The holidays really are the most wonderful time of the year, and not just because of the twinkly lights and endless supply of peppermint bark (though that definitely helps). As a self-proclaimed beauty enthusiast, nothing gets me more excited than the return of holiday gift sets—the festive packaging, the mix of tried-and-true staples and fun new finds, the thrill of scoring a great deal. So when this year's collections started dropping, I practically ran to the Bloomingdale's website—and let me tell you, its selection does not disappoint. It spans everything from cult-favorite skincare staples to limited-edition makeup sets, all beautifully packaged and thoughtfully curated. They make the perfect gifts for the beauty lovers in my life… but I'd be lying if I said I won't be keeping a few for myself. Fair warning: Once you see these, you'll want them all, too.

Skincare Sets

If glowing, glassy skin is on your wish list, these luxe gift sets won't be easy to resist. They're the perfect way to test out some of the best products before committing to the full size.

Makeup Sets

This is dangerous territory for me… I want everything. The Charlotte Tilbury set is a beauty lover's dream—it includes so many of the brand's best sellers for a seriously good deal. How can anyone resist?

Fragrance Sets

I love trying new perfumes, but sometimes finding one I love can feel a little overwhelming. What smells amazing on someone else doesn't always hit the same on me. That's why I'm all for fragrance sets: They make it so easy to sample, layer, and find your next signature scent.

Advent Calendars

There's something so fun about Advent calendars—who doesn't love getting miniature gifts leading up to the holidays? Whether it's skincare, makeup, or even just chocolate, I'll never get tired of the daily surprise waiting behind each little compartment.
