Toss That Gift Receipt—I'm 99.9% Sure Everyone Is Keeping These 31 Beauty Gifts
Few things feel worse than learning that someone returned a gift you gave them. Was my curation off? Should I have gotten them a gift card instead? Do I suck at gift giving? These are the intrusive thoughts that I've had after giving subpar gifts. But I can assure you that those thoughts won't enter my brain this holiday season because I scoured the internet for the absolute best beauty gifts. Out of thousands of products and many trends, I found the best skincare tools, highly coveted hair products, and makeup must-haves. And truth be told, I'll be buying two of most of these so I can keep one for myself. Keep scrolling for these top hits, and prepare to crown yourself the best gift giver of 2023.
Gen Z has turned pimple patches into the cutest beauty accessory. This Glossier x Starface collab is a must-have.
So many of my friends already own this gloss, but the new shade Romance is a must-have. It looks incredible on every skin tone and lasts so long.
You can never have too many claw clips. Emi Jay has the perfect colors that feel like the chicest additions to every outfit.
I can't go on TikTok without seeing an at-home blowout tutorial. Anyone would be lucky to unwrap this hair dryer.
If you want to give someone shiny and hydrated hair for the holidays, pair the hair dryer with this bonding oil to create the perfect hair gift set.
Who else is using this Rich Cream to manifest a year of wealth? Hydrated and even skin is guaranteed.
Eadem completely took over my skincare routine this year. Every single product is gentle and effective, and I've never received more compliments on my skin.
Fragrance lovers can't get enough of Byredo, and for good reason. Gift them with Young Rose, and they'll be reminded of you every time they spray this heavenly scent.
Give the gift of uninterrupted sleep. These gummies are high on the list of top purchases for me in 2023.
When you think of beauty sleep, an eye mask feels essential, but not one that's uncomfortable or slips off in the middle of the night. This contour mask was made to protect the eyelashes and feel comfortable during your beauty rest. I'd consider this an underrated, luxe gift.
I could go on and on about how amazing this smells and feels on the skin, but I'll let the person you gift it to do the talking. It's a guaranteed hit for just about everyone on your list.
Petition to make gift giving fun again! This SPF is the perfect blend of fun and practical. I bet whoever you give this to won't forget to apply sunscreen ever again.
POV: It's the start of your natural lash and brow journey, and this is your go-to set.
I can always trust the ingredients in products from Topicals. Its newest launch is a vegan, barrier-building balm that gives a high-gloss shine and major moisture.
My co-worker swears by this, so I'm making it my mission to gift it to all my friends who heat-style their hair regularly. What a treat.
I'm having a hard time thinking of a better gift for myself than longer- and fuller-looking lashes in a month's time.
The goal is to glow all year round. Refy's gloss highlighter gives that glazed-donut glow in the best way possible.
Dark circles, fine lines, and wrinkles? It's time to do a disappearing act.
Speaking of under-eyes, these brightening eye patches are a staple. Gift accordingly.
According to "red nail theory," this polish belongs on your wish list.
They don't call this the daily rescue spray for nothing. Combat dryness, pimples, and dehydration with just a couple of spritzes.
This pore extractor changed the game for me, and now I'm considering canceling my facial membership. It's time to pay it forward.
This just might be the best-smelling bodycare product I own. Using it in the shower feels like the ultimate luxury experience.
It's always nice to have a good set of press-ons lying around for those last-minute events. I love how on-trend these look.
Grab this set for the makeup beginners in your life. This is the kind of starter kit I wish I had when I first started wearing makeup.
I'll take glowing skin after a 10-hour flight. Please and thank you.
A gift for the people in your life who wear their hair in a slicked-back bun. This gel has major hold but doesn't make your hair feel crunchy or sticky.
