Feeling Generous? These Holiday Gifts Are Worth the Splurge

Everyone appreciates good tidings, but the U Beauty The Preface Set’s combined powers of exfoliation, hydration, and firming in one compact box is sure to beat tradition. This limited-edition gift box contains three of the brand’s most powerful formulas, including its hero Resurfacing Serum, which brightens and smoothes skin with a smart blend of vitamin C, alpha hydroxy acids (glycolic and mandelic), and retinol.

Let’s start with how beautiful the Maison Louis Marie No. 4 Bois de Balincourt Gift Set is. The bundle includes perfume oil, Eau de Parfum, and a votive candle — all of which have an earthy, sandalwood scent to them.

Jennifer Behr Velvet Bow Barrette

If hair bows strictly bring American Girl dolls or Amy March to mind, we’re here to set you straight. This luxe velvet Jennifer Behr Velvet Bow Barrette is classic enough to pair with jeans and a white tee, but can easily gussy up a nap dress with a clip of its barrette (no behind-the-head, blind-tying necessary.) 

If you’re like us, your dresser’s mise-en-scène tends to get cluttered way, way too often. Enter this multipurpose acrylic Emi Jay Vanity Tray, which is as pretty as it is practical. Toss in your jewelry, hair clips, scrunchies, or makeup — or literally anything else that’s out of place. 

Dior Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet Lifestyle Gift Set

Georgia Louise Cryo Freeze Tools

Consider the Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet Lifestyle Gift Set a bouquet of roses, atomized and reformulated. Damascus rose, peony, and white musk give the Blooming Bouquet eau de parfum its fresh floral scent, while the brand’s Rose Hand Cream is infused with hydrating rose water. Throw in a flower-hued lip balm and everything’s coming up…well, you get it.

These icy tools are a skin savior on those puffy mornings after a little too much imbibing on salt, booze, and the like. Georgia Louise, facialist to the stars, created the stainless steel Georgia Louise Cryo Freeze Tools with wellness in mind to lift the face, tighten the complexion, and boost blood circulation to give skin a major glow.
