Sephora

Sephora
What's included: 100 mL The Body Wash, 50 mL The Body Serum, and 70 mL The Body Lotion.
Promising review: "This set is worth it — especially if you’re new to Nécessaire products. I had the full size versions about a year ago, but during a trip this year forgot my usual body products. I bought this at the nearest Sephora and remembered why I liked these so much. These last a while so great as travel items, too." —Taykecare
Price: $35
5. Dyson's Airwrap Multi Styler needs no introduction. I've seen it, you've seen it, your mom has seen it, and even your dog has probably seen it on every social media platform out there. That said, the splurge-worthy tool comes with everything your recipient needs to dry and style their hair without any heat damage. 🙌🏻
Sephora
What's included: Coanda smoothing dryer, 1.2" Airwrap long barrel, 1.6" Airwrap long barrel, soft smoothing brush, firm smoothing brush, round volumizing brush, and filter cleaning brush.
Promising reviews: "I can't believe it took me so long to purchase this! The new ceramic pop color made me bite the bullet. I have fine hair that is wavy and can be frizzy if I don't style it properly, so I usually just pull it back. This has made doing my hair so quick and easy and makes me actually want to do it! I can do so many different styles with one tool." —JKeegs
"I can't say enough good things about the Airwrap. I have wild, unruly hair that has gotten more difficult with age. This tames the unsightly frizz while adding a more defined and smooth curl. Love the bi-directional attachments." —BeMindful
Price: $499 (originally $599)
6. Glow Recipe's Fruit Babies Bestsellers Kit is a *complete* skincare routine in one cutie patootie box. It has everything they need to cleanse, tone, brighten, clear breakouts, hydrate, and absolutely glow like never before. ✨

Promising review: "I've been using this juicy lineup for just over a week now and I can already see and feel noticeable differences in my skin. My skin feels and looks tighter and my pores have gotten smaller. The overall appearance of my complexion has evened out, skin is less red looking and more plump and... DEWY. I was skeptical about buying this as I'm sensitive to scents, but these products have a very mild, tolerable and pleasant smell. I'll have to use them longer to see if they help my mild acne... but so far it is!" —Yhos
Price: $38
7. First Aid Beauty's KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub gets rid of pesky "chicken skin" — aka those tiny bumps clinically known as keratosis pilaris — with glycolic and lactic acids as well as pumice buffing beads. After a good scrub down, the results will make them feel like they got a legitimate chemical peel!
Sephora
Promising reviews: "One of my absolute FAVORITE products!! After just one use, I saw a huge difference with the KP on my arms and thighs. This is the only thing I’ve used that really works!" —Burzum
"I love this exfoliant. It works great — especially for tiny bumps and in-growth. I don’t like loofahs, etc., because they start harboring bacteria and are actually not good for your skin. However, this product is amazing. You only need tiny bit and it goes a long way." —vaish1234
Price: $12+ (available in two sizes)
8. Dior's viral Lip Glow Oil is a surefire crowdpleaser — especially if your beauty-loving recipient is active on TikTok and/or Gen Z. 😛
Sephora
Promising review: "I LOVE this lip gloss! I have a number of these in several colors in my purse, car, etc. I thought the Clarins lip oil was the best until I tried the Dior. ALL the colors look good on everyone! Have a couple of girlfriends who use it and we all look great in every color. Amazing and worth the $40. Also, if you have dry lips, this is very soothing and doesn’t bleed." —runnergirl117
Price: $40
9. Glamnetic's Press-On Nail Kits come in various lengths, shapes, and styles, and — the most important "and" there is — reviewers say they last for two+ weeks!!!
Sephora
Promising review: "Glamentic nails are by far the superior choice for press-on nails. The glue is extremely strong and the nails themselves are made from a very strong plastic that doesn't bend. You need to prep your nails properly in order for them to last. I usually get a solid week of wear (no pop offs, no paint chips) and up to two weeks with minor wear and tear. The confetti set is the best experience I've had with Glamnetic so far but I've also tried two other pairs. Definitely recommend." —danielleebrown
Price: $15 (available in 10 designs)
10. Amika's Mask-Topia Hydration + Repair Hair Mask Set addresses dryness, damage, and dullness no matter your recipient's hair texture. And the fact that they smell in👏cre👏di👏ble👏? Well that's just the cherry on top.
Sephora
What's included: 100 mL Soulfood Nourishing Mask, 100 mL The Kure Intense Bond Repair Mask, and 100 mL Dream Routine Overnight Hydration Treatment.
Promising review: "I bought this Amika set to split up among friends for Christmas gifts because it's such a great value! I've never tried The Kure, but Dream Routine is a holy grail for me. I can use it in the middle of my wash days and it leaves my hair so soft. A must-buy for the price and sizes. Whether you're keeping all three or splitting up the masks, it's totally worth it." —MelaCar
Price: $45
11. Glossier's You Eau de Parfum is just the warm and spicy scent they need for winter. The fragrance's woodsy notes of pink pepper, iris, and ambrox melt into skin and smell a bit different on everyone, giving it a truly personalized vibe. Plus, the bottle is basically decor in its own right.
Sephora
Promising review: "I absolutely love this perfume. I wish I was exaggerating when I say I've been complimented by a stranger and all of my friends. It's strong but not too strong so I don't get a headache. It's one of those perfumes where you can't really smell it (I get random whiffs of it) and everyone else can, and I mean that in a good way. I can't really explain how this smells other than with the word 'warm.' It just makes me smell cozy. I 10000% recommend this." —AnnaM8010
Price: $28+ (available in three sizes)
12. Dr. Jart+'s Face Mask Must-Haves Gift Set truly has something for everyone. The 10 different formulas help combat large pores, visible lines, redness, damaged skin barriers, and more. Some reviewers even split up the pack and dole them out to *several* people so you can save money and make everyone happy. 👌
Sephora

Price: $51 (originally $68)
13. Verb's Ghost Oil Duo has reviewers raving. Comb through 5-star reviews and you'll find plenty of people saying that 2–3 drops of this — applied from roots to ends — gives them body, fullness, and a polished look without any heat tools or extra effort because the latter is what we're all really trying to avoid...
Sephora
Promising review: "My favorite hair oil and a pretty killer value when I know I'll use it all. If I'm noticing atypical dryness in my hair, I put some on my ends while it's still wet. I use this when refreshing my hair or scrunching to break a gel cast. On the very rare occasion I wear my hair straightened or blown out, this can easily smooth out any next-day frizz without weighing my hair down." —LuviP
Price: $40
14. Dior's Mini Rouge Discovery Lipstick Set is certain to have your giftee feeling riiiiiich with its hydrating long-wear shades and wow-worthy packaging.

Price: $25+ (available in three sizes)

Price: $38 (available in four colors)
19. Color Wow's Dream Coat Supernatural Spray is just the ticket if they're looking to combat frizz, protect against heat tools, and give them a niiiiice shiny finish. We've all heard of glass skin... but now it's time for glass hair!
Sephora
Promising review: "I have curly frizzy hair and this stuff is like magic for my blowouts. Bought this in the travel size for a trip to Florida and fell in love.

Sephora
Promising review: "Bought this on a whim because I have a few breakouts here and there and needed something for under makeup... I have now thrown all my pimple patches away and only use this! It took two days for my pimple to completely disappear! It's magic!" —Sephora Reviewer
Price: $30
24. Sunday Riley's Luna Retinol Sleeping Night Oil supports their natural skin elasticity with retinol while also soothing surface redness with blue tansy. Just 3–4 drops nightly after cleansing and they'll develop their glow in no time.
Sephora
Promising review: "I first got the biggest size on sale and I didn’t think much of it. I just saw it was a popular product that had a form of retinol (I am in my early 30s) and I liked how my skin was glowy the morning after using so I kept on using it. Fast forward 11 months and now I know what people mean when they label something a ‘holy grail.’ I no longer have any small bumps along my hairline, I have no more random breakouts, texture is bare minimum, and I get told I have 'good skin,' and it’s in huge part thanks to Luna oil, I will never be without it!" —AlexandraFM
Price: $55+ (available in two sizes)
25. K18's Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask is a must-have for anyone who regularly bleaches, colors, or styles their hair with heat tools. The four-minute miracle worker repairs all sort of damage and leaves them with silky, straight-from-the-salon tresses.
Melanie Aman / BuzzFeed, Sephora
Promising review: "I have tried so many other products before trying K18 in hopes to start to repair my damaged ends, but this is the ONLY thing that actually works and it takes the cake!! 🙌🏼 It is totally worth the buy — you won’t regret it!" —Lau219
And here's more from my BF Shopping colleague Melanie Aman:
"I bleach my dark brown-black Asian hair blonde every 6–8 weeks, so I was immediately intrigued when I first heard some stylists at my salon raving about K18. And it turns out the rest of the world loves it too, because it was sold out at Sephora the first time I tried to buy it. I eventually snagged a itty bitty tester on Amazon and was gobsmacked at how much softer my hair was. Seriously. I spent the whole day touching my hair, and even my boyfriend agreed that my mane was noticeably silkier.
Olaplex was my go-to before I tried K18 and I still stand by it as a product, but I really love that K18 is a leave-in treatment rather than an in-shower mask. Having to let the Olaplex sit for 10 minutes felt like forever, especially when I wasn't taking an everything shower (you know, the ones where you exfoliate and shave). With K18, you let it sit in your hair for four minutes post shower to activate and then you can style your hair (or just let it air dry like I do).
I've found that my hair is softest the next day, so don't be discouraged if your hair looks or feels the same the day you use it. One last thing: it is pretty pricey but a little goes a long way. The 5-mL tube I bought has lasted ~five washes, and eventually K18 can become a maintenance product so you won't need to use it every time you wash your hair."
Price: $29+ (available in two sizes)
26. Wishful's Thirst Trap Juice 🧃 keeps skin healthy, strong, and bouncy with THREE types of hyaluronic acid and firming peptides. A major win during winter especially!
Sephora
The ultra-moisturizing serum comes courtesy of Huda Kattan, the Iraqi-American makeup artist and entrepreneur behind Huda Beauty, Kayali Fragrances, and Wishful.
Promising review: "I love this serum. I am new to serums, but I watched a video review of this product and decided to give it a try. My normally dry skin soaks this up and LOVES it. I use it every morning and night directly after my toner and I have noticed a huge difference in hydration and dewiness that we all crave." —MaggieMayTrout
Price: $47
27. And Peter Thomas Roth's Water Drench Hyaluronic Cloud Hydra-Gel Eye Patches are the quickest way to have them feel like they're getting a spa treatment right at home. All they have to do is pop on a pair of these babies, fire up whatever they're streaming these days, and say bye-bye to dryness and puffiness.
Sephora
Promising review: "Tried these for the first time and am impressed! I kept them on longer, until they were pretty much dry, and when I took them off I couldn’t believe my eyes — pun intended. There was an obvious visible improvement. My under eyes were no longer puffy, looked a lot smoother, and the dark circles were much better. They are cooling gel cushions and feel very refreshing and soothing. They have no fragrance. This is now a part of my skincare regimen and will definitely be buying this again." —susanshi
Price: $55
