Holiday Gift Guide 2025: The Best Beauty Products For Everyone On Your List

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links.

When it comes to holiday gifting, you can rarely go wrong with beauty products. However, as much as it would be easy to buy everyone the same gift set from the beauty supply, the reality is not all skincare or hair care is meant for everyone. After all, you wouldn't buy your teenage sister a cream formulated for mature skin. Your grandmother also isn't likely to take interest in whatever gimmicky, highly-scented fruit serum is all over TikTok. 

With December quickly approaching, it's time to curate a gift list for all the fabulous folks in your life who are in need of some self care. There's nothing like watching a loved one beam in delight as they open a carefully thought-out present. But they don't ever have to know that you didn't spend hours on the internet or at the mall. With our suggestions, you'll be done with your holiday shopping in no time, and you can sit back and enjoy a cup of hot chocolate while watching "It's a Wonderful Life" for the millionth time.

An LED face mask will leave your mom's face glowing

If you're looking to splurge on the perfect beauty gift for mom, an LED mask is the way to go. Many younger folks have hopped on the LED mask trend, but it's especially beneficial for older women, as red light therapy can boost collagen and, in turn, help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, per the Cleveland Clinic. The Omnilux Contour Face mask is a popular option that retails for $395, and while it's pretty pricey, it promises to diminish lines and discoloration. In fact, Paris Hilton is a fan of this particular brand, and she told The Strategist, "I use it three times a week. If I'm on business calls where I'm not on-camera, I'll be lying there with it."

For a more wallet-friendly alternative, you can gift your mom an Inia LED mask that's about $90 on Amazon. This one has both red and blue light, so she can tailor her at-home spa session according to her skin's needs. While red light blasts wrinkles, blue light therapy helps with acne and sun damage, according to Healthline. And bonus: whenever you visit your mom, you can do a quick session of your own, so this will be the gift that keeps on giving.

Show your BFF some love with an elevated nail polish set

Nail polishes are the one beauty item that you can't ever have enough of, as you need a color for every season, mood, and trend. While we love fun, bright nails for welcoming spring, Londontown's Sophisticate Collection has gorgeous, muted neutral shades that are perfect for winter. The six-piece set comes with creamy white, dusty pink, deep rose, and a warm cappuccino color that will totally elevate your bestie's digits. Also included is a base coat that allows you to prep your nails for the perfect polish application, as well as a top coat to seal the product.

At $52 for the set, each polish is roughly over $8, which is quite a bargain, as Londontown sells individual colors for $16. And speaking of saving money, having your BFF do her nails at home means that she won't be spending a chunk of her paycheck at the salon. We guarantee this gift is going to be a holiday hit.

Treat your grandmother to royal-approved skin care

As you age, it's important to adjust your skincare to cater to mature skin, which is why your grandmother will love Tatcha's luxe set, with products that contain hyaluronic acid and squalene. If she's been dying to try the brand after Meghan Markle touted it as one of her go-tos, your granny is in luck. This set comes with two different moisturizers and cleansers, as well as a lip mask that are all fan-fave products. The smaller sizes will allow her to test out the formulas without commitment, and when she zeroes in on the best ones for her skin, she can get the full size.

If your grandmother is a traveler, this set is just for her, as each product is well under three ounces. And, it comes in a cute purple plastic bag, so she can just stick the lot in her suitcase. You can purchase this crowd-pleasing gift at Sephora for $65, which is such a great price that you may be tempted to get one for yourself.

Wow your mother-in-law with a luxurious silk pillowcase

Picking out a gift for your partner's mom is a bit tricky, as you may not be as close to her as your own family, but you have to win her over with something more than a scarf. Instead, dazzle her with a silk pillowcase that'll have her feeling rested, while rejuvenating her skin as she gets her beauty sleep. When it comes to silk, there are different standards, and your mother-in-law will be impressed when you present her with the best of the best, which is mulberry. Quince currently has theirs on sale for $44.90, which is about half off as of this writing, so be sure to snag a pair quickly.

Silk pillowcases aren't just great for preventing wrinkles on your face, but they also fight frizz and leave you with smoother hair. Quince's are oh-so pretty to look at, with 18 soothing colors to choose from, and three size options. Our suggestion is to put the pillowcase in a lovely gift box with some holiday-inspired tissue paper and wrap it in a colorful bow. She'll be raving about how thoughtful and lovely you are to all her friends post-holiday.

How we curated our list of the best beauty products to give this season

Because many don't often splurge on luxe items, it's always nice to give our loved ones something indulgent, especially during the holidays. While coming up with our list, we carefully thought of what beauty products would be fitting for our circle's age ranges, as well as items they may not already have, such as an LED face mask. We also made sure to find products with different price points to accommodate every budget. The holidays should be about cheer and not stressing over presents, and we're sure that at least one of the gifts on our list is sure to spark joy.
