Makeup Gift Sets
The best makeup gift sets offer a taste of the classics with a side dish of discovery. Take Jones Road’s The New Classics Kit, which pairs founder Bobbi Brown’s new cult classic—her dewiness-imparting Miracle Balm—with everyday staples like clear brow gel and lash-lifting black mascara. Westman Atelier’s set, which has a “Fête” theme that dovetails with its glittering rosé highlighter, also has the perfect underpinnings for an elevated, everyday look. (The Eye Want You mascara, with its creamy finish and effortless glide, is a Vogue editor must-have.) With additional sets from Hourglass and Merit, the assortment below will put a smile—and a flawless finish—on the face of anyone on your gift list.
Chanel
Ultimate Allure Makeup Set
The limited-edition set pairs two products that can create a party-ready makeup look in minutes flat. The Noir Allure mascara is infused with natural waxes to boost volume, curl, and lengthen. Plus, its formulation has a secret ingredient (an invisible dash of red pigment) that adds depth and dimension to the lashes. Meanwhile, the Rouge Allure L’Extrait creates a cherry-stained lip that’s perfect for beginners. “Stains are such an easy way to add the color without having to commit to a red lipstick,” celebrity makeup artist Nina Park previously told Vogue. Both arrive in a limited-edition keepsake Chanel pouch—très chic.
Moda Operandi Beauty
Lauren's Winter Beauty Box
Moda Operandi co-founder (and Vogue alum!) Lauren Santo Domingo curated nine of her must-have beauty products for this limited-edition set. The luxe offerings range from Sisley-Paris’s Black Rose Cream Mask to Oribe’s Gold Lust hair mask and Violette FR’s lip balm, perfect for just-kissed color in a swipe. Display it all on the chic, black-and-cream tray that’s included with the set.
Victoria Beckham Beauty
Kajal Jewel Liner Collection
Victoria Beckham’s kajal liners—creamy, highly pigmented, and smudge-proof—have a permanent spot on the lids of celebrities and pro makeup artists alike. Fiona Stiles, makeup artist to the likes of Lily Collins, previously told Vogue: “These are simply wonderful to use. They can be drawn on like a liquid liner and smudged out with plenty of play time before they set.” In this gift-worthy set, five liners come in jewel-toned hues perfect for the holiday season, including Sequin Green, Smoky Quartz, and the new Silver Glaze. The set also includes Vast Lash Mascara, one of Vogue’s favorite mascaras of 2024, and a handy sharpener.
Dior
Iconic Dior 4-Piece Makeup Set
Icons only may well be the motto of this coveted set. The sampling of classics for the lashes, lips, and cheeks includes Diorshow Iconic Overcurl Mascara, which gives the lashes instant volume and lift. The set also has the Rosy Glow Blush that Ariana Grande swirls on “everywhere,” and the TikTok-viral Dior Addict Lip Glow Oil (a go-to for Bella Hadid). What’s more, the clutch that stashes it all is a golden keepsake that’s meant to last.
Jones Road
The New Classics Kit
Filled with five essentials for that second-skin makeup look—a little glow here, a slight complexion tweak there—Jones Road’s kit is perfect for the giftee looking to get polished on the go. To start, select a Miracle Balm to provide an instant flush of color to the cheeks. (If you don’t know which shade to pick, Au Naturel and Bronze tend to flatter all skin tones.) The balm is rounded out with other universal essentials, including a clear brow gel, a black mascara, and a brown eyeshadow. What’s more, the collection comes in a keepsake makeup bag with a chic, crinkled design.
Petite Fête Edition
Whether you’re headed to a fête or just need a little shimmer in your day, Westman Atelier’s kit brings the party to any makeup look. Stocked with three travel-sized essentials for a festive zhush-up—including inky black mascara and a highlight stick in a sparkling rosé—the kit also contains Baby Cheeks. The creamy blush stick, which harnesses biomimicry pigment technology to create a natural-looking flush, is an insider’s secret for giving mature skin a youthful boost.
Hourglass
The Full Face Edit Set
Julianne Moore and Kate Moss are just two of Hourglass’s A-list loyalists, who lean on the brand for that soft-focus glam. This limited-edition set offers five universally appealing products, including glittery eyeshadow, satin-y lipstick, and a versatile brush. But it’s the Ambient Lighting Palette—thoughtfully stocked with light-diffusing blush, bronzer, highlighter, and finishing powder—that your giftee will love for an on-demand glow.
Merit
The Dress Code Set
Merit’s Signature Lip—a matte lipstick that manages to feel weightless on the lips—won over senior beauty shopping writer Kiana Murden, who was previously a “gloss girl through and through.” This limited-edition set features the irresistible formulation in three new shades, each with a different finish. From a burgundy matte to a pink-brown satin and a mauve “lip blush,” the collection is just the thing for makeup lovers looking for a modern lip.
Beauty Tool Gifts
The joy of gifting beauty tools is that it feels like arming your loved one with their own personal glam squad. Whether they unwrap a facial massager designed to mimic a celebrity esthetician’s firming touch or zone out with a podcast while working up a sweat in Gwyneth Paltrow’s favorite portable sauna, your giftee will surely feel the glow from the best beauty tool gifts of the year. Below, browse picks from Joanna Czech, Dyson, HigherDose, and other brands determined to add a touch of the salon or spa to the frantic holiday season.
L'Oréal
AirLight Pro
Developed with pro stylists, L’Oréal’s new hair dryer harnesses infrared light, wind, and heat for a quick blow dry that won’t damage the hair. The tool comes with two attachments—a concentrator and a diffuser—and has RFID technology to detect each attachment and adjust temperature and airflow accordingly. What’s more, the dryer allows users to create and save custom settings, which tailor wind speed and heat to specific hair types.
Healthyline
Jet Mat FullPro 7224
Embedded with crushed tourmaline, jade, obsidian, and amethyst, HealthyLine’s multitasking wellness device puts five types of tension-melting therapy at one’s fingertips. Primed to perform hot-gemstone, far-infrared, negative-ion, photon-light, and PEMF therapies with the touch of a remote-control button, the mat has become my go-to wellness tool this season. My little ritual: Put the mat on the bed, turn it up to its full 158 degrees, then lie back for a 15-minute meditation or a dip into my novel. After a session, I feel blissed out, unwound, and deliciously warm—like I’ve just emerged from a hot-stone massage. I’m not the first Vogue writer to lean on HealthyLine for a dose of serenity in the frenzied holiday season; contributor Zoe Ruffner has called the brand’s Goop-approved Taj Mat “one of the most decadent relaxation gifts on the market.”
Currentbody
LED Light Therapy Face Mask: Series 2
A coveted tool for delivering a fresh-from-the-facialist radiance, Currentbody’s LED Face Mask is equipped with carefully selected light wavelengths. The tool harness red light and near-infrared light to target a host of skin concerns, from boosting collagen production to taming redness and evening out the skin tone. What’s more, the mask has a flexible silicone shell that’s not only comfortable to wear, but boosts efficacy by fitting flat across the face to ensure that the light hits the skin evenly.
Dyson
Special Edition Airwrap Multi-Styler
The classic styling tool is widely known as the gold standard for achieving salon-quality results at home—whether waves, curls, or tamed flyaways are in order. Celebrity hairstylist Erinn Courtney once told Vogue: “It literally works like magic. It gives the bounciest curls and waves with so much body. I’ve never experienced heat damage using this.” Here, the beloved tool gets a special-edition twist with a detangling comb to lengthen and smooth the tresses before styling; it also comes in a pretty colorway of strawberry bronze and blush.
Joanna Czech
Facial Massager
If your giftee can’t score an appointment with legendary esthetician Joanna Czech, this cult-status tool brings a taste of her touch to their fingertips. Facial massage is a core tenet of Czech’s approach to lifting and firming the skin, smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles, and boosting radiance. This angular roller was designed to achieve all these effects in a scant seven minutes each day.
Therabody
TheraFace Depuffing Wand
Therabody’s new tool, which offers cold therapy at a controlled temperature, tightens the pores, contours the face, and is a breeze to use—simply push a button to activate the device and toggle between temperature settings. After adding it to her skin-care routine, senior beauty commerce writer Kiana Murden noted: “After each use, I see a noticeable improvement in the orbital area and cheekbones, where I experience the most inflammation. Plus, the device offers a heat treatment as well, which helps boost circulation and improve product absorption.”
T3
AireBrush
With three heat settings and two speed settings, T3’s hair dryer brush provides a sleek, voluminous blowout every time. It also delivers cool shots of air to the hair to set a style and add a touch of shine, and its oval-shaped brush lends a healthy bounce to any hair type and length.
Higherdose
Infrared Sauna Tool
Wellness aficionado Gwyneth Paltrow doesn’t let a day go by without a good shvitz, and if she’s on the go, she totes this HigherDose blanket with her. “It’s a 10 out of 10,” she previously told Vogue. “You just get in it and you sweat.” (That’s a worthy result, since sweating eases stress, facilitates better sleep, boosts muscle recovery, and more.) Low in EMF and ELF currents, which may have health-adverse side effects, the blanket draws on infrared heat to boost circulation, promote relaxation, and give the skin that post-sweat-session glow.
Advent Calendars
The best beauty advent calendars fill even the most seasoned industry insider with delight. Just ask any Vogue editor, who finds any excuse to pop into the beauty closet this time of year to open the teeny doors and peek inside the wee drawers holding gift-worthy goods from best-in-class brands. From Charlotte Tilbury’s heart-shaped treasure trove (which, of course, has a Pillow Talk lipstick as one of its hidden riches), to Dr. Barbara Strum’s clinical-grade solutions for aging skin, this year’s advent calendars are filled with surprises that add to the thrill of the holiday countdown.
Dior
Le 30 Montaigne Dior Beauty Advent Calendar
Each year, the Vogue shopping team keeps fastidious track of the most luxurious beauty advent calendars; Dior’s is an annual standout. This year, those who adore Dior can count down to the holidays with a gilded set modeled on the brand’s iconic Paris boutique. The set holds 24 gifts ranging from perfumes to makeup, skincare, and a full-size candle.
Maison Francis Kudkdjian
Countdown Calendar
Instead of counting down to December 25, Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s calendar offers a fragrant gift for every day between Christmas and New Year’s Eve. The set is filled with some of the most iconic offerings from the French fragrance house, including perfumes, candles, and body oil. Baccarat Rouge 540—a Vogue editor favorite—is available as a perfume and oil, so you can layer it to floral-woody perfection.
Diptyque
25-Piece Scented Treasures Set
Life looks (and smells) better by Diptyque candlelight. The French brand’s festive gift set offers 25 candles in seasonal scents, ranging from pine tree to Friandise (translation: sweet treat) and the irresistible Feu de Bois, which channels the coziest cracking wood fire. Housed in a brightly illustrated package that looks like a sewing box, the calendar also has decorative ornaments, hand wash, and room spray within its wee drawers.
Saks Fifth Avenue
25-Day Advent Calendar
The iconic retailer tucked 25 of its most coveted goods into a charming set decked with glittering snowfall. Inside, Saks’s pull-out drawers hold miniature skin salves from Dr. Barbara Sturm and Augustinus Bader, makeup from Charlotte Tilbury and Dolce & Gabbana, fragrances from Byredo and Le Labo, and more.
Bobbi Brown
Dazzle & Glow 12-Day Bestsellers Advent Calendar
Bobbi Brown’s tightly curated calendar offers an assortment of gifts sure to dazzle any beauty lover. A mix of full- and travel-size goods is featured—but only bestsellers made the final cut. Everything from the cult-classic, vitamin-enriched Face Base to rosy lipstick and creamy moonstone eyeshadow is in the mix, and they’re all housed in this festive golden box.
Charlotte Tilbury
Charlotte's Beauty Treasure Chest of Love
Charlotte Tilbury’s jewel-studded, heart-shaped advent calendar is eye candy in itself—but the goodies inside bring even more beauty to the holiday season. The quick-to-sell-out set is filled with 12 makeup and skincare favorites from the beloved brand, ranging from the universally flattering Pillow Talk lipstick to Push-Up mascara and crystalline lip oil.
Dr. Barbara Sturm
Beauty Advent Calendar
Known for pioneering skin care from vampire facials to nutrient-rich creams, Dr. Barbara Strum also offers treatments that plump and perfect the complexion without a needle or vial in sight. The doctor’s advent calendar offers 24 of her bestselling salves for holiday-photo-ready skin, ranging from a gentle cleanser to the anti-aging Glow Drops that Hailey Bieber routinely dabs on.
Jo Malone London
Beauty Advent Calendar
Make the first 25 days of December ever-so fragrant with dozens of gifts from the beloved London house. The brand’s classic, cream-and-black packaging gets a festive makeover with candy canes and ornaments; inside the box, colognes, candles, and bath products lie in wait. Pro tip: Jo Malone's scents were made to be layered, so mix one day’s discovery with the next for a customized fragrance that will become your signature on the holiday party circuit.
Makeup Gifts
Small enough to slide inside a stocking, the best makeup gifts make a big impact on one’s glamour and glow. From a Guerlain blush that gives a 12-hours-of-sleep flush in a single swipe to Chanel’s sultry eyeshadow palette and a splurge-worthy lipstick from Hermès, these covetable products are the bow on top of any beauty look.
Sisley Paris
Phyto-Noir Mascara 2-Piece Discovery Set
With whimsical illustrations by British artist Fee Greening, the set holds two beauty classics from Sisley Paris. The Phyto-Noir Volume & Lift Mascara is infused with vitamin peptides and resurrection plant extract to stimulate lash growth, while the Phyto-Lip Twist moisturizes the lips with a balmy coat of tinted gloss.
Pat McGrath Labs
Divine Rose Jet Set Makeup Kit
Exclusive to Nordstrom, the set bundles four miniature products from legendary makeup artist Pat McGrath. Two lip products—a silky lip shine and a hydrating lip gloss with full-wattage glimmer—are rounded out with a rosy blush. A creamy matte lipstick in the same petal-pink hue offers a taste of the MatteTrance formulation, which celebrities like Dua Lipa save for special occasions.
Tom Ford
Eye Color Quad & Lipstick Gift Set
Whether you want a deep rose lip and a smoked-out eye for date night or sparkling pink lids and a plum-colored pout for a holiday cocktail, Tom Ford’s gift set has the goods to achieve the look. The set pairs two luminous lipsticks with four eyeshadows in moody, pink-and-purple hues, and it’s all wrapped up in Tom Ford’s luxurious, gold-tinged packaging.
The Lip Volumizer
Available in five soft and sheer shades, including coral, pink, and berry, La Mer’s serum-inspired lip gloss brings a touch of the brand’s signature Miracle Broth to the lips. The sea-harvested ingredient plumps and soothes the pout while flooding it with protective antioxidants. Meanwhile, the glossy, tinted formulation leaves the lips with a kissable glow—perfect for under the mistletoe.
Rhode Skin
Fall Lip Phone Case
Just the thing for the young (or young-at-heart) Instagram aficionado, Rhode’s clever phone case ensures that lipgloss is on hand for every selfie opp. The limited-edition accessory comes in various sizes for different iPhones and in hues ranging from Peach Pit to Salty Tan. Plus, a pocket in the back keeps Rhode’s peptide lip treatments—or the gloss of your choice—secure. The cult accessory tends to fly off the shelves, so grab it before it’s out of stock.
Chanel
Les 4 Ombres Eyeshadow
Chanel’s glimmering eyeshadow palette holds four complementary colors, which can be used individually or combined for maximum eye drama. Available in 16 shades—ranging from the pink and shimmery Tissé Camélia to the green-and-gold-tinged Blurry Green, the palettes each hold two medium hues, one deep shade for contour, and a light shadow to highlight. And, should you wish to change looks in the car whisking you from one holiday party to the next, the compact’s built-in mirror will come in handy.
Hermès
Rouge Hermès Satin Lipstick
A staple in Jennifer Garner’s beauty bag, this covetable lipstick conditions lips while coating it in a wash of radiant color. It’s not just celebrities themselves that love the lipstick, mind you. Michael Anthony, celebrity makeup artist for the likes of Ariana Grande, previously told Vogue: “The formula is very rich-feeling and the color range has a variety of interesting undertones—especially in the nude shades,” he notes. Beige Kalahari, for example, mixes light pink with a soft gold hue inspired by desert sand.
Guerlain
Terracotta Powder Blush
When a long winter’s nap simply isn’t an option, consider this instant complexion reviver instead. In her recent quest for a healthy, natural-looking flush, Vogue contributor Coco Mellor swiped on two hues of Guerlain’s Terracotta Blush (Light Nude and Deep Nude, to be exact) and woke up to the powers of the French beauty classic. “Somehow I look like I just slept 12 hours,” she marveled in her review.
Prada
Monochrome Hyper Matte Refillable Lipstick
Does someone on your list have a soft spot for a matte lip? Look no further than Prada Beauty. Available in Hyper Matte and Soft Matte finishes across a handful of brown, pink, and red hues, these dress the lips in creamy, buildable pigment known to never bleed or transfer.
Dries Van Noten
Refillable Lipstick Case
Level up your giftee’s lip game with sleek lipstick case. Each of the seven stylish tubes can be filled with one’s choice of Dries Van Noten lipstick or balm, or swapped to suit the day’s agenda.
Skin-Care Gifts
While an appointment with a celebrity esthetician or a world-renowned anti-aging expert would make a pretty swish stocking stuffer, the best skin-care gifts are the next best thing. This year’s assortment of skin-soothing gift sets offers renowned products for anti-aging, soothing, and hydrating—expect a spa-grade experience, without leaving home. Better yet, the sets bundle bestsellers from the likes of Joanna Czech, Augustinus Bader, and La Mer, often at a considerable value. (For example, La Mer’s Renewal Complexion Set, priced at $415, has a $640 value.) Whether softer lips or smooth under-eyes are at the top of their wish list, help your giftee put their best face forward.
Dr. Few
Clean Retinol
This gentle retinol was developed by plastic surgeon Dr. Julius Few, who’s something of a clean-skincare guru for celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow. Suited to all skin types—even the most sensitive—the formulation pairs 0.2% retinol with a peptide complex that boosts collagen production. It’s also infused with green tea, an antioxidant that soothes the skin. This is my favorite retinol, for the record: Each time I apply it at night, I wake up the next morning with a lit-from-within glow. For added hydration, I sandwich the retinol between Dr. Few’s supremely silky oil serum and a moisturizer.
SkinCeuticals
Post-Injectable System
For anyone who’s just had a holiday glow-up at the clinic (or has one in the cards), SkinCeuticals’s thoughtful set will complement results. The post-procedure skin-care system includes a deeply hydrating hyaluronic acid serum, a mattifying, broad-spectrum SPF 50, and the brand’s cult-classic CE Ferulic—a brightening, firming salve that’s hailed as the gold standard of vitamin C serums.
Dieux
Forever Eye Mask
The holidays can be exhausting—get rid of the evidence with Dieux’s reusable eye masks. Infused with medical-grade silicone gel that coats the skin with a protective, occlusive layer, the masks hydrate, plump, and catch eye-makeup fallout. Part of Hailey Bieber’s dewy skin routine, the sustainable patches stay true to their name: They can, indeed, be reused forever.
Chanel
No 1 De Chanel Revitalizing Duo
With the launch of Nº1 de Chanel, the legendary brand dipped its ballet-pump-clad toe into clean beauty. Two stars of the collection—the Revitalizing serum and cream—harness red camellia extract to boost radiance, smooth wrinkles, tighten the pores, and more. The duo offers both products in travel-sized formats, tucked into a red-and-white pouch that’s prime for packing.
Augustinus Bader
The Revitalizing Essentials Set
While telling Vogue her beauty secrets, Eva Longoria confided: “I love taking care of my skin. I feel like I’m pampering myself every day in my bathroom.” Integral to Longoria’s luxe, at-home regime are Augustinus Bader’s The Rich Cream and golden eye patches, both found in this limited-edition set. Also including a corrective serum, the trio has all the hydrating, brightening essentials for radiant, resilient skin.
Radiant Renewal Collection Set
Stocked with La Mer’s legendary skincare—which applies an oceanic touch to hydrating, lifting, and plumping the complexion via its sea kelp-rich Miracle Broth—this luxe gift set contains four of the brand’s most efficacious products. From a moisturizing eye cream to a sculpting serum and the famously rich La Mer Moisturizing Cream, the set will keep your giftee’s skin soft as a siren’s lullaby all winter long.
Joanna Czech
The Minis Edit
With her eponymous skin care line, celebrity esthetician Joanna Czech bottled up her signature, soothing touch. Her toner, serums, cream, and balm—bundled up here in a travel-ready collection —make for a hydrated and healthy complexion on the go. Pro tip: The Cleansing Wipes, seeped in anti-inflammatory flower water, are perfect for a post-flight refresh.
Laneige
Lip Sleeping Mask Set
Laneige’s cult-classic lip masks are a key factor in Tyla’s glossy brown lip; for Lila and Kate Moss, the product is a family beauty secret. Infused with fruit complex, vitamin C, coconut oil, and shea and murumuru butters, the classic comes here in five miniature pots ready to flood the lips with moisture—and fruity flavor. This set, in particular, contains mini lip masks in Mango, Berry, Gummy Bear, Watermelon Pop, and Peach Iced Tea.
Fragrance Gifts
Scents are irrevocably tied to memories; this holiday season, create fragrant new memories for everyone on your list. The best fragrance gifts provide a sampling of scents both classic and cutting-edge, from Chanel’s new No. 5 L’Eau to D.S. & Durga’s “humid and sexy” Debaser. What’s more, these sets invite giftees to hone their noses and sharpen their senses—mixing, matching, and layering all season long.
Merit
Retrospect L’Extrait de Parfum
An under-$100 gift with a deceptively sophisticated scent, Merit’s first perfume puts a modern spin on classic notes. Its clean mix of aldehydes, jasmine, rose, and vanilla, evolves throughout the day. It starts fresh and bright in the morning and melds into something altogether sultrier by evening.
Jo Malone
Red Roses Cologne
Jo Malone’s take on rose mixes seven types of the classic flower with notes of crushed violet leaves, honeycomb, and a twist of lemon. The layerable, unisex scent is a favorite of Vogue fashion director Virginia Smith. “I’ve been a fan of Jo Malone Red Roses fragrance for many years,” she writes. “The scent reminds me of a summer garden—a memory I never get tired of.”
Byredo
Mojave Ghost Absolu
Byredo’s cult-classic scent—a woody, ambery, magnolia-and-violet-laced ode to the desert—gets an intensified twist in its absolu de parfum iteration. Launched in October, Mojave Ghost Absolu has distinctive (and gift-worthy!) packaging that pairs Byrdeo’s classic, round glass bottle with an antiqued gold atomizer and a textured cap inspired by burning wood.
Acne Studios
Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle
Vogue’s beauty editor-at-large Arden Fanning Andrews described Acne Studios’ first scent as “a whiff of fresh laundry from the future, [with] bright aldehydes and soft floral notes, a rosy classicism, earthy sandalwood, and comforting white musk.” All that comes in a bottle that glows with pastel-sunset hues, making for a display-worthy gift.
Chanel
N°5 Eau de Parfum Purse Spray
Vogue editors have gained quite a penchant for Chanel’s new eau de parfum purse spray. The limited-edition set features three fragrance vials of N°5 or N°5 L’Eau encased in a sleek travel tube with a wearable chain—certainly one of our favorite gifts of 2024!
Dries Van Noten
Vanille Camouflage Eau De Parfum
Few fragrances are as tasteful as Dries Van Noten’s! It’s latest collection delivered four eau de parfums, of which Vanille Camouflage offers wide appeal pairing notes of creamy vanilla, bourbon, and green notes for a fresh, skin-like scent sure to delight.
Diptyque
5-Piece Eau de Parfum Set
Diptyque’s five-piece set offers a whiff of the natural world, filtered through a fantastical lens. Inspired by natural elements with imperceptible scents—including mother of pearl, coral reefs, and crystalline structures—the Les Essences collection is a new offering from the storied French house, making it the perfect gift for the fragrance lover who’s always in the know.
Maison Francis Kurkdjian
Mini Fragrance Wardrobe for Her Set
Along with the classic Baccarat Rouge 540, which drew compliments from Rihanna when one Vogue writer wore it to her fashion show, Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s set contains seven other scents. From watery and light to fruity and musky, there’s a waft to suit any mood. As a bonus, the under-$100 price tag gives the set a more casual vibe—yours can be the most coveted gift at the office White Elephant.
Chanel
N°5 L’Eau Eau de Toilette Spray
The iconic scent gets a fresh take in this limited-edition drop—which actually looks like a drop. In a clear vessel that the brand has called “a feat of glassmaking,” the fragrance has a lighter, fresher feel than the Chanel No. 5 that accompanied Marilyn Monroe to bed. Created in 2016, the No. 5 L’Eau adds citrus and cedarwood to the original No. 5 notes of aldehyde, ylang-ylang, rose, and jasmine.
D.S. & Durga
Deluxe Box Set
Brooklyn-based perfumer D.S. & Durga is known for unisex scents that are handmade in small batches, giving each one a cult, grab-it-while-you-can appeal. Perfect for the experimentalist on your gift list, the Deluxe Box Set has six scents including the Vogue-editor beloved Cowboy Grass and the Debaser scent—which, according to the brand, can best be described as “hot, humid, and sexy.” The fragrances can be mixed and matched, worn alone, or layered with the brand’s I Don’t Know What perfume enhancer, which also comes in the set.
Hair-Care Gifts
The best hair-care gifts elevate brushing, smoothing, and styling from a mundane task into a mindful, and even luxurious, routine. This holiday season, Vogue editors are adding fancy brushes, hand-carved combs, and celebrity-loved stylers into our carts—and into prettily wrapped packages for our loved ones. If there’s any way to turn a giftee’s harried sprint to the end of the year into a series of soul-gratifying good hair days, it can be found in one of these coveted sets. Ahead, browse picks from Crown Affair, Oribe, Living Proof, and other coif-perfecting brands.
Aveda x Altuzarra
Scalp Solutions Scalp Care Essentials
Another gift with a prestigious pedigree and an under-$100 price tag, Aveda’s limited-edition set was developed in collaboration with Altuzarra. A reusable gift box with a starry, botanical design holds three products that tend to the scalp, including an exfoliating treatment, a balancing shampoo, and a nourishing conditioner. The brand’s signature, spa-like scent wafts serenely out of the box before the products have even been opened. Pro tip: Bundle the gift set with the limited-edition cosmetic bag, which bears enchanting Altuzarra designs inspired by a night-booming garden.
Moroccanoil
Holiday Repair Hair Set
Give the gift of flyaway-free hair with this winsome set. Decked with dreamy, Moroccan-inspired design from artist Jayde Cardinalli, the set holds frizz-taming, shine-boosting shampoo and conditioner. It also includes a bottle of the classic Moroccanoil treatment, an argan-oil-powered blend that’s like liquid gold for the hair.
Crown Affair
The Set
Crown Affair founder Dianna Cohen takes a mindful approach to haircare. “Brushing my hair is a calming part of my ritual in the way that I might do a five-minute journal or foam roll,” she once told Vogue. This set—stocked with a boar-bristle brush, a hand-carved comb, a quick-drying hair towel, and the brand’s tsubaki-seed-infused serum—encourages users to smooth their strands with the same focused intention. It also comes with a three-minute jade timer, to encourage languid hair-brushing or just a peaceful pause in the middle of the day.
Snow Fox Skincare
Gua Sha Hair and Scalp Brush
The benefits of scalp massage are numerous. In addition to promoting lighter, buildup-free roots, boosted hair volume, and increased circulation in the scalp, the tools provide a relaxing sensory experience that’s hard to resist. Snow Fox Skincare’s gua sha brush is embedded with 150, 24-karat gold-plated titanium needles. Handmade by Taiwanese artisans, the tool sweeps across the scalp and through the hair with a featherlight, tingle-inducing touch— it’s a small wonder that it sold out several times.
La Bonne Brosse
No. 1 The Universal Hair Brush
Vogue senior shopping editor Talia Abbas swears by No. 1 The Universal Hair Brush—and she knows a thing or two about superior brushes. “Some people love jade rollers, others LED face masks,” she’s written. “For me, it’s fancy brushes. My current go-to is this one from La Bonne Brosse—chic and with just the right amount of heft.” Handcrafted in France with keratin-rich, natural boar bristles, the tool is suitable (and giftable) for all hair types.
Oribe
Gold Lust Collection
Iconic hairstylist Oribe Canales had a magic touch that kept his clients—Jennifer Lopez, Rihanna, and Penélope Cruz, to name a few—hooked on his hands and his products. This limited-edition set holds shampoo, conditioner, and hair oil from Oribe’s Gold Lust collection. The products uphold the hair legend’s legacy by gracing manes with shine, smoothness, and softness; not to mention, the brand’s jasmine-perfumed signature scent. The set is especially nurturing on dry, damaged, or frizzy hair, though it has the golden touch on all types.
Rōz
The Healthy Hair Kit
Founded by celebrity hairstylist Mara Roszak, who uses her products on the likes of Emma Stone, Rōz is known for clean, salon-quality products. Stocked with the Foundation shampoo and conditioner, which harness ceramides, pea peptides, and botanical ingredients to strengthen the hair and boost shine, the set also includes the Willow Glen Treatment Oil and the Santa Lucia Styling Oil. The latter was the brand’s debut product, and still a hero: It nourishes the hair, creates smooth styles, and smells like a wildflower garden.
Living Proof
Dry Stylers Bundle
This trio of travel-sized products makes for expert dry-styling on the go. The Jennifer Aniston-approved brand filled the set with its finishing hairspray, volume, and texture spray, and the Perfect Hair Day dry shampoo that’s long had a place on Vogue’s favorites list. Infused with a patented molecule that reduces frizz-causing friction in the hair, the dry shampoo doesn’t just soak up oil, odor, and sweat; it effectively removes them from the strands.
Korean Beauty Gifts
Korean skincare is renowned for its ritualistic approach to creating a glass-skin glow. Infused with groundbreaking ingredients that often catch on stateside after their effects have been proven—via lit-from-within, practically poreless skin—K-beauty makes a welcome gift for any beauty-lover.
Belif
Dive Into Hydration Set
Belif’s Aqua Bomb— a deeply hydrating gel cream—was one of the first Korean beauty products to make a splash stateside. In this giftable set, the cult classic is packaged with a jelly cleanser, an eye cream, and a hydrating toner, which form the perfect regime for keeping skin soft and dewy all winter long.
Peach & Lily
Party Pout Lip Kit
The set holds two staples for soft, pillowy lips with a holiday-inspired twist. Two Collagen Cushion Peptide Lip Balms, infused with skin-loving ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and ceramides, are included. One balm is clear; the other one is in a festive (and limited-edition!) Sugar Plum hue.
TIRTIR
Mask Fit Red Cushion
Now available in 40 shades, the viral cushion foundation provides up to 72 hours of lightweight coverage. With a semi-matte finish that leaves the skin looking dewy and fresh, the non-creasing formula is buildable and transfer-proof. What’s more, its signature, egg-shaped compact is easy to stow in a purse or bag.
CosRx
All About Snail Kit
The Emily Ratajkowski-approved brand pairs four of its glass-skin-activating products in this travel-friendly kit. Powered by snail mucin—which hydrates and plumps the skin—the set holds a cleanser, a peptide eye cream, and an all-in-one cream, along with its viral Snail Mucin Essence.
Glow Recipe
Soothe, Brighten, + Glow Trio
Packed with fruity products to give the skin a festive glow, Glow Recipe’s candy-colored set contains three of its popular serums. Gift the Guava Vitamin C Dark Spot Serum, Avocado Ceramide Recovery Serum, and cult-classic Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops in one go, or divide them among giftees to use as targeted stocking stuffers.
Sulwhasoo
Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Serum Set
Sulwhasoo’s signature ingredient, ginseng, is like a Swiss army knife for common skin-care concerns: It brightens, reduces inflammation, helps the skin maintain hydration, and more. The concentrated herb infuses the serums, eye cream, and anti-aging face cream in this limited-edition set. According to the brand, using the products for just four weeks will firm and lift the skin while smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles.
Beauty of Joseon
Hanbang Serum Discovery Kit
Beloved for its gentle yet efficacious serums, Beauty of Joseon has paired-back formulations that feature natural ingredients such as ginseng and green tea. In the brand’s discovery kit, the beloved Glow Serum—a honey-like salve for acne and dark spots—comes with three other targeted treatments. The Revive Serum brings radiance back to dull skin; the Calming Serum soothes irritation; and the Glow Deep Serum minimizes the appearance of dark spots while evening out the skin tone.
Mediheal
The N.M.F. Ampoule Mask
Powered by minerals, hyaluronic acid, and amino acids, Mediheal’s hydrating mask earned the title of “Best Sheet Mask” on Vogue’s list of the best korean skincare products of 2024. A quick fix for dry, lackluster skin, the mask provides a 20-minute moisture surge that leaves the complexion radiating a soft, supple glow.
