the best Holiday gift sets!

The second November hits my brain goes straight to Christmas and the present shopping starts ASAP! I absolutely love gift shopping and giving gifts. I totally have to admit that sometimes I do the one for you two for me rule because there are some gifts that too good to be true. This whole post is totally about those products and I can promise you won’t want to  miss out on all the goodies I’m about to show you!

Since I started working at a salon, my family knows that they’re going to be getting skin, makeup, and hair gift sets no matter what. I love that I’m able to get more for my money with gift sets and they all love that they’re getting more than one item. The best part is that they know what to expect but are super excited every year because they really do love the gift sets! I will say that this year totally beats last years gift sets and below is the run down of my favorite five! I’ll also have some other options available as well at the end of the post.

All items being shown are available at Beauty Brands and are currently while supplies last. Now until November 4th (Sunday) they are also offering  25% off your entire purchase with code EC15631. *exclusions do apply

Happy holiday shopping and Happy November!! 🙂

I was absolutely shocked at the amount of hair care gift sets there were available at Beauty Brands this year. All of the hair care sets I was looking at were all my favorite products and it was really hard to narrow it down.  Of course the second I saw that there was a Bumble and Bumble gift set with my all time favorite leave in primer I knew that would be my choice. If you have not yet tried this item right now is totally the time to do so. If I was stranded on an island and could only bring one hair care item it would be this Bumble and Bumble Hair Primer.

 This gift set is valued at $54 and is all yours for only $33!  All that’s included is the Invisible Oil  travel size shampoo and conditioner (retailing at $13 each) and the Invisible Oil leave in Primer (retailing for $28)

Here are some other awesome hair care gift sets that I know I’ll be going back to get:

I am obsessed with my next gift set choice and looking at the pictures makes me even more obsessed. This cute clutch is a Tarte Cosmetics removable blush clutch. HOW COOL IS THIS!? I know it will sell out fast so you can easily shop it here. The Blush Clutch is $44 and it’s worth every single penny for how much product you get and for the killer packaging. I was absolutely shocked when I opened this up to see how deep and big the blush pans were. Usually in gift sets you don’t get the best amount of makeup but Tarte always goes above and beyond every year.

This item is perfect for my sister who can never decide what blush color suits her best and is always wanting to try new shades. The deeper shades in the clutch could easily be used as a contour color and the lightest color could easily be used as a highlight. This clutch is super versatile and I may just end up keeping it for myself haha.

Here are my other top beauty care gift set items:

I have said this for so long to family and friends that are on the fence to try out new skincare and to stock up on their favorite products – always get it during Holiday!!!!!!! I’m not even kidding! The skincare gift set deals are insane! A lot of skincare brands will also have ‘favorites’ gift sets where there is a nice selection of the most purchased items in the line all in a gift set. It’s the perfect opportunity to try a new skincare line out or to see how you’ll like a certain product before buying it full size. I have to rave about this skincare gift set above for  little bit because you are practically getting two full-sized products for the price of one. This Peter Thomas Roth gift duo will also sell super fast so I recommend snagging it while you can.

This mask is also a new favorite of mine! It warms up as you rub it in and instantly feels like you’re at a spa. It’s valued at $100 and is only $58 in the gift set!

Here are some other favorites of mine:

Last but not least…gift sets for men.

The best part about beauty gift sets is that they now make them for men which saves me SO MUCH TIME when searching for my husband, my brother, and my dad. When I brought these two Jack Black gifts sets home, Kyler was so excited to use them that I had to grab them out of his hands to tell him I needed it for a picture before he could have it. He patiently waited for me to snap my pictures and ran with the goodies haha. You can find the larger gift set, Jack Of All Trades here and the Balm Squad lip balm trio here.

Last year I actually gifted my dad, my brother, and Kyler all different Jack Black gift sets and they were all more than thrilled to receive them. My dad doesn’t care what kind of products he gets and is happy spending $2 on a bottle of shampoo, but he likes having something a little more fancy to try out during the year. My brother is a college student and would rather spend his money on anything other than hygiene products so he loves that this is one less thing for him to by. My husband is absolutely spoiled and refuses to use anything other than Jack Black products. If only you could see his bathroom shelf. Lol.

But in all seriousness, the men’s gift sets are absolutely incredible. I remember when there was a time that gift sets for men weren’t a thing so it’s really cool seeing how many there are now. Jack Black is my personal favorite gift set to give because every gift set of their’s is so different. Last year I gifted my husband soap on a rope, the exact same lip balm trio, and a body wash / hand lotion trio and they were all gone within two months.

Here are some other Jack Black gift sets and various other gift sets for men:
