Give the gift of pampering this holiday season. From brand-new favorites and limited-edition collections to tried-and-true products and formulas, these 12 beauty gifts are sure to delight.

Rodin Olio Lusso Mezza Luxury Face Oils

Rodin’s cult favorite olio lusso facial oils are getting the holiday treatment with miniature bottles in limited-edition packaging printed with Linda Rodin’s favorite vintage fabrics. The brand’s famous formulas—jasmine and neroli, lavender, and geranium and orange blossom—are packed with good-for-you botanicals and absorb quickly into skin for a silky finish. $89 each; rodinoliolusso.com.

Alima Pure Ultimate Lip Tint Set

The perfect lip tint imparts just the right amount of both moisture and color, and all nine of Alima Pure’s superhydrating balms hit that sweet spot. Not only are the formulas 100 percent natural, with soothing cocoa butter and jojoba oil, but they also leave pouts with the most flattering sheer, velvety stain. $90; alimapure.com.

Courtesy Krigler

Krigler Pleasure Gardenia 79

Historic perfume house Krigler has released a limited-edition version of its very first scent, Pleasure Gardenia 79, which founder Albert Krigler created in 1879 as a gift for his new fiancée. The upgraded fragrance contains the same notes as the original—jasmine, gardenia, vanilla, mimosa, and musk—but comes in a more concentrated formula. Act fast: Only 300 special-edition bottles were made. $635; krigler.com.

Courtesy Mason Pearson

Mason Pearson Detangler

Mason Pearson’s famed hairbrushes have been handmade in England for over 100 years. The tools boast a patented rubber cushion to conform to the scalp; this chic nylon-bristled detangler works on all hair types, making it the perfect stocking stuffer for anyone on your list. $110; cobigelow.com.

Courtesy Kjaer Weis

Kjaer Weis The Collector’s Kit

Non-toxic beauty brand Kjaer Weis brings us something we’ve all been missing: a luxury palette for the makeup minimalist. This sleek, travel-friendly book can be filled with any combination of six essential products, from cream foundations and blushes to lip tints and eye shadows. $76 (makeup not included); kjaerweis.com.

Courtesy Kiehl's

Kiehl’s Crème de Corps Grapefruit Whipped Body Butter

Kiehl’s ever-popular Crème de Corps lotion has been given a whimsical makeover, courtesy of Mickey Mouse and a limited-edition holiday collection with Disney. This whipped body butter has a light citrus scent and a soft—never greasy—finish. Even better: One hundred percent of profits go to Feeding America, the largest domestic hunger-relief organization in the United States; just one jar provides 355 meals for families in need. $38; kiehls.com.

Courtesy Dyson

Dyson Supersonic

Last year, the Holy Grail of hair dryers was introduced by home-appliance brand Dyson just in time for the holidays. This year, it’s launching in a brand-new colorway: sleek black with purple accents. The superlight dryer is said to have six times more power than the original but still control heat so as not to damage the hair. $399; dyson.com.

Courtesy 3Lab

3Lab Anti-Aging Oil

Holiday stress can often reveal itself on the skin. 3Lab’s newest face oil counteracts these effects with superluxe ingredients like camellia, rosehip, and buriti oils—and 24-karat gold flakes, which not only lend a festive look but also boost the absorption of anti-aging elements and reduce inflammation. $300; 3lab.com.

Courtesy Tenoverten

Tenoverten Luxe Gift Set

This all-in-one manicure set has everything you need for an at-home mani, including eight colors hand-selected by the brand’s founders. All Tenoverten products are as nontoxic as possible, and this box includes lacquers free of eight harmful chemicals, an all-natural cuticle oil, and non-acetone polish remover for guilt-free pampering. $175; tenoverten.com.

Courtesy Oribe

Oribe Purse Size Collection

Give the gift of good hair with a selection of four of Oribe’s award-winning products. This set of travel-size essentials includes a light-hold hairspray, a shine-bestowing beach spray, a dry shampoo, and the brand’s superpopular dry texturizing spray. $72; birchbox.com.

Courtesy Bastide

Bastide Ambre Maquis Eau de Toilette

Made with the help of a trained perfumer in Grasse, France, known as the world capital of perfume, this fragrance balances the warmth of amber with earthy patchouli and sweet tangerine for a full-bodied, complex scent. $130; bastide.com.

Courtesy Tata Harper

Tata Harper Glow For It

Tata Harper’s range of clean skincare products is lauded for its all-natural ingredients and quality control (everything is grown, formulated, and produced on Tata’s Vermont farm). Now, they come in complementary combinations for the holidays, like this glow-inducing trio, which includes the brand’s editor-approved resurfacing mask. $60; tataharperskincare.com.
