Beauty Gifts
For me, holiday season means one thing and one thing only: beauty gift sets. It’s the perfect time to try something new at a fraction of the original cost or stock up on old faithfuls.
- This luxe body butter is perfect for soothing dry hands or rough winter skin.
- I’ve been seriously loving the Urban Decay Mini Eyeshadow Palette. It’s compact, good for travel, and includes neutral shades for everyday wear.
- Another one of my favorite sets this year (which I actually own!) is the Pillow Talk Lipstick and Liner Set from Charlotte Tilbury. The infamous nude lip color is universally flattering (trust me), so it quite literally makes the perfect gift for any makeup-wearing person on your list.
- This body brush sweeps off dead skin and leaves your body feeling refreshed and invigorated. It’s best used right before taking a shower!
- A body and scalp scrub that will leave your skin feeling soft from head to toe.
- This honestly might be my favorite beauty find of the year. It keeps your blowout looking so fresh overnight.
- This hair brush is the perfect little luxury that will help you up your styling game.
- I recently got one of these hair towels and now I wonder how I ever lived without it.
- I’ve been swearing by this lip mask for years and still think it’s the best.

Home Gifts
Given how many of us work from home now, an interior decor find is both thoughtful and on-brand. This Grecian bust pot is so cute for a desk or windowsill and these ring dishes are sure to come in handy.
The other route you can go is gifting something that’s useful in the kitchen or for hosting. A personal favorite? The mini Le Creuset round cocette which is ideal for prepping meals for one or two people. I also love this serving board—it’s perfect for displaying snacks at get togethers.
- This set of colorful shot glasses would make a great addition to a bar cart.
- A ring holder that totally doubles as decor.
- A good coffee table book elevates a nightstand or media console. This one is filled with seasonal inspiration to level up your everyday life—perfect for the decorator in your life.
- Store leftovers or pack a lunch to go in this sturdy and stylish glass plastic bowl. A silicone lining wraps around the glass container to ensure all your food stays secure.
- A chic wine rack paired with a bottle of rosé is sure to be a hit.
- We all know someone who loves to host (and they’re almost always the people who already have everything for their home). Cheese knife sets are the perfect gift for those people because you can never have too many and they’re all so unique. This gold set is adorable.
- This might be the chicest frother I’ve ever seen. It will instantly enhance an ordinary cup of coffee.
- A set of mini bowls for the baker (or snacker) in your life.
- A fancy, easy-on-the-eyes cocktail shaker for your friend who is always the life of the party.
- This glass cloche would look so cute on top of a stack of books. Plus, it comes with a set of matches.
- Initial mugs are a fool-proof gift for anyone on your list. Love the color of these, they also come in red and black.

As someone who travels regularly, it’s been a serious struggle to find a chic yet useful storage method. This jewelry case is essentially the answer to my prayers—small enough to throw in my carry on, sleek enough to leave out in plain sight.
