As Christmas approaches, the same little panic always returns: “What am I supposed to get her this year ?” Thankfully, beauty gift sets remain the safest bet in the game. Skincare, perfume, makeup — several treasures gathered in a single box to spoil your mom, best friend, beloved colleague or beauty-obsessed little sister without making a misstep. A gift that always lands! To help you avoid the last-minute shopping marathon, here’s our selection of 10 irresistible sets, tailored to their tastes, their routines… and their personality.
FOR DEEPLY HYDRATED SKIN
When winter hits, our skin starts begging for hydration — so you might as well choose a set that’s both beautiful and useful. We’re especially obsessed with the Fresh mini kit: the Soy Face Cleanser to remove makeup and impurities, the Rose Toner to revitalise, the Rose Oil-Infused Serum to refine pores and nourish the skin, and the Rose Face Cream for long-lasting hydration all winter long. And for the lips: Sugar Rosé leaves them soft with a subtly rosy tint. A cocooning set to gift (or keep!) for pampered, glowing skin.
for feel-good scents
Finding a perfume she’ll genuinely want to wear every day can feel like the ultimate Christmas challenge. So why not offer eight options instead of one? This Courrèges set brings together 8 fragrances — 8 unique personalities ranging from fresh to sensual, woody to airy. It’s an invitation to explore the multifaceted universe of André Courrèges. And let’s be honest: displayed in a bathroom, these bottles definitely make an impression!
FOR RESTORATIVE SLEEP
We’ve already sung the praises of silk — the promise of shinier, less breakable hair, better-hydrated and more radiant skin, and an overall comfier night’s sleep thanks to a naturally hypoallergenic, soft material. The ideal combo for waking up looking fresh. Emily’s Pillow has gathered all this into a perfect set: a silk pillowcase, scrunchie and sleep mask, all in 100% silk. A delicate gift for the Sleeping Beauties in your life.
For dreamy hair
Some people don’t mess around when it comes to their hair — it’s all about the results. We tested the K18 line and instantly fell in love with this biotechnology-driven routine that brings back softness, strength and resilience after daily damage. Its formula is especially suited for fine, fragile or brittle hair, and it works in just 4 minutes. A small kit that absolutely deserves a spot in any bathroom!
for an exceptional ritual
A gift set is also the perfect excuse to discover a luxury brand. For the holidays, La Mer unveils a precious box that instantly makes you want to indulge. Inside: two iconic trial-size treatments — a regenerating oil that melts into the skin, and the cult cream that boosts renewal. A luxurious duo that blends seamlessly into any beauty routine, and a truly foolproof gift idea.
for a festive glow
Paul & Joe brings a festive makeup set inspired by the carefree glamour of the Roaring Twenties — a kit that makes you want to go out and dance! Inside: a trio of shimmering eyeshadows for brightened eyes, a copper lipstick for a statement pout, and a golden powder that catches the light just right. A set made for holiday parties… and for anyone who loves to shine on a night out.
for plump, dewy skin
Tatcha, the Japanese-inspired brand you’re seeing absolutely everywhere right now — on the subway, on Instagram, in every beauty lover’s pouch — brings together three of its essentials: The Rice Wash, a gentle cleanser that leaves skin soft; The Dewy Skin Cream, a velvety moisturiser that restores radiance; and the Kissu Lip Mask, the irresistible final touch, all wrapped in ultra-cute packaging.
FOR A TRUE SELF-care moment
The king of gift sets is obviously Rituals, and this year’s edition promises a well-deserved pause with a calming candle, their iconic foaming shower gel, a hand scrub and a body cream that leaves skin silky soft. Woodsy, floral and subtly spicy notes complete the picture of the perfect present for women whose days are always full speed ahead…
for salon-qualified nails at home
For beauty lovers whose manicures don’t always fit into their schedules, here’s the perfect solution: the Green Flash™ set from Manucurist. A complete at-home semi-permanent routine with a colour of choice, a vitamin base coat, a top coat, a gentle remover, removal clips… and of course, the LED lamp. Everything is full-size, because immaculate hands deserve no compromise. The result: a glossy manicure lasting up to 12 days, removable in minutes.
for a chic, effortless gaze
Merit gathers the eye-makeup essentials into one set: a creamy shadow to subtly enhance the eyes, a defining mascara that keeps things natural, and a brow duo to sculpt the face with ease. The perfect look for rushed mornings when a flawless gaze is more realistic than a fully glam routine.
