Holiday beauty gift sets to go ahead and buy for yourself

Beauty gift sets may make the ideal holiday present, but let’s face it, we all just want to buy the perfectly curated collections for ourselves. The mini sizes in gift sets are perfect for travel, or for testing products before you splurge on a full-size. Sure, gift sets aren’t technically made for you to buy for yourself. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t.

Now that you are done picking up gifts for everyone else, it’s time to treat yourself with the best holiday gift sets of the year. Sure, you could buy them as a last-minute gift for your friend. But, if we are being honest, you’d rather spend that money on your own beauty regimen.

So consider this your official permission to just go ahead and buy that holiday gift set for yourself. You certainly deserve it for surviving the holiday season.
