusiast or someone who could use a bit of pampering, a beauty gift set is always a failsafe option, as it offers something for everyone. Our advice: Stick to what they like best. If your sister always seems to have a new signature scent, consider getting her a luxury fragrance sampler that offers a range of perfumes. Shopping for a friend who spends her weekends watching beauty tutorials? You can’t go wrong with a limited-edition makeup gift set from one of her favorite brands. Not only does it include everything she’ll need to create her perfect beauty look, it also comes beautifully wrapped, making your job that much easier.
To help shorten your gifting list and narrow down the right items even faster, we’ve curated the ultimate guide to the best beauty gift sets for women this year. From high-tech skin care devices to the most elaborate makeup collections, you’ll find something for everyone.
