From everyday essentials to special occasion products, these kits have it all.
There’s a reason why the beauty industry is considered a lifeline when times get tough: The ability to pamper oneself can serve as a bright spot during challenging periods, making wellness and self-care products typically unaffected by recession. So when it comes to the competitive sport of gift-giving, beauty and skincare sets are the ultimate crowd-pleasers.
Beauty gifts don’t just pamper — they inspire confidence and create moments of pure joy, making them a literal way to brighten the season (and their visage). Think luminous highlighters that mimic a winter glisten (we see you, Jones Road), velvety lip glosses for soft kisses under the mistletoe, or indulgent creams that wrap your hands in comfort.
As the holidays approach, it’s time to spread the sparkle. From clean beauty stocking stuffers to luxury fragrances, we found the best holiday gift sets from Chanel, Bond No. 9, and Peter Thomas Roth at all price points. After all, everyone on your list deserves a dash of glamour.
