Happy Friday everyone, and welcome back to another 2022 holiday gift guide! This is an annual series where I research and share the best presents for the loved ones in your life to help take some of the holiday shopping burden off your shoulders. If you missed any of my other gift guides from this year, you can catch up on them now: Glamorous Gifts for Her, Gifts for the Home, Luxe Gifts Under $50, and Splurge-Worthy Gifts Currently on Sale.
Today’s guide is one of my favorites! Makeup, skincare and other beauty products are a fantastic go-to option if you’re not sure what to get the mom, sister, wife or girlfriend, friend, grandma, etc. in your life. You don’t need to worry about getting any clothing or shoe sizes correct, and I don’t know a single woman who isn’t excited to try out new makeup or the latest skincare. These present ideas are a collection of products I personally use and love, items that are on my personal wishlist and others that get amazing reviews across the board.
Another bonus to purchasing beauty gifts is that you can find presents in virtually any price range and for any age range.
Looking for an inexpensive gift for a younger teenager? I’m obsessed with these Nuxe lip balms. They’re under $10 and truly magical. I first discovered Nuxe in Paris several years ago and have been hooked ever since. They leave your lips feeling so soft and smooth.
Wanting to buy that wow-gift for your trendy significant other? Try the new Shark FlexStyle tool. It’s basically like the Dyson AirWrap but for half the price. I’ve been waiting for there to be a comparable dupe because $600 for the AirWrap is a little steep, and the new Shark version gets excellent reviews. This is on my Christmas list this year!
For the beauty lover who already has everything, what about a glamorous hand mirror? This one from Anthropologie will look stunning sitting on her vanity and feels very vintage-inspired. Or, get her a chic leather case to safely store all of her products in. Neely & Chloe make them in the most beautiful floral patterns, and you can even get them personalized with their initials.
If you’re looking for a fail-proof idea, consider purchasing a gift set. They’re a ton of fun because you get a variety of smaller-sized items, so you can test out a majority of a brand instead of only one thing. This Tony Moly face mask set is a great budget gift set idea, or this Gisou hair collection is perfect for a splurge-worthy gift.
