The holiday season is upon us, so your calendar may fill up with Secret Santa, gift swaps, and holiday parties. Finding your friends the perfect gifts can be stressful, but it doesn’t have to be. Below are some personalized ideas for each friend, no matter their interests. 

For the Beauty Guru

We all have a best friend that we go to for makeup and skincare advice. Gift them Hailee Bieber’s cult lip product that has been getting rave reviews. The Rhode Peptide Lip Tints will keep their lips glossy and moisturized all winter!

If they are more into skincare, treat them to this five-piece face mask set that will cover all their skin needs.

For the Fashionista 

For the friend who doesn’t leave their room without a chic fit, set them up for winter with a warm beanie that will go with all their looks.

A fashionista’s wardrobe is incomplete without a pair (or a few) of basic gold hoops, so if hats aren’t their style, try them.

For the Wellness Junkie

Is your friend always hopping on the latest wellness trend? Spruce their self-care nights with these nourishing eye masks and relaxation pillow spray that will leave them looking and feeling rested and restored. 

For the BookWorm

With winter break coming up, your bookworm friend may be looking for a good read to delve into. Emma Cline’s The Guest, described as “spellbinding” by Vogue, will have them unable to set the book down.

If they are a pop culture fanatic, get them Britney Spears’ buzzy memoir, The Woman in Me. 

For the Homebody

For the friend who always opts for a cozy night in over the party, gift them these buttery soft Barefoot Dreams socks or a chunky throw blanket that will be perfect for their movie nights.

For the Outdoorsy Friend

If your friend is going to spend winter break hiking or having picnics al fresco, they may need a sturdy water bottle and a durable bag.

This Hydroflask will keep their water cool for the entire hike, and this L.L. Bean tote will haul all their picnic must-haves. 

For the Fitness Buff

If your friend is an avid runner, make sure they can carry their keys, phone, and cards with this lightweight Lululemon belt bag.

For friends who can’t resist an outdoor game of soccer or pickleball, this sweat-proof sunscreen kit will keep them protected all game long.

For the Foodie

If your friend prefers the kitchen to the dining hall, give them this college cookbook filled with simple and accessible but also delicious recipes.

Treat your friend with a sweet tooth to this luxurious box of Paris macarons from the famed Ladurée bakery.
