The 9 Best Beauty Gifts For Your Co-Workers That They’ll Actually Want to Receive

With the cold weather season ahead, nothing makes a good skincare product like a good moisturizer. This Malin + Goetz moisturizer is lightweight yet deeply nourishing, thanks to ingredients like meadowfoam seed oil and squalane. It’s perfect for keeping skin nourished without feeling weighed down.

​Review: “My husband has extremely sensitive skin, and he loves this cream! It’s gentle, hydrating, and still lightweight. If you’re looking for an effective hydrating moisturizer that works for sensitive skin, consider Malin and Goetz.” — Bloomingdale's

If luxury skincare is more your co-worker's vibe, give them this La Mer gift set and watch them melt into a puddle of gratitude. This collection includes two moisturizers, a cleanser, and a treatment toner in miniature sizes. It's a fantastic way to try the brand before committing to the larger sizes.

Review: "Pure luxury, baby-soft skin. Presented in an elegant gift box, this is luxury you can give — or keep. The texture is rich yet silky, melting into the skin and leaving it unbelievably smooth, soft, and baby-like. A truly award-worthy indulgence." — Bloomingdale's

That one coworker with really shiny hair? Yeah, they’re going to love this little kit from Crown Affair. It includes three of the brand’s best-selling items: the Dry Shampoo, a mini Leave-In Conditioner, and a mini Texturizing Air Dry Mousse. It’s perfect for the upcoming travel months to keep their strands in tip-top shape.

​Review: “Such an awesome buy. Great value for money. The powder itself makes it worth it. I love it! Gives life back to my flat, thin, limp hair. Holy grail product! And I do not say that lightly.” — Sephora

For the work bestie who’s obsessed with body care, this body milk from By Rosie Jane should be on your shopping list. Made with essential oils and scented with eucalyptus, grapefruit, and lemon, plus Kakadu plum oil, it delivers that radiant glimmer everyone knows and loves. There are three more products in this Wake collection, including a body wash, oil, and full-body deodorant, so you can gift them all to make a set or break them apart for stocking stuffers. Either way, there’s a good chance they’ll love it.

​Review: “These scents are amazing, and the body milk is perfect! Wake and Chill are my two favorites; I simply can't get enough!!!” — Nordstrom

I blew through the Carby Musk candle from Better World Fragrance House when I first got it, and to my surprise, a coworker loved the scent too. So when I found out that the brand has a perfume oil in that same fragrance, I had to grab it for her. As the name suggests, the scent is musky and clean, thanks to lily of the valley, ambergris, and amber woods. It’s as delicious as you’re imagining.

Review: “Absolutely love this fragrance - the scent is incredible. It stays on skin a long time. Definitely a new favorite!” — Ulta

Based on some fragrance conversations I've had, this scent from Arquiste should be right up your alley. It’s a chypre scent (typically characterized by a combination of warm, dry, and mossy notes), with ingredients like jasmine, rose, civet, and cardamom. I haven’t smelled it in person, but based on the description alone, a few people I know would love to receive it.

​Review: “Ella is a big, vintage and animalic jasmine chypre. Fur-like, slightly smoky and earthy, worthy of an old Hollywood diva. Beautiful, grand and definitely old-school style.” — Fragrantica

For the person on your list who loves fresh, herbal, and slightly medicinal scents, Santa Maria Novella’s Lavanda Imperiale will be right up their alley. Bergamot, ylang-ylang, lavender, and sage all combine to create a beautiful floral, aromatic perfume that they won’t be able to get enough of. Plus, it comes in the most gorgeous bottle inspired by the Italian Apothecary that the brand is named after, recognized as the first in the world.

Review: “It smells fresh, like being in the middle of a lavender field. It is a wonderful scent, just like real lavender. My elementary school daughter also loves this scent, and before going to bed, she sprays it onto a tissue and places it by her pillow to sleep. Because it has a natural, aromatherapeutic aroma, spraying it when I feel a bit irritated or sniffing it when I'm feeling down after a bad day helps me calm down and feel at ease. Sometimes, like a protective barrier for myself, I mist it into the air and walk through it to wrap myself in the scent. It might be because catching this scent makes me feel serene, but things often seem to go more smoothly when I use it. To me, it is no longer just a cologne—it has become a scented "amulet" (or "good luck charm"). — Santa Maria Novella

There’s no way you haven’t smelled this perfume before, but just in case, you should know right off the bat that it’s definitely a crowd-pleaser. You’ll find notes like pear, jasmine, sandalwood, vanilla, and musk in the concoction, and anyone—man, woman, or nonbinary person—would love it. It’s a gorgeous, fresh, yet woody perfume that is one of the few that can be worn year-round.

​Review: “After purchasing two original perfumes, one for my daughter and one for myself, they got me with this one as well! Just beautiful!” — Nordstrom

If you’re legitimately stuck on what to get your favorite co-worker, you truly can’t go wrong with a chic candle. Some of the best in the game come from Diptyque, and everything about Le Soir screams relaxation. From the artwork on the glass (which depicts an ancient bathing scene at nightfall) to the herbaceous blend of chamomile, sage, and cedarwood, this is one of those safe buys anyone would actually appreciate opening this holiday season.

​Review: “Truly delightful nighttime candle that reminds me of a herbal tea scent, especially due to the sage and chamomile notes. It is a very relaxing scent which I have started integrating into my nighttime routine. I truly adore the scent as it is extremely calming and helps set the tone for a good sleep.” — Space NK
