65+ Luxurious Beauty Gifts—Skincare, Makeup, Fragrance, and Beyond

With teeny gifts hiding behind whimsical doors, beauty advent calendars offer the thrill of discovery up until the very end. Bursting with palm-size (and full-size!) presents that range from the skin firming serums to fragrant candles, the collectible calendars from Jo Malone London, Dr. Barbara Sturm, and Augustinus Bader are created to delight.

2024 ushered in a host of of new fragrances: Bottega Veneta’s debut made waves for its global-inspired scents and sculptural glass bottle. Glossier, on the other hand, introduced two new skin-enhancers off the heels of the cult-favorite Glossier You. And then there’s the latest from Maison d’Etto—a warm floral enlivened by jasmine, orange blossom, and vanilla—all serving as incredible in-the-know beauty gifts.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder—but it’s also in packages tied up with bows. Makeup gift sets put a dash of glamour, a dose of shimmer, and the makings of a smoother, brighter complexion in the palm of a loved one’s hand. Whether you scoop up a Jones Road makeup kit for the giftee looking for everyday beauty staples or Westman Atelier’s matte, yet hydrating lipsticks for the one who swears by a pop of color, there’s something for everyone.
