The holiday season is quickly approaching, so I designed this post to help you cross as many names as possible off your holiday gift list. Whether you are buying early or at the very last minute, it’s reassuring when you can find a gift that you know your recipient will love.
In today’s post, I wanted to create a gift guide of tried and true beauty and personal care gifts for the beauty lover that you can easily order online.
This post contains affiliate links, and any purchases made through these links will result in a commission for me at no extra cost to you. Please read my Disclosure for additional information.
Most of these gifts are available on Amazon. Are you an Amazon Prime member? It really pays to take advantage of the program which provides 2-day and sometimes even 1-day shipping on millions of items.
During the holiday season, Prime memberships will come in even more handy since there always seems to be a quick gift or something that you need that you don’t have time to run out for! You can try out a 30-day Amazon Prime Free Trial here.
Onto the goods! I must admit, I spent way too much time on Amazon scouring the site for some fun and unique beauty inspired gifts. Here you’ll find skincare, makeup, bath & body, fragrance gifts, and even a few gifts for the men in your life. Scroll down to the end of the post for some fun stocking stuffers!
Sunday Riley Flash Fix Kit
We start with skincare. Sunday Riley Flash Fix Kit contains travel sizes of Sunday Riley’s cult-favorite Good Genes Lactic Acid Treatment and Ceramic Slip Cleanser. Cleanse, exfoliate, and brighten your skin with these two products that will clarify your complexion.

Lactic acid is an alpha-hydroxy acid that is a chemical exfoliator that removes dead skin cells to reveal brighter, smoother skin for improved radiance and more even skin texture.
For more on Good Genes, I wrote an entire post about Good Genes and wanting to find a few inexpensive alternatives for this very effective product.

T3 SinglePass Curl 1.25 Inch Professional Curling Iron
T3 SinglePass Curl 1.25 Inch Professional Curling Iron is designed to produce perfect curls every time. Over the years, I’ve purchased many lower-priced curling irons and I haven’t found one that I love, so this curling iron is on my wishlist. While T3 products are an investment, they are well made and last longer than budget hair tools.
This curling iron has five heat settings and heats up between 260°F – 410°F. Their SinglePass Curl technology has an internal microchip that maintains the desired temperature across the Custom Blend Ceramic barrel and creates frizz-free curls in just one pass. The barrel also seals the hair cuticle quickly for shine.
Rotating Makeup Organizer
This is one of my favorite beauty purchases of last year! This Rotating Makeup Organizer would be the perfect gift for the makeup or skincare lover who needs to get organized for the New Year!! It does its job and makes many beauty products accessible and organized. I keep many of my skincare products on the top of the organizer and I keep both skincare and haircare products on the bottom shelves.
The nice thing is that you can adjust the height of the shelves and really tailor the unit to your exact needs. I use tall shelves for large pump cleansers and haircare products on one side of the organizer and shorter shelves for skincare and products on the other side of the unit. No more rummaging through overstuffed drawers to find your products!
Per the manufacturer, the unit measures 15 in (380 mm) in height and 10.3 in (260 mm) in diameter (base) when assembled. Assembly is pretty easy and all of the pieces come together quickly. The shelves are fastened with rubber rings.
Jack Black Beard Grooming Kit
Let’s not forget about the men in our lives. I sold Jack Black products at my bath and body boutique and Jack Black products, particularly the Beard Lube, were always best sellers. Jack Black Beard Grooming Kit includes three products and a beard comb to keep facial hair well-groomed.
Start with the Beard Wash (1.5 oz) to remove dirt and oil while conditioning the skin, then move onto Beard Lube (1.5 oz). Beard Lube’s transparent formula acts as a 3-in-1: a pre-shave oil, shave cream, and aftershave conditioner for a super smooth shave. Finish with the Beard Oil (1 oz) which will treat dry and itchy skin and ingrown hairs with its certified organic natural oils for a healthy beard.
Armani 5 Piece Set For Men
What a great variety of scents in this set! Armani 5 Piece Set For Men contains mini versions of the following colognes: Eau De Toilette Of Emporio Armani Diamonds (0.14 oz), Acqua Di Gio (0.17 oz), Armani Code (0.14 oz), Armani (0.24 oz) and Acqua Di Gio Profumo Eau De Parfum (0.17 oz) by Giorgio Armani.
This sampler is a great way to try these popular men’s colognes without paying full price for each cologne. A great value!

These are quick and easy gifts that you can save for the stocking, use as Secret Santa gifts, or give to family, friends or even colleagues at work. Also, keep these budget-friendly gifts in mind for teacher gifts!

Real Techniques Everyday Essentials Makeup Brush Set
I adore Real Techniques brushes and makeup blending sponges. The brushes are so soft and stand up to wash after wash. The same goes for their makeup blending sponges. They apply and blend makeup and concealer smoothly and are super soft. Real Techniques Everyday Essentials includes:
- Blush Brush – perfect for applying blush and powder.
- Expert Face Foundation Brush – for applying liquid or cream foundation.
- Deluxe Crease Brush – for applying cream and powder eyeshadows to the eye crease.

Foreside Home & Garden Foreside Mini Enamel Bathtub Soap Dish, Black
No doubt I would have sold this soap dish in my store if it was available at the time. This soap dish is reminiscent of a vintage clawfoot tub and measures 5.5” x 2.75” x 2.75.
Pair this metal clawfoot tub soap dish with a Pre de Provence or Primal Elements bar soap below. Then wrap it up with a bow, and you have the cutest gift for friends and family. I think this would make an especially cute teacher gift!
Pre De Provence Artisanal French Soap Bar Enriched With Shea Butter, Honey Almond, 250 Gram
Pre de Provence soaps were given an entire wall in my bath and body boutique. They flew off the shelves and for good reason. These bars are a large 250 grams (8.8 oz) and are hard soap bars that last. They come in a huge variety of scents as well.
The scent shown above is Honey Almond and it has exfoliating grains in it. Check out over 30 scents here. A few best-selling scents were Linden, Agrumes, Lavender, Milk and Verbena. You can also purchase the soap in a smaller 150-gram (5.3 oz) size.
These soaps are the perfect complement to the vintage clawfoot tub soap dish! Add the soap to the soap dish and wrap them in a bow and they are ready for giving!
Primal Elements Handmade Glycerin Bar Soap
Primal Elements Handmade Glycerin Bar Soap is always nice to have on hand, especially during the holidays. They make such cute designs and the soaps smell wonderful too. The vegan bars (5.8 oz) contain 25% vegetable glycerin and produce a rich lather.
The Holiday bar above contains notes of orange peel, nutmeg, clove, and cinnamon. So festive! Pair with a soap dish like the clawfoot tub above. Or wrap it up in a bow and give it as a gift all by itself.
Kneipp Mineral Bath Salts – Dream Away with Valerian & Hops
Give the gift of relaxation and indulgence with Kneipp Mineral Bath Salts (17.63 oz). A brand that I love for the bath, Kneipp makes the dreamiest bath products. These bath salts contain valerian oil and hops extract for relaxation in the bath and to promote a good night’s sleep. Valerian and hops are a combination that has been used for hundreds of years. They help combat stress, anxiety and support relaxation.
Other available scents are Eucalyptus, perfect for the cold and flu season, muscle soothing Juniper, and for a mental detox Red Poppy & Hemp.
For a calming bath oil, Kneipp Lavender Herbal Bath Oil is pure relaxation!
Final Thoughts on 20 Holiday Gifts for the Beauty Lover on Your List
I could go on and on, but I have to stop somewhere! This variety of price points should give you an idea of gifts that you can give ranging from stocking stuffers to luxe treats.
