If you’re not already across this viral debut, Prada’s lip balm delivers up to 24 hours of hydration thanks to a clever blend of bifidus extract and jojoba oil, smoothing and strengthening the lip barrier in the process. The stunning refillable casing adds a touch of sustainability, making this a thoughtful staple for anyone serious about their lip care.
Know someone who is passionate about self-care or simply has naturally luscious locks to maintain? La Bonne Bross is hair care as craftsmanship. With hand-implanted boar bristles, rich in keratin to nourish hair while boosting shine and volume, these are the Rolls-Royce of hairbrushes, turning an otherwise mundane act into a mindful ritual with maximum results.
Give the gift of Luminous skin, courtesy of La Prairie’s Advanced Pure Gold Diffusion System.

Rich yet refined, the formulas deliver immediate comfort and long-term glow.
Lipstick, but make it couture. Dior’s limited-edition Addict cases transform a beauty essential into a collectible accessory, with fashion-forward designs that complement any space. It’s a small but impactful gift—perfect for elevating an already-beloved Dior lipstick into something personal.
Softening skin with nourishing oils and wrapping it in a quietly meditative scent, Thé Matcha 26 is so much more than your average body lotion, making it a great gift. It’s subtle but memorable, the kind of fragrance that feels intimate rather than obvious, and will definitely garner some compliments.
A beautifully boxed introduction to Diptyque’s most beloved fragrances, this holiday set is part scent wardrobe, part storybook fantasy.

A professional-level facial, minus the appointment commute. This sleek at-home steamer delivers micro-steam to open pores, boost circulation and enhance product absorption in just nine minutes.
