If you know someone who’s into makeup and skincare, but don’t know exactly what to get them for the holidays, a beauty gift set is a safe bet.
Limited edition beauty sets make great presents when you’re clueless about what to buy someone. They include several products, so your giftee is bound to like at least a few of them. They also come in a nice package, so you might not even have to wrap them.
You can also usually get a pretty great deal—sometimes, you can even get a few deluxe- or full-size items at a much lower price than usual.
If you know someone likes a particular brand, but don’t know which products they like, a gift set from that brand will likely contain at least something they’ll love. The really good sets fly off the shelves, though, so below are a few you might want to get the jump on while you can!
Sol de Janeiro Wild Extravaganza
Sol de Janeiro makes products that smell so deliciously tropical, anyone who uses them immediately feels like they’ve been transported to a sunny beach (even in the middle of winter).
The Wild Extravaganza Set contains some of the company’s best-selling products, including:
- Brazilian Bum Bum Cream
- Brazilian Crush Hair & Body Fragrance Mist
- Brazilian 4 Play Moisturizing Shower Cream-Gel,
- Brazilian Kiss Cupuaçu Lip Butter
Made with coconut oil, cupuaçu butter, and acai oil, the products are all incredibly moisturizing and creamy. The packaging also gives a nod to Brazilian culture. It’s inspired by the colors and costumes of Carnaval and the beauty, power, and grace of the animals in Brazil (hence, the name).
As part of this launch, the company will also make a donation to the Rainforest Action Network to help protect animals at risk in the firestorms in the Amazon rainforest.
Tarte Tartlette Give, Gift, & Get Amazonian Clay Eyeshadow Wardrobe
You almost can’t go wrong gifting eye shadow palettes to someone who loves to wear makeup—they almost always want or need a new one. Tarte’s Amazonian clay eyeshadows are great quality. The clay makes them last longer, while mineral pigments soothe and soften the skin. Vitamin E also acts as an emollient and antioxidant.
The Tartlette Give, Gift, & Get Set includes three different mini palettes with almost any shade anyone could want. One contains shimmery and matte neutrals, another has a collection of pinks, and the third has some darker, brown/orange tones. They’re great for everyday wear, and their small size makes them nice and portable.
Drunk Elephant the Littles 4.0
Drunk Elephant is one of our favorite skincare brands. They make genuinely clean, all-natural products that really work, so even if the price tag is a little higher, it’s worth it. This is one of the more expensive sets on our list, but that’s why the person you gift it to will be so thrilled! He or she will be able to try things out in a smaller size before committing to buying the larger one.
The Littles 4.0 Set comes stocked with some of the company’s best products, including:
- Beste No. 9 Jelly Cleanser
- B-Hydra Hydration Serum
- C-Firma Day Serum
- T.L.C. Framboos Glycolic Night Serum

It leaves hair shiny and smooth with less frizz.

It’s tough to buy shampoo and conditioner for someone, but dry styling products are a bit more versatile and easier to pick out. The Oribe Collection is a really great set of some of the brand’s best products. It includes a full- and travel-size bottle of the Dry Texturizing Spray and a travel-size bottle of the Gold Lust Dry Shampoo.
Oribe’s Dry Texturizing Spray is a favorite because it gives hair body, volume, and the perfect amount of texture, without making it feel sticky or, well, dry. This spray and Gold Lust dry shampoo will extend the life of a salon blowout.
