It’s the most wonderful time of the year: time for guilt-free holiday scrolling and shopping. Okay let’s be honest, all of my year-round shopping is usually guilt-free, but if you’re like me, you spend extra hours browsing through the Nordstrom, Saks, and Bloomingdale’s trending gift guides or researching Black Friday steals to pick out favorites for you and your loved ones. It’s a taxing role, but someone has to be the best gift-giver of the family!
If you’re not like me, and you become quickly frustrated over the number of overwhelming gift options, we’re here to help. Beauty and skincare gifts are always a safe bet when you want to show someone you put effort into their present, but not necessarily break the bank. Plus, everyone loves indulging in some self care, and these gifts are the perfect addition for a stress-free regime. Instead of suffering from post-holiday purchase envy, get ahead of your shopping and find gifts that everyone on your shopping list will love. I’ve compiled a list of eight adorable holiday gift ideas for a lover of all things skincare and beauty — and trust me, these gifts are guaranteed to be repeated purchases.
