While the holidays are always the best time of year, shopping for them can be incredibly stressful. What do you buy for your coworkers? Someone who has everything? Your mother-in-law? Fear not! I have specially curated an entire list of thoughtful and unique gift ideas. All products have excellent reviews, and many I have tried and can vouch for myself! There is something on here for everyone, and you can rest assured that those special ladies in your life will receive something they love.

Last year I discovered Vegamour, and I have been obsessed ever since. Their GRO+ Advanced Hair Serum is my personal favorite and has done wonders for making my hair grow thicker and longer. I’m normally a huge skeptic when it comes to anything claiming to change my hair, as 90% of what it out there is usually crap. However this stuff actually works! They also have lots of other products on their website including eyelash serums, which I have yet to try.

This is the perfect gift for someone who is tired of wearing false lashes or getting eyelash extensions. I’ve been using UK Lash for a little over 2 years now and cannot say enough good things about it. I love it so much I have recommended it to all of my friends. There are a million lash serums to choose from out there, but the reason I love this one is because it doesn’t have those ingredients which can change your eye color or create a red line on your lash line. Plus it REALLY works and the price point is great.

Another product I swear by is the Kenzzi IPL Hair Removal Handset. This gift is perfect for someone who has been considering laser hair removal, but doesn’t want to pay thousands of dollars to achieve the results. IPL stands for intense pulsed light, so it is not a laser and therefore not painful. Simply use it once per week on any desired body part until you reach your desired results. I used this on my arms and they are now completely hairless! Highly, highly recommend this one.

What woman doesn’t love a good salon blowout? The Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer and Volumizer is the perfect gift for any lady in your life, and a safe choice because it works for almost any hair type! This is another product I have recommended countless times to family and friends, and they all have loved it. It’s super easy to use and gives you a salon quality blowout.

Another salon-worthy gift is this facial steamer – seriously, you feel like you’ve been to the spa after using this. This makes a great gift for the girl who likes to be pampered and enjoys a good self-care day.

Facial cleansing spin brushes are all the rage, and what I love about this one is that it not only comes with 4 interchangeable heads, but it also comes with its own travel case. Many of the ones I’ve seen do not come with a case and are also 3x the price. This is the perfect gift for someone who is serious about their skincare or someone who travels often.

E.L.F.’s new Hydration skincare line is not to be overlooked. Their new skincare products are surprisingly good quality with great ingredients, at an even better price point. This trial/travel kit would make the perfect gift for any skincare lover.

I have yet to meet someone who doesn’t love The Ordinary. This gift set includes some of their best sellers, and sure to be a popular gift option this year. You really can’t go wrong with this one.

Pacifica is another brand I have loved forever. Their Glow Baby line is phenomenal, after all who doesn’t love vitamin C? Another gift sure to please just about anyone!

I realize buying foundation may not be the most practical gift, but hear me out… This new L’Oreal True Match Tinted Hyaluronic Serum is EVERYTHING. I was so obsessed I bought it in two shades (one for when I’m pale and one for when I’m tanned) and I can’t get enough of it. It melts right into your skin, and is like your skin but better. The shade range is not great, but even if you snag this as a personal gift for yourself, I assure you that you will not be disappointed.

These press on nails would make a great stocking stuffer for any girl who loves having their nails done. They have great reviews, and are a much more budget friendly option than going to the salon.

This 7 color therapy mask is the ideal gift for someone who is interested in anti-aging. I personally have this and I love it so much I recommended it to my mother. Each color offers a different benefit, for example red stimulates collagen production, green is for smoothing fine lines and wrinkles, yellow fades dark spots, and so on. This is a top tier gift in my opinion and fantastic for the price point.

I’m a big fan of silk or satin pillowcases. Not only are they better for your hair, but they are great for your skin too. No more pulling and tugging and creating wrinkles. You don’t have to break the bank to get great quality pillowcases either. These ones from Amazon are $10 for a set and have nearly 10,000 5 star reviews! They also come in a ton of colors and patterns.

This two pack satin sleep mask plus the hot/cold eye mask would make a great stocking stuffer! I sleep with a satin sleep mask every night, and it’s not only wonderful for blocking the light, but actually helps prevent wrinkles as well.

Backpacks make for a fantastic practical gift that is also stylish. This one is water resistant and anti-theft which makes it perfect for travel.
