There’s truly no price tag for the special women in our lives—the mom who stands by us through every storm, the wife who somehow balances it all like a superhero, the sister who knows exactly when to send over comfort food, and of course, the best friend who’s always there. These women are priceless, and at Christmas, we have the perfect opportunity to show them just how much they mean with something indulgent—something they wouldn’t buy for themselves. After all, they deserve more than just another pair of fuzzy socks! Especially with so many Black Friday beauty deals coming up.
Here’s my curated list of favorite gifts to treat the incredible women in your life, whether for the holidays or during Black Friday sales.
1. The Beauty Aficionado
For women who adore high-end beauty and skincare products.
If I could put a ZIIP Halo under everyone’s Christmas tree this year, I absolutely would. They’ve just released two stunning gift sets (this one and this one), and I couldn’t be more excited. You can check out my full review for all the details, but in short—it does EVERYTHING. For teens and young adults, it helps zap away pimples and gives you that coveted glass skin. In your 30s? It’s perfect for toning and sculpting your face. And for anyone beyond that, it’s a game-changer for reducing wrinkles and dark spots without going under the knife. This multitasking gadget has quickly become one I can’t live without.

2. The Skincare Enthusiast
Perfect for women who prioritize luxurious skincare routines and indulgent treatments.
Oh there are so many skin care product sets out there that I love, and the beauty deals for gift sets are probably the best from Sephora and Ulta, so check those out. Here are a couple of my favorite luxurious sets right now:
NERRA
This Mediterranean Spa Ritual has taken my bath time skin care to a whole new level. I love that you can get it in fragrance free for anyone who is sensitive, and the fragrance in the other one is made from real essential oils. Nothing fake here and would be good for most skin types.
ELEMIS
Each of these Brighter Days Ahead Cleansing Balms doubles like a mask when I’ve massaged them into my skin for about 15 minutes. It would be so special with this faucet water filter for a ‘cleansing skincare’ gift bag.

3. The Makeup Maven
For women who love experimenting with premium makeup brands and exclusive collections, the Black Friday beauty products sale is the best time to shop.
CHANEL
You can’t go wrong with Chanel xmas gifts. I like this Chanel Makeup Takeaways gift set.
LASHIFY
The best beauty gifts are the ones that are just a little bit “extra,” like this Lashify kit (review here). Even if she already has it, having a brand new set of lashes always feels good.
4. The Epicurean Connoisseur
For women who appreciate fine dining, rare delicacies, and gourmet experiences.
REDMOND Salt
This salt gift set is packed with minerals and comes from Utah. While not necessarily “fine dining like Maldon,” it is Organic Americana goodness. I use their salt so much I bought a bucket and already am planning on buying a couple or holiday gifting.
SPICE HOUSE
Once you experience these spices, there’s no turning back. Everyone I’ve introduced them to has been instantly hooked. I’m particularly obsessed with their Saigon cinnamon and Lemon Pepper seasoning. Their cinnamon is so exceptional that I almost feel guilty admitting—I’ve been known to buy their cinnamon pieces just to nibble on like gum after dinner. It’s in this gift set.
5. The Minimalist Sophisticate
For women who value clean, elegant designs with a focus on quality over quantity.
CLICK AND GROW
Always gift something useful and easy for minimalists. I like that this indoor garden kit is both useful and will add some greenery for their home, and comes in different sizes with different price points. It’s also low maintenance since it self-waters and can be controlled by an app. You can grow flowers, food, tea herbs, etc.
JEWELRY
Minimalist Jewelry that can be layered is usually a hit. I love this Electric Pick Harper Set or this Aurate Emerald Solitaire necklace and earrings.
6. The Girl Who Has Everything
Perfect for women who are hard to shop for and already have it all, featuring truly unique or bespoke high end Christmas gifts.
DAZZLE DRY
This Dazzle Dry manicure set is practically fool proof and looks professional. It’s also clean, non-toxic ingredients and is rubber-based so it expands with your nail bed, allowing you to get that spa pedicure without compromising your polish results. It’s probably the most luxurious at-home nail polish I’ve ever used, even compared with designer polish.
SILK
You can never have too many silk pillowcases and this gift set would be perfect.
7. The Wellness Warrior
For women who focus on self-care, fitness, and overall crunchy with high-end, holistic products.
RED LIGHT THERAPY from CURRENTBODY
If they like skincare–see #1 on why I love ZIIP. But I also love my Red light therapy and the two together are the chef’s kiss of self-care. In fact, I just gave both of these to my mother in law and she has noticed a huge difference in her skin! She still texts me regularly to tell me what a difference the two together have made.

8. The Fashion Forward
For women who have a keen eye for luxury fashion, accessories, and style trends.
ACQUA DI PARMA CANDLES
This is the one where you buy the set of designer candles she may have been eyeing for the holidays.
PERFUME
If you do perfume sets from Ulta or Sephora, grab one with a voucher for a free full-sized bottle (this one or this clean(er) ingredients one).
9. The Traveler
For women who love to explore the world and would appreciate luxe travel sets, accessories, or experiences.
AWAY LUGGAGE
Away Luggage is great for the professional on the go. I have their large carry-on and love it. If you are on a budget but still want upscale, check out their train case. Best part is the personalization since they engrave, embroider, foil stamp, and print your monogram on the luggage upon request. How can you make this a gift set? Add accessories like their packing cubes, luggage tags, tech case, or jewelry case.
YETI
A yeti soft cooler is perfect for anyone who travels with kids. Best part is you can stuff it with a gift card, a yeti ice pack, drinks, homemade treats, or whatever you want to make it an easy gift set with a quick trip to the grocery store.
WORK FROM ANYWHERE
This Work from Anywhere Kit is perfect to add to that Away Train Case or even by itself if you just want a small token of your affection.
10. The Tech Savvy
For women who enjoy cutting-edge gadgets and tech gifts that combine luxury with functionality.
Not a gift set unless you couple it with a subscription or something, but this projector is perfect for any family night and I had to include it. Also consider the minimalist garden from #5 since it’s definitely high tech in the pro version.
EMBER
I’ve been obsessed with Ember for years since I like my beverages to stay piping hot.
If you want a low tech meets high tech option, consider a Yeti Travel mug since no plugs are needed and the heat insulation is great.
It’s also easy to turn into a gift set by throwing it into a bag with an amazing coffee and/or a grinder. I like Purity Coffee since there is no oil on the outside of the beans–truly well dried for optimal freshness.
Or get the already ground Pocket Sachets for an easy “on the go” option with your mug. Perfect coffee every time.
I admit, curating this list was harder than I thought it would be since finding xmas gift sets for “her” depends on many factors, ie., is she sporty, like clean ingredients, designer brands, etc. After consulting with friends and family who span these diverse interests, I found they not only appreciated these choices but also enjoyed the playful uncertainty of which category they fit into! I believe you can’t go wrong with this list. 😉
