Westman Atelier
Unsure what to give the makeup lover? Beauty mogul Gucci Westman suggests the gift of a lip combo. “I don’t leave home without Lip Shape Lip Liner and Lip Suede Matte Lipstick. The formula melts into the lips with vivid, cushiony color—one swipe and you’re done,” Westman told Vogue of her label’s holiday lineup. There are 16 lipstick shades available, from subtle nudes, to dark berries, and bright reds. Meanwhile, the lip liner’s true-to-tone shades set the perfect stage for outlining your pout and preventing feathering.

Hourglass Cosmetics

Skin-Care Gifts
While an appointment with a celebrity esthetician or a world-renowned anti-aging expert would make a luxe stocking stuffer, the next best thing is a thoughtfully curated skin-care gift set. This year’s selection delivers spa-grade experiences at home, featuring products designed to soothe, hydrate, and fight signs of aging. Many sets bundle bestsellers from iconic brands like Chanel, Augustinus Bader, La Mer, and U Beauty—often at a great value. From softer lips to smooth, radiant under-eyes, these gifts help your loved ones put their best face forward.
Chanel
N°1 De Chanel Expert Revitalizing Serum Duo

Beauty Tool Gifts
The joy of gifting beauty tools is that it’s like handing your loved one their very own personal glam squad.

Below, browse picks from Solawave, Nuface, Therabody, and more.
Omnilux
Omnilux’s LED mask is crafted from flexible silicone to fit comfortably around the face, targeting skin-care concerns ranging from fine lines and wrinkles to redness and dark spots. “It’s on the pricier end, but the contour shape fits nearly everyone comfortably and enables the red light to reach all around the face for maximum efficacy,” board-certified dermatologist Corey L. Hartman previously told Vogue. “The device is FDA-cleared for use and Omnilux backs up the claims with strong clinically reviewed and published research.” TLDR: This is one of the best red light therapy masks on the market.

Solawave
Wrinkle Retreat Light Therapy Face Mask
For a complexion boost, Vogue’s senior beauty and wellness editor Margaux Anbouba turns to Solawave’s LED face mask. As Anbouba notes, “I’ve recently started trying the Solawave Wrinkles Mask. It’s only three minutes, which is basically as long as I am willing to wear a red-light mask.” Even in that brief window, the mask delivers a noticeable glow, making it a quick and effective addition to any skincare routine.
NuFace
NuFace’s pronged microcurrent massager is a favorite among Vogue editors and celebrities alike—from Cynthia Erivo to Bella Hadid. The device firms and sculpts with a simple glide. “The NuFace Trinity+ uses microcurrents to stimulate the underlying facial muscles which helps tone and lift the face, like a mini workout for your skin that can make your features look more sculpted over time,” board-certified aesthetic injector and PDO thread specialist Natia Rufolo previously told Vogue.
Vogue’s Conçetta Ciarlo uses Currentbody’s LED Series 2.
Currentbody
Wrinkles, be gone! Currentbody’s Series 2 LED mask is clinically proven to reduce fine lines by an impressive 35 percent in just four weeks—boosting general luminosity, collagen, and skin smoothness in the process. It does so via red, near-infrared, and deep near-infrared light wavelengths which go deep beneath skin’s surface for optimal repair. Plus, the patented flexible silicone, ensures light covers every area of the face, and feels comfortable.
Healthyline
Embedded with crushed tourmaline, jade, obsidian, and amethyst, HealthyLine’s multitasking wellness device puts five types of tension-melting therapy at one’s fingertips. Primed to perform hot-gemstone, far-infrared, negative-ion, photon-light, and PEMF therapies with the touch of a remote-control button, the mat has become a go-to wellness tool for Vogue contributor Jenny Berg. “My little ritual: Put the mat on the bed, turn it up to its full 158 degrees, then lie back for a 15-minute meditation or a dip into my novel,” says Berg. “After a session, I feel blissed out, unwound, and deliciously warm—like I’ve just emerged from a hot-stone massage.”
Therabody
The TheraFace Pro goes beyond massage alone. It offers eight different treatments and a variety of interchangeable heads—from gentle percussive massage to LED light therapy, hot and cold sessions, and facial cleansing, it tackles a wide spectrum of skin concerns. “What I really appreciate about it is how customizable it feels with different attachments and treatments,” Rufolo previously told Vogue, highlighting how the device adapts to individual needs for a truly tailored at-home spa experience. Aside from a host of attachments, this set includes a conductive gel and carry bag.
Fragrance Gifts
Scents are inseparable from memories—and what better way to create new ones than with a perfume gift set? The best sets offer a mix of timeless classics and inventive new scents, from Diptyque’s imaginative creations to Dries Van Noten’s fragrance bottles that are almost too beautiful to put away. Even better, these collections invite recipients to play with layering, mixing, and experimenting, turning each whiff into a personalized, sensory experience all season long.
Parfums de Marly
More than just a stunning floral fragrance, Parfum de Marly’s Delina comes in a bottle that feels straight out of a Sofia Coppola film. Pale pink, tasselled, and touched with Rococo flair, the ornate design houses a scent centered on luxurious Turkish rose.
Trudon
Know any candle lovers? I certainly do—and that’s not even including myself. If it’s time to elevate a giftee’s candle collection, few brands feel as luxurious as Trudon. Founded in 1643, it’s the oldest working wax maker in the world and was once the official supplier to the French Court and Napoleon I. All this considered, trust the scents are fit for royalty.
Dries Van Noten
Vanille Camouflage Eau De Parfum
Delicious scents aside, Dries Van Noten parfums are a feast for the eyes. Inspired by the beauty of intricate china, tapestries, and oil paintings, each fragrance comes in a sleek, artful bottle. Vanille Camouflage delights with creamy vanilla, bourbon, and fresh green notes for a skin-like, universally appealing scent—but honestly, any of the collection would make a stunning gift, even if you’re judging purely by the bottle. Plus, they’re sustainable with refills for every scent.
Maison Francis Kurkdjian
Alongside the iconic Baccarat Rouge 540 and Gentle Fluidity Silver, Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s set includes three additional scents—ranging from airy and aquatic to fruity and musky—so there’s a fragrance for every mood. Ringing in just over $300, it’s a luxe way to sample multiple favorites without committing to a full bottle. Perfect for fragrance lovers who like variety, this set lets them explore the house’s signature creations in style and at leisure.
Jo Malone
Seasonal Cologne Collection Gift Set
*Jo Malone London keeps their unisex scents minimalist (yes, unisex—don’t be put off by the word “cologne”). In a what-you-see-is-what-you-get approach, the fragrance key notes are often the names of the product itself. Here, favorites like Orange Bitters, and Sandalwood & Spiced Apricot are two out of six parfum minis snuggly tucked away in a festive gift box.
Le Labo
Holiday Fragrance Discovery Set
Le Labo’s discovery set is sampling of it’s four most-coveted colognes and perfumes. Inside, you’ll find Another 13, a hypnotic mix of ambrox, musk, and jasmine petals; Santal 33, a woody, amber-rich ode to the American West; and more. All of Le labo’s fragrances are decidedly unisex; Paul Mescal and Niall Horan’s signature scents just happen to be featured here.
Diptyque
The ultimate holiday candle, Diptyque’s Feu de Bois candle evokes the scent of a crackling open fire, amidst snowy evergreens. Best of all, the large candle size features a holiday edition, silvery-grey porcelain vessel to add to the holiday cheer—in a chic, understated way, of course.
Santa Maria Novella
Carta d’Armenia incense papers
Flame free incense? Count us in! It’s especially nifty for those that love fragrance, but are limited to burn-free spaces like offices, dorms, or baby-proofed homes. It doesn’t get more convenient that these elegant papers. There’s 18 sheets per box, which diffuse their fragrance no matter where they’re placed—drawers, closets, linens, wardrobes, or purses.
Hair-Care Gifts
The best hair-care gifts transform everyday brushing, smoothing, and styling into a moment of luxury. This holiday season, Vogue editors are loading their carts—and gift bags—with luxe brushes, chic claw clips, and celebrity-approved styling sets. After all, what better gift than effortless, feel-good hair days?
Oribe
Each a full liter, Oribe’s Gold Lust Shampoo and Conditioner are packed with a bio-restorative complex that strengthens, nourishes, and imparts a radiant shine to damaged hair. Infused with argan oil, they repair, smooth, and tame frizz for strands that look effortlessly revitalized. What’s more, the set arrives in a limited-edition box featuring original artwork by Kustaa Saksi, making it a luxe gift for any hair-care aficionado.
La Bonne Brosse
N.04 The Small Miracle Detangling Brush
La Bonne Brosse brushes aren’t just something you leave out because they look beautiful—though the sculptural handles and soft, glossy colors certainly make that tempting. Plus, there are several brush bristle options to choose from (in addition to the lovely color options), whether detangling, smoothing, or a mixture of both is your concern.
Rōz Hair
Founded by celebrity hairstylist Mara Roszak, who uses her products on the likes of Emma Stone, Rōz is known for clean, salon-quality products. Stocked with her bestselling shampoo and conditioner, which harness ceramides, pea peptides, and botanical ingredients to strengthen the hair and boost shine, the set also includes the Willow Glen Treatment Oil and the Santa Lucia Styling Oil. The latter was the brand’s debut product, and remains a hero in the lineup: It nourishes the hair, creates smooth styles, and smells like a wildflower garden.
Crown Affair
Crown Affair managed to turn a mundane comb into a work of art. Here, the wide-tooth comb detangles, styles, and massages the scalp with ease. Aside from having multiple lovely colorways to choose from, the brush is handcrafted in Switzerland from plant-based acetate (a more sustainable material).
Slip
Part luxury home decor, part haircare, Slip’s silk pillowcases give the gift of beauty sleep—quite literally. Silk keeps hair snag-free, reducing flyaways and unnecessary frizz. It also helps maintain skin hydration by absorbing less moisture than cotton. Plus, the smooth finish feels decadently cool against the skin, making every night feel like a five-star stay. And not to worry, these come in a set of two.
Undo Hair
Sure, you could reach for any hair clip—but Undo’s claw clips are crafted in Italy, poured and polished to perfection, with sculptural curves and superior grip that combine style and reliability in one luxe accessory. “These hair clips look juicy!” Vogue’s associate shopping director Talia Abbas gushes, highlighting the stunning colorways. Bonus: they hold even her extra-thick hair securely in place, making them as functional as they are beautiful.
Vogue’s Conçetta Ciarlo uses the Dyson Corrale Straightener.
Dyson
Corrale Styler Straightener
The Dyson Corrale is an upgrade from your average flat iron. This cordless, bevel-edged straightener features flexing copper plates to deliver controlled heat styling that adjusts to maintain the perfect temperature setting for your hair type. Plus, this device is travel-friendly, featuring a TSA-approved airplane mode and universal voltage (so when you do charge, you can charge from anywhere—even abroad).
