The 16 Best Holiday Beauty Sets to Gift This Year...or Keep for Yourself

Here’s a gift even your too-cool cousin will appreciate: a trio of Kosas’ best-selling lip oils. Loaded with hyaluronic acid, peptides and evening primrose oil, this lip treatment plumps, hydrates and smoothes your pout. Whether they’re into a cherry red or a rich brown, each oil in the set offers a high-shine finish and a pop of color without drying out.

If your giftee is ready to revamp their skincare routine, look no further than this SkinCeuticals set. It features their legendary C E Ferulic treatment, a vitamin C serum that PureWow readers and editors love to have in their regimen. Add a bottle of Resveratrol B E (a night face serum) and a tub of A.G.E. Interrupter (a corrective cream) to the mix and you've got the ultimate trifecta for brightening and plumping skin. 

Want to get your bestie on the clean beauty train? Give them this kit from Indie Lee. This way, they can sample some of their best-selling products like the brightening cleanser, toner and facial oil. The brand focuses on natural, naturally-derived and organic ingredients, and the products in this kit come in travel sizes so they can keep them on their beauty counter or take them on the go. 

Multiple PureWow staffers swear by GrandeLASH-MD Lash Enhancing Serum, so when I saw that this set includes a full-size bedazzled tube of the formula, I couldn’t hit add to cart fast enough. You’ll also find three mini sizes of the GrandeBROW, GrandeDRAMA mascara and GrandeLIPS (along with the GrandeBUFF to exfoliate and prep your pout). Yup, this is definitely a gift I’m going to want to slip into my own stocking.

If you (or someone in your life) has been debating getting an Airwrap, this limited edition version just might be the sign you were waiting for to finally make the investment. Not only is the strawberry bronze shade a joy to look at, it also comes with six versatile attachments to dry, curl or straighten your hair. Whereas most tools on the market rely on higher heat settings to style your strands, Dyson gets the job done using "Coanda airflow" to create a smoother finish without causing as much damage.

Have a skincare fanatic on your list? Get them this curated set from Dermstore in honor of the brand’s 25th anniversary. It includes everything from a gentle clarifying face wash to a nourishing conditioner. The bundle features $826 worth of products from dermatologist and editor-approved brands like Obagi, SkinCeuticals and iS Clinical for just $175. (Handy travel bag included).

Any nail salon devotee will be over the moon to receive this comprehensive at-home manicure set. With six trending shades that are curated by the nail experts at Olive & June, the festive box comes with everything you'd need to create a pro-level mani— from polish remover to nail clippers and a clean-up brush for any mistakes. Bonus: Each winter mani system also comes with a cute cookie tin. 

One look at this colorful set of sprays and you might not be able to tell that they're hand sanitizers. Rest assured, the formula features 70 percent USP grade ethyl alcohol to kill up to 99 percent of most common germs and bacteria, as well as aloe vera to keep your hands from drying out—even after repeated use. The scents and pretty packaging will offer a nice upgrade to your hypochondriac pal's sterile-looking (and smelling) squeeze bottle.

This limited-edition set features a 35-day supply of Dr. Dennis Gross’s iconic Alpha Beta Peel Pads at a fraction of their typical price. Featuring glycolic, salicylic and lactic acids, the formula works to smooth texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. And in the spirit of giving, it also comes with a 60-day supply of the Alpha Beta Extra Strength Pads for when you need an extra boost, say, before the New Year's Eve party—or any of the weddings you've already RSVP'd to next year.

Stumped on what to get your makeup-obsessed niece? You can’t go wrong with this custom set, which includes full-size bestsellers from ILIA, including the skin tint, mascara, eye tint and lip crayon (with sharpener included). Prepare to claim your title as the coolest aunt ever, especially since this set comes in an ultra-cool, artist-designed gift box. 

Fact: Gift sets are a solid last-minute option because they're often so beautifully packaged that they don't require any wrapping. I recommend this gorgeous body care set for that person in your life who you're never quite sure what to give. The set (valued at $112) includes the brand's iconic Bum Bum Cream, as well as a body wash, body scrub, body oil and perfume mist—all in their Cheirosa 62 scent, which is an inviting caramel and pistachio gourmand.

While I love the advent calendar, I can’t help myself from eyeing this minis set filled with Laneige’s best-selling lip masks. It has all the deliciously scented favorites like Berry, Gummy Bear and Watermelon Pop. Formulated with a berry mix complex, coconut oil, shea butter and murumuru seed butter, they’ll make your lips feel (and look) smoother and supple all season long. 

Here at PureWow, we love the Grace & Stella energizing eye masks—and now, you can score all three of their best-sellers in this Welcome to the Feel Good Club set. It comes with the energizing, moisturizing and illuminating eye masks to tackle any of your under-eye woes. Whether you’re gifting it or treating yourself, the combo comes with 72 pairs to last you well into 2025. 

If you’re looking for a fragrance set, this one from Phlur should be on your wishlist. This limited edition set contains three viral scents, starting with Missing Person, a blend of musk and fruity florals that Assistant Editor Delia Curtis describes as the “feeling of being wrapped in a warm hug by your mom.” You’ll also find Vanilla Skin, a sweet and woody scent, along with Father Figure, a floral heavy fragrance.  

I’m fully aware that Augustinus Bader is a bit on the pricey side. However, this system has a value of $234 for about half of the price. The set of three products includes The Cream Cleansing Gel, The Essence and the beloved Rich Cream. Each contains the brand’s signature TFC8 formula as well as vitamin E and salicylic acid to repair and renew your skin. For the holiday, this one will be a favorite for mom—trust me.
