The Christmas season is here guys! This is my favorite time of the year since I was a kid, I absolutely love to go shopping at this time and see all the lights and decorations and buy gifts for my family, friends, and myself.
Maybe you have someone in your life you want to spend more with or you can spend more money on gifts so if you need inspiration, here is a guide for you to get ideas for your presents.
Let´s start with beauty:
Advent calendars are a great gift because you can open all of them at the same time or open each door each day from December 1 until December 25. If you need inspiration I have an article about the best calendars this year so I recommend you to read it. This is also a great gift because of the value and because you get to try new products, you get some of your favorites and just the experience is amazing. I buy the Sephora one every year since 2020 and because the first two years we were on a pandemic I feel like it just made Christmas feel more like Christmas every day. I really want to buy different ones in the future because I see another one that is also amazing so that's something I am going to absolutely do.
Not only the beauty ones are great but also the wine, food, and jewelry ones too like Swarovski.
Skincare:
Who doesn't love to receive their favorite luxury cream or a beautiful set from their favorite brand that is only available at this time of the year? I love it even if I receive 5 of them and buy another 3 just because it is something that you know you are gonna use and on Christmas, the packages are beautiful so you just need to buy it. My recommendations are:
The Drunk Elephant sets are amazing because you can choose which one you want based on the result or necessity like if want to firm the skin get the Firmy one or if you need hydration get the Dewy one. You get mini products and one or two full sizes. This brand is a favorite of a lot of people and you get it for around 90€.
Kora Organics is a brand of organic skincare founded by the model Miranda Kerr. This set comes with a full size of their best-seller moisturizer, the Tumeric one, and the refillable cream.
It's great for everyone who loves clean beauty and wants to give their face a glow. The price is 75€.
This set from Dr. Dennis Gross costs 94€ and comes with a full-size hydrating moisturizer, a mini cleanser and 10 of their daily peels which are the best sellers of the brand.
Charlotte Tilbury is an OG makeup brand used by every supermodel and makeup artist. Their makeup products are great and a lot of people love their skincare ones too. This set is 85€ and comes with a serum, eye cream, and face cream.
The Clarins serums are very good, great for anti-aging and they are present on the gift baskets by Poosh a lot. The first one is a best seller from the brand, the price is between 90 and 140€ according to the size. The second one is a set that comes with a full-size serum and moisturizer.
This is a great set to offer someone that loves natural, organic beauty products. It comes with an Essence, a face and eye serum, and oil (the best seller). The price is 190€.
The Augustinus Bader rich cream and oil are very famous for how good they are and they are always seen on videos like Vogue beauty Secrets used by celebrities. I personally love the oil it's very rich and nourishing and leaves a beautiful glow on the skin. This set is great because everyone that loves the brand loves the rich cream and you not only receive the full size face one but also the body cream. It costs 340€.
The Estée Lauder holiday sets are always great because first, you get 4, or 5 products and a beauty bag, second because you can get the ones with makeup and skincare, only skincare or only makeup, third because of the value and last because you get to choose if you want the antiaging ones, the antioxidant ones, I personally love the blue creams (antioxidant) and use it a lot. This set costs lit more than 100€.
I mean who doesn't love Barbara Sturm products? It's the aesthetic, the quality, certainly not the price but some of them I think really deserve the hype, not the HA serum, that one I don't agree with the price because the formula is too simple and you have so many good options on the market for even 10€ that do the same. This set comes with a full-size vitamin c serum and a mini sunscreen. The price is 212€.
Even though I have so many other recommendations, I am just beginning so let's finish the skincare category here.
Makeup:
This is always a good present because you don't need to know the skin type of the person as much as skincare, there are always great sets at this time.
This Dior set comes with a beauty bag, two lip balms, a cream, and perfume. if you know a Dior beauty lover, this is the gift. It just came out and it is already viral everywhere. It costs 80€. It's a very glamorous and chic gift with great products and a beautiful blue bag. It is great for any age, no matter if it's a teenager or a 70-year-old woman.
The OG makeup artist Pat Mcgrath has her own luxury brand. The palettes are great because they have lots of nudes so you don't risk a lot, everyone needs a nude palette. The quality is amazing and the price is 148€.
This is one of the best face palettes on the market. This Hourglass product comes with 3 powders, one highlighter, and 2 blushes. You can also get the bronzer one, the two are great. It costs 80€ and is a must for how natural it makes your makeup look. If you prefer you can also buy the individual powders for 30 or 50€ depending on the size.
The new face palettes from Charlotte Tilbury are going viral everywhere. The glow this makeup brand gives your face is insane, it is definitely the supermodel glow makeup and. you get a highlighter, two blushes, and a glowy blush. it costs 75€.

Makeup brushes are essentials in a beauty collection and these ones from Rose Inc are great, they are so soft and in this set, you get the essential ones and a neutral case to travel or just keep them on your table. It costs 80€.
Rosie HW is my biggest style inspiration. I love her style, her house decoration, her beauty philosophy, her lifestyle, and her makeup look. She is so sweet and an iconic model. When she came out with her beauty brand I just knew it would be amazing. Her formulas are great and so soft, the colors are stunning, and the price is not high. These lipsticks are great for everyday looks and she came out with this set of various lipstick colors. You get 10 full-size lipsticks for 220€ in this set.
This 90€ beauty set from the clean beauty brand Rose Inc comes with a minimalist bag that you can use as a beauty bag or a pouch bag on your looks, a full-size blush, a full-size brow gel, and a full-size concealer.
Wellness:
This is a category that many of us love. Taking care of ourselves was always something needed but right now thankfully is something we all are paying more attention to. A lot of lifestyle magazines came out and started to prioritize self-care. Keep reading to know the best wellness gifts to buy this year.
These positive affirmation cards written by a doctor are the perfect gift for everyone, they can keep them in the bedroom and read one or two every morning or keep them in the bag and get a reminder throughout the day to boost their energy. This costs 40$ and you can buy it on the Goop website.
This Goop detox set comes with a body dry brush (which promotes circulation, exfoliates, and helps reduce and prevent cellulite), a reset guide with detox recipes, 7 gut microbiomes powders to help with gut health, bloating, and digestion, 7 detoxifying powder that provide antioxidant support to the cells against free radicals, 7 reset protein powders with no flavor, and 7 cereal reset blend high in fiber. This set is priced 195$.
Everyone loves and needs a diffuser in their house, especially in the bedroom. I love aromatherapy, when I started having a lot of anxiety and panic attacks I needed medication to help, but then after a year things started to get better and I knew how to control my anxiety better so I was gifted a diffuser with lavender essential oils and I can't live without it now, every morning I put a relaxing or energizing oil inside and while I get ready the diffuser works and I feel very good, at night I use it when I am reading or doing a face massage with a gua sha on the bed or light therapy and feel relaxed. Aromatherapy is great not only to relax but also to make your house smell great. This diffuser is neutral so it will look good in any house. The price is 123$.
Beauty tools are essentials in my opinion, a vibrating one, a gua sha, a face roller, whatever it is you need. You do your skincare add a rich cream or face oil and massage your face with it, you feel relaxed, your face looks snatched and it makes such a difference if you use it daily for weeks. The vibrating tools are the best in my opinion because it is more relaxing and makes a difference in less time than the others. This gold one you can shop it on the Goop site and the price is 195$.
This Guided Journal set is 120$ and you get 6 journals to help your mindfulness journal. Journaling has been getting more and more attention and helps a lot of people to feel more productive, positive, grateful, relaxed, and organized. Some journals have all the categories in one and in some others, you can get one for only gratitude for example so you write what you are grateful for and answer the questions that make you think and appreciate the little things in life. This set comes with health, self-esteem, acceptance, abundance, dreams, and courage journals. This is the perfect gift to help people live their best every day.
These two sets from Foreo are the best gift for every skin-obsessed girl. I have the Ufo LED and the Luna devices and they are game changers, especially the LED one. First, they are smaller than most of these kinds of devices, second, they are not as expensive and they are silicone ones so it is easier to clean them. The first set comes with a serum and a mask, the LED device, and the lifting microcurrent device. The other one comes with a cleaning device and an LED one and also with a mask and cleanser. This gift is great, everyone would be happy to receive it. The price for the first one is 310€ and the second one is 250€.
This mini massaging tool is great to travel with, keep it in the bag during the day. We all need a massage sometimes, we are all very tense nowadays with work and life being so stressful and we can't always go to a professional, sometimes it's a Sunday night and you feel pain in your back and you know a massage will help you a lot so having this kind of tools in the house is a must. You can anytime give yourself a little self-care massaging moment. This mini tool is 200€.
Candles are great gifts for everyone, not only for how pretty they look in the house but also for how relaxing they make the ambiance of a house look and feel. I grew up always having candles in my house every night, my mom is obsessed with candles, and I love them too.
Everyone likes candles, especially sets of beautifully scented candles. These Mason Margiela ones are beautiful, they are neutral so not only look pretty on your house, but when they burn to the end you can use the glasses to put your makeup lip liners, and brushes on your vanity. The price is 85$.
Decoration:
This category is one of the best ones if you don't really now the preferences of the person or if they are very stay-at-home people that love a beautiful, glamorous, and cozy home.
This is a chic and luxurious office set with an answered q&a by MARCEL PROUST on gold paper, 12 note cards with the Proust logo, and a part to write. This set is priced at 120€ on the Area store.
This 75€ book set from Channel is the perfect gift for fashion and decoration lovers. You get 3 books with Channel looks and stories and designs. You can get it on Area.
This Maximalism decoration book is the perfect gift for decoration lovers. I love to buy and receive design books, they look great on a coffee table, and they have beautiful images and ideas to get inspiration. This is 95€.
This minimalist white and gold 16-piece set is great to gift everyone, it looks good in any decoration, has the essentials, and is very good quality. This is 340€ from Gato Preto.
I am obsessed with this plate set from Gato Preto, these plates are so stunning with beautiful animals and winter landscapes black and white with a little gold. If you offer this to anyone you will be their favorite person. This is 80€ for 2 people set. The cake plate is the most beautiful of the collection in my opinion and is 70€ and the tea set is 20€. You can buy all the pieces or just parts of them.
This stunning 245€ Versace plate is an amazing gift to give to a Versace lover or a Decoration lover. I don't think I need to say anything, just looking at it says it all.
Fashion:
Now let's go to the last category that many of us love and opt to gift. Clothes, shoes, and bags are great if you know the person very well. There are things that are very personal like perfume but this one is a little easier even though you need to know the size and the style and all of that.
This Zara home robe is a beautiful chic home wear staple. It costs more than 100€ and the quality is great, not to talk about how minimalistic and pretty it is, You can't go wrong with this right?
These pink platform 900€ Valentino shoes are the shoes of the year. Everyone is obsessed with them, there are other colors and dresses to combine them.
These boots from The Row are super casual and of good quality. They are a must-have this winter because they look great with any casual daily outfit. The 1400€ boots are used by celebrities like Hailey Bieber and Rosie HW, two style queens so if this isn't enough to make you want to buy them, I don't know what is.
This Totême white coat is great for winter fashion lovers. It is very classic, casual, and chic, you can wear it with everything and slay at the time that you are warm and comfortable. And we love to be pretty and comfortable right?
You can get it on Net-a-Porter for 2000€. And let me tell you this you can keep it for years and years because it is very simple and casual.
This Max Mara coat is the one item you need in your collection forever. It's neutral, basic, classic, and casual, good quality. If you are going to buy a cloth luxurious item it's this kind of coat in neutral coats. The price is 2100€.
These bags are some of the luxurious bags everyone needs in their collection. They are neutral, classic, elegant, and casual. They look good in any outfit, are very good quality and you can keep them for years and keep using them for 30 years. The first one is 550€, the second one is 2500€, the third is 2600€, the next one is 2700€, the other one is 1900€ and the last YSL one is 2450€.
These are all the luxurious suggestions I have for you, I could keep going but it is already a very long list so I stopped here. I hope you got inspired and treat yourself to some of them or gift them to someone you love. Merry Christmas!
