72 Best Beauty Gifts 2024 for Everyone on Your Holiday List

In case you missed it, the holiday season is impending. While this doesn’t mean you’re late on shopping for everyone on your list (yet), the best beauty gifts are already flying off the virtual shelves. Are you surprised though? TikTok makes it near-impossible to snag popular products the first time they go viral, and nowadays everyone—your teenage cousin, hard-to-please mom, and your seemingly uninterested (but high-key very interested) dad included—has some kind of beauty routine.

That makes both our, and your, jobs easier; the best beauty gifts of 2024 are a-plenty, but how to choose the perfect one(s) for your lucky giftees? We’ve broken them down into various categories—and price points!—to help you give even Santa a run for his money.

Jump ahead to:

Beauty advent calendars are arguably the best gifts money can buy. These interactive calendars—-filled with up to 25 mini-size and full-size beauty products—are a dream for indecisive buyers and equally exciting for the recipient to open up and indulge in. Plus, your giftee can repurpose the boxes as storage—makeup, jewelry, you name it.
