Sometimes when selecting a gift for someone else, you find something so perfect you’re tempted to keep it for yourself. These skincare gifts are so desirable, and well priced, you might just be sorry if you don’t get one, or more, for yourself as well and get a head start on great skin in the new year.
Looking for that over the top gift that might even move her – or him- to happy tears? The Sabon 31 Day Advent Calendar is the slam dunk choice. For starters, the artwork and packaging is so gorgeous, it’s tempting to not want to open it….but please do! Enjoy two boxes filled with full and travel sizes of their newest and/or best selling products: body lotions, hand lotions, exfoliating face and body scrubs, shampoos, shower oil, face polisher, face masks, and a lovely heart shaped metal scoop. $135

Enjoy your own spa at home with Fango Mud Mask for face and body to purify and minimize the appearance of pores, Advanced Delicato Mud Mask cleanses and moisturizes the most delicate skin ever so gently, and Radiante Revitalize + Firm Mask increases hydration and illumination for a gorgeous glow.

Although this adorable ornament isn’t skincare, it was just too cute and well priced not to add. And who doesn’t need a new neutral eye shadow palette? This delightfully packaged Limited Edition Eye Shadow Quad contains both matte and pearly shadows in flattering shades that suit everyone. While it’s a perfect tree ornament, the burgundy color doesn’t scream Xmas, and it’s a sweet gift any time of year. I’ve ordered a few to give to my gal-pals on Galentine’s Day. Stock up, only $9.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
