The holidays are not all about the gifts you give or receive—but is it wrong to acknowledge that they matter? Amid the necessary time spent with loved ones and the much-needed rest after a busy year, gifts are a physical reminder of all the love we have for those around us. Yes, it's cheesy, but here at Marie Claire, we don't take gift-giving lightly. So, our gift to you is a roundup of all the best beauty finds to shop this holiday season, from affordable and natural lip products to luxe hair tools, coveted skincare gadgets, and more. The people in your life deserve to instantly fall in love with the items they unwrap instead of worrying about gift receipts and returns. Every product below fits the criteria, so keep scrolling for some stellar gift inspiration.
