1. Drybar Blowout Kit: this kit comes with every Drybar accessory you need, including hair clips and hair brush.

2. Jo Malone Discovery Set: I LOVE to gift discovery sets because then they can pick and choose which is their favorite before buying a full sized bottle of any scent.

3. Drunk Elephant Skincare Essentials: for $75, you're getting a LOT of really awesome products. Any time you spot a Drunk Elephant gift set of any kind, my suggestion would be to buy it! ;) If you're familiar with the brand, you know how awesome their products work on your skin. Anyone would love to receive this set!

4. Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Gift Set: I fell in love with this scent almost two years ago and then my sister found it and came over and took my roller ball version because she loved it too! Hah! This set is a great value - it comes with four different pieces and seriously I'm a sucker for a gorgeous gift box and look at this one!

5. Fresh Face Mask Set: these face masks are the real deal! The set comes with four different masks by Fresh and there's no picking favorites here, they're all so good! This set is on sale right now so act fast!

6. Sunday Riley Power Couple Duo: I began using the Sunday Riley Ceramic Slip cleanser about two months ago and loved how it made my skin feel so I decided to splurge on the Good Genes Lactic Acid serum and now, I want to gift it all. I love it and I know every other girl who loves great skincare products will too!

7. Peter Thomas Roth Mask Set: these are another set of amazing face masks that in my opinion, everyone needs to try. They come in larger tubs but again, this is a GREAT way to figure out which one you like best and which works best for your skin. They're all amazing, but you can't go wrong with a set like this for $25!

8. First Aid Beauty Skin Summit: at just under $50, this set is an amazing deal! It's a $112 value and comes with 5 of the very best First Aid Beauty products that help with hydration - something we could all use this season!

9. Stila Liquid Eye Shadow Set: for the girl who loves to do her makeup and loves eye shadow, these shimmery eye shadows are a must have!

10. Too Faced Eye Palette Set: ok, RUN to get this because I can't believe something this good of a deal is still available! For $49, you get three palettes plus a mascara. The palettes are seriously beautiful too!

7. VitaJuwel Water Bottle: I have never seen something like this before, and now I want one! Hah! I had to add it to this list - it's basically a water bottle that has a base filled with gemstones that are meant to help energize your water to bring it to the level of pure, spring water. Beautiful skin comes from within and this is a pretty cool gift for a skincare lover!

8. Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask: I live for this lip mask! I use it nightly and it's totally transformed the way my lips feel and stay hydrated throughout the day.

9. Slip Silk Eye Mask: no better non-beauty product related gift than a Silk eye mask!

15. Jade Roller: my #1 suggestion for gift giving this season! These jade rollers have so many benefits and while there are so many varieties out there, this is the best one I've tried and it's only $11!

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 / 11 / 12 / 13 / 14 / 15
1. Rose Gold Brush Set: 13 makeup brushes for $24?! Sign me up! A perfect gift!

2. Foreo Luna Cleanser: this is such a perfect under $50 gift option! It's an awesome facial cleanser and a less expensive alternative to the popular Clarisonic brushes, and it works just as well! Plus it's SO mini and perfect to take with you where ever you go.

3. Naked Smokey Palette: I highly suggest buying this ASAP because it was discontinued and it's one of the most beautiful palettes ever! It's definitely my favorite Naked palette and I'm so glad I found it so I can get another before it's even harder to find!

4. Acrylic Makeup Organizer: the chicest way to store all of your makeup! It's a much less expensive version than most we see and it's great quality. You could even fill it up with her favorite products to gift!

5. C Me Sparkle Skin Set: a perfect gift set for anyone! It's filled with the very best Vitamin-C infused skincare products out there.

6. PLAY! by Sephora Monthly Subscription: for $10 a month, you get a bag filled with some travel sized products and it's usually a mix of new arrivals and customer favorites. I've been getting one for almost a year now and I think it's such a fun little bag to receive in the mail each month! You could gift one bag, a bunch of bags at once (purchase them separately) or gift a subscription for a years worth of bags. Something different and fun!

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10
1. Natasha Denona Eye Shadow Palette: this is kind of a crazy price to spend on an eye shadow palette, but once I saw the colors and pigmentation in person I was floored. It's SERIOUSLY beautiful!

2. Wireless & Rechargeable Hair Styler: the PERFECT travel gift - makes packing a breeze when it comes to beauty items for your hair!

4. Slip Silk Eye Mask & Pillow Case Duo: for just under $120, you can get this eye mask and pillow case duo - and it's the perfect gift for the beauty buff on your list.

5. Dyson AirWrap: this has been sold out in most places for a while now, but I've been noticing it come in and out of stock so if this is high on your wishlist or someone you're gifting it to, keep an eye on it! It's definitely a splurge, but an *amazing* one!

6. Tiffany & Co. Pefume Set: I'm not normally a huge perfume person, and walking through the perfume department in stores ends with me having a massive headache... So when I wear perfume, it has to be a very little bit and a scent that isn't overpowering; this is EXACTLY that scent. It's on my wishlist - wait until you smell how beautiful it is!

7. Foreo UFO: I hadn't heard of this until recently and now I'm convinced that I need one and we all need one, lol! It's basically a mini facial treatment - it works hand in hand with the Coco Chanel Perfume: such a classic and always a perfect gift!
