It’s the most magical time of year, especially for those of us who live our best life during peak shopping season, but shopping for gifts doesn’t come easily for everyone.

This is so exciting - I actually wanted to organize my picks by categories, so this is helpful too! Working on it 😄

I think the perfect gift would be one of the sephora favorites set. You can do a perfume favorites where they get to try out multiple fragrances and then choose the one that best suits them, then there are the amazing make up sets, which has some great products.

@TeamBIC I love this Idea!

I personally put together stuff all year long and look out for 100-500 point perks that can be given as fun side treats. Using GWP andPoint perks I have a stocking filled with a bunch of Tatcha littles for my mom and DE littles for my sister. It's a fantastic way to treat people to something special without spending any extra $$

For coworkers, friends, the mail lady, etc. I like to put together little "self care" packages. Usually a balm, a hand cream, a sheet mask, and something just for fun- like a shadow or a lippie mini or two. Value mini sets are great for this! I'm eyeing the Laura mercier eye stick kit and the Charlotte Tilbury lipstick kit this year. The Summer Fridays mask kit, Fresh balm kits, and Sephora Collection mask sets are also on the gifting list!

I'm still waiting for the rest of the holiday collections to drop. 😄

Totally agree! I seem to always buy a Sephora favourites kit every year for someone. It always has such a great selection of products that are sure to please. 🙂

I’ve purchase many a Sephora Favorites set for gifts. These sets are awesome as they have a wide variety of products - lots of time you’re not terrible sure what people will like.

@danielledanielle Didn't want to overwhelm you, but also didn't want to limit all the genius gifting ideas! It's a tough balance 😉

@Brutalitops Love the idea of using your GWPs and rewards as little bonus gifts. I need to start being more generous with those considering the mighty collection I've stocked up! 😂 Adding them to little self-care packages is a great idea, especially because it makes it that much more thoughtful and intentional. ❤

I already submitted my form, it was great because I took some time to get organized and get a little idea of what to buy as a gift for the people I love. 😍🥰

Yeah, I’ve been doing this for several years now. There’s no way I can use all the samples/gwp’s/points items I’ve got. I’ve also got quite a few makeup bags that came with various items, so I fill them with all the goodies, and it makes a wonderful gift or stocking stuffer!

A personal best was the year when my sister jokingly said she wanted “gold, diamonds, and pearls” for Xmas. Took a Dior makeup bag from my stash and filled it with a Sephora Pearl mask, and 2 skincare items (can’t remember the brands), one with gold leaf, and the other with diamond dust. It was a hit! My sister was amazed by it, and we got a good laugh out of my taking her literally!

So maybe small “themed” samplers, linked by ingredients in them (luxe, natural, cutting edge), formula (creme, liquid, powder), origin (Asian skincare, French perfume, British makeup), products that fund charity, or anything else you can think up.
