My 21 Favorite Beauty Holiday Gift Sets of 2023

One of my favorite things about the holiday season is the cute beauty gift sets that start appearing on the shelves of my favorite stores.

I love buying sets year-round as a chance to get a bundle of a brand’s products at a slight discount but there’s just something about the shiny packaging that makes them feel extra special this time of the year.

As a beauty content creator, you know that I’m always testing products to find the best of the best deals for you and this year I’m proud to present my top recommendations of holiday beauty gift sets for 2023.

From hair products to skincare favorites, you’ll find something for everyone on your list.

These gift sets also vary in price so if you’re on a budget or thinking about splurging there are options for all.

My 21 Favorite Beauty Holiday Gift Sets of 2023

Skincare Holiday Gift Sets

Ole Henriksen Hygge Hotel Body Care Set, $48

This brand knows skincare and they also understand the Scandinavian concept of hygge better than anyone. I love this hand cream and body oil duo and the adorable packaging. 

Tatcha Plumping Dewy Skin Essentials, $87

The first time I ever tried Tatcha’s plumping moisturizer I was really blown away. The products are high-end, but if you’re looking to save a little, the total value of this gift set is $124.

Dermalogica Skin Recovery SPF Duo, $79

With one full-size and one travel size product, the recipient of this Dermalogica set will be thrilled to protect their skin.

C.O. Bigelow Mini Lip Kit, $20

There is something so nostalgic about C.O. Bigelow to me. It's the store I grew up going to at the mall and their lip products are the centerpiece, and this cute tree ornament has three iconic flavors. 

Bath & Body Works Lavender Vanilla, $16

There are few things more satisfying than Bath & Body Works Holiday scents and this adorable gift set has several products in soothing lavender vanilla. Perfect for a friend, neighbor or co-worker!

Mario Badescu Winter Essentials Holiday Gift Set, $20

Get some of the signature products from Mario Badescu’s rose line all in one. I am personally a fan of the facial spray, and when you throw in a lip balm and a body soap you’ve got everything you need to perfect your winter skincare routine.

Verso Skincare Retinol Super 8 Serums, $165

I had the pleasure of attending a dinner with the founder of Verso skincare earlier this year and I loved hearing the brand story. If you’re looking to spend a bit more, this serum duo is perfect for gifting and will even fit in a stocking.

Rose-scented beauty products in a tiny bathtub. That’s it—that’s all you need to know about this product.

I am of the belief that Milk Makeup creates some of the most incredible cream products of all time, so for anyone who has yet to experience the joy of a Milk Makeup cream blush, give them two at once. 

Charlotte Tilbury Charlotte’s Superstar Glow Kit, $32

For any glow-getters out there, Charlotte Tilbury is the brand to turn to. Created by a makeup artist, the highly-coveted blush and highlighter are paired together to help bring your holiday party makeup look to life.

Cloud Paint will last you 800 years if you play your cards right, so why not get two shades to test out? A little goes a long way and this adorable holiday gift set gives you Puff (a sweet pink shade) and Rise (a warm-toned brown) to play with.

iNNBEAUTY Project Glaze For Days 4-Piece Lip Oil Set, $48

I am forever obsessed with the iNNBEAUTY Lip Oils and they make a great gift. If you can’t choose just one color, I don’t blame you—but this dreamy gift set gives you four.
