You’ll see a Dyson Airwrap on countless beauty gift guides this season, and for good reason—this hot tool is worthy of the hype. It comes with six different attachments to dry, tame, wave, curl, and smooth strands without extreme heat, keeping your hair healthy, shiny, and stylish. It even comes with a sleek storage box to keep the tool and all of its attachments tidy and organized. While it’s available in many different colorways, we’re hooked on this limited-edition “Ceramic Pop” iteration, which features turquoise and coral accents reminiscent of Art Deco details along Miami Beach’s Collins Drive.

View On Nordstrom $164 View On Bluemercury.com $164 View On Neiman Marcus $164

It’s hard to find a gift that’s universally appealing, but a Diptyque candle always fits the bill. This set not only comes with two of the chic votives, but an endlessly charming “carousel” accessory. As the amber- or firewood-scented candle burns, the heat emitted from the wick causes the carousel to spin. In turn, this lets the candle light reflect off the carousel’s charms, making light and shadows dance on the walls. Call it the ultimate in mood lighting.

Polite Society is his newest venture and its collection features some of Blandino’s best creations yet—all of which are in this set of new essentials. We’re especially fond of Greatest Lashes of All Time Volumizing, Lengthening, Lifting & Curling Mascara, which creates a fluttery fringe that rivals the density of any false lash, and B.I.G. Mouth Lip Plumping Oil Gloss, for a plush pucker that will have people wondering “is it filler?”

Inside the curated collection are bestsellers berry, gummy bear, sweet candy, mint choco (very seasonal!), and our personal favorite, mango.

Few things are as showstopping as a gift stashed in the signature orange box of Hermès. And while we’d all love to give our friends a Birkin, that’s not really in the budget—but this charming set of emery boards certainly is! It comes with 12 double-sided files made with sustainably sourced wood; they can each be used multiple times to shorten and shape. And, yes, they’re all emblazoned with the brand’s logo.

This pistachio-caramel-scented confection from Sol de Janeiro has garnered quite the cult following, not just due to its delectable aroma, but also because of how its caffeine-infused, lightly luminous formula makes skin look firmer and smoother than ever. If you have a friend that’s a fan, make their year by giving them this jumbo-sized jar of Bum Bum Cream. It’s more than twice the size of the original jar, but won’t cost you double (win, win). It’s also decorated in festive packaging that is sure to pop on their vanity.

Chanel Lumière Graphique Eyeshadow Palette

View On Macy's $88 View On Chanel.com View On Harrods.com

While a lot of beauty gifts are subjective, you really can’t go wrong with a neutral eyeshadow palette—especially when it’s from Chanel. This holiday season, the fashion house has taken inspiration from the Roaring Twenties for its limited-edition collection, which is immediately clear as soon as you open the compact. Each of the five shadow pans are debossed with an elegant sequin pattern along with the iconic interlocking CC logo. The shades—golds, bronzes, black, and silver—are perfect for crafting luminous, festive looks, whether that’s a subtle shimmer or a bolder smoky eye.

Stashed in the charming Bauhaus-inspired box is a duo of hand and body wash and lotion, both imbued with the brand’s sultry Dark Rum scent, which features notes of plum, leather, and patchouli resting on a creamy, boozy base that anyone can love. Malin+Goetz’s sleek, minimalist packaging goes with pretty much all decor; we think this pair makes an exceptionally great hostess gift.

Baccarat Rouge 540 is one of the fragrance house’s most beloved scents and has achieved cult status among editors and TikTok stars alike.

Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Makeup Gift Set

View On Nordstrom $54 View On Charlottetilbury.com

Pillow Talk, a pinky nude hue, is Charlotte Tilbury’s bestselling lipstick of all time due to how it beautifully flatters all skin tones—and the lipstick’s success led to an expansion of the Pillow Talk collection, which you’ll get to try out in this cute, travel-sized set. In addition to the lipstick that started it all, you’ll find a perfectly-coordinating lip liner and blush as well as a black mascara. The sleeper hit here, though, is the berry-brown Pillow Talk eyeliner pencil. While it may be a little daunting for some, it’s worth trying out—it makes the whites of your eyes pop and somehow brightens up all eye colors.

This season, the brand is offering several limited-edition compacts with six pans in each; we’re particularly drawn to this moody one, which is a moody shade of blue and adorned with a bewitching jellyfish. Don’t worry, there are no funky shades inside—only gorgeous, luminous powders in pinks and neutrals to perfectly enhance your complexion.

View On Dermstore $55 View On Bloomingdales $55

We love a chic, seasonal candle—and all the better if the packaging is reusable! This stunning candle from Australian fragrance brand Glasshouse features festive notes of pine, balsam, spruce, and cedar, with a touch of red fruits for sweetness to boost the holiday vibes whenever it's lit. What we especially adore about this candle is the metallic lidded jar, which is styled to look like a townhouse. When the candle is lit, the flame peeks through the open windows; once the wax melts away, you can always stash other goodies inside (may we suggest peppermints?).

While we love many products in the Elemis lineup, our favorite hands down is the Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm. It makes for a truly luxurious face-washing experience and leaves skin touchably soft, not greasy, as it rinses away dirt, oil, and makeup (even stubborn waterproof formulas).

They’re all stashed in a gift box that’s so pretty, you won’t want to bother hiding it with wrapping paper.
