Are you still on the hunt for the perfect gift? Look no further! Here are some fantastic and budget-friendly options for everyone on your list: from beauty enthusiasts and fashion lovers to the homebody and the bookworm.
FOR THE BEAUTY JUNKIE
Shopping for a beauty enthusiast can be a delight. With a myriad of exciting gift sets available this season, finding the right gift is easier than ever. It’s best to steer clear of items like foundation unless you know the specific shade. Eyeshadow palettes, however, make for excellent gifts, as do gift cards for retailers like Sephora or Ulta. I personally enjoy selecting beauty products that the recipient might not splurge on themselves, such as luxurious nail polishes (in my opinion, Dior nail polishes are the best among high-end options due to their exceptional formula and longevity) or popular cheek products like the Shimmer Brick from Bobbi Brown.
