The best beauty gift sets for women this Christmas: From makeup to skincare, hair, nails & more
You can't go wrong with a beauty gift set for Christmas, and we've found the absolute best out there for women- with limited edition sets and exclusive offers.
If you've stumbled across this page, you're probably looking for the perfect beauty gift set that will wow.
With Christmas on the horizon, you might have one lingering question: what beauty gift set will spark that gasp on Christmas morning? To solve your gift-giving headache, I've curated the ultimate 2025 edit of skincare, makeup, hair and fragrance sets that deliver serious joy - and serious value. I don't want you to waste your money, so this edit will be gifts that I personally think are worth it. Whether you’re shopping for your skincare-obsessed best friend, your makeup-savvy sister, or your “I only use LEDs on my face” partner, this is your cheat sheet.
Why choose a beauty gift set?
Well, I personally opt for them because they're usually easy to wrap and look substantial enough to hand over. Obviously, you can't choose just any old gift set - for example, it's probably not a good idea to buy a Lip Kit for someone who rarely wears lipstick - but if you know she's always desperate for the latest Glossier launch, or she's forever reading up on skincare, there's a beauty gift set to suit everyone. Brands are getting even more savvy with their sets, too. These days you can get the bestsellers and cult classics mixed in with the new and exciting, or even festive exclusive sets to really get the pulse racing.
As someone who loves beauty, I've really tried to select the most people-pleasing gifts. I've looked up all the beauty faves and tried to be mindful of all budgets.
Sought after brands: A beauty gift set should be an impressive present to open. I've kept to the most sought after brands in the beauty stratosphere. From luxury gifts from the likes of Charlotte Tilbury, MAC Cosmetics, Dior Beauty and Chanel, to the more affordable options.
A mix of budgets: A beauty gift set can either be a 'main' present or it can be a stocking filler, I've included plenty of options to cater for all budgets below.
Easy to wrap: I'm sorry, but this is a bonus when it comes to a beauty gift set.
Best beauty gifts sets for Christmas 2025
Skincare sets that give the gift of glow
Skincare can often be a personal choice, but if you know someone's a fan of a particular skincare brand, it makes for a very cost-savvy gift that will stand the test of time. Many of this year’s makeshift skincare bundles revolve around cult creams, serums and under eye creams. The options I've highlighted below combine iconic names across various price points.
Give the gift of great skin for Christmas The ELEMIS Day & Night Wonder Duo includes the Pro-Collagen Night Cream and the Pro-Collagen Marine Cream SPF 30. I love both of these products - the Pro-Collagen Night Cream is clinically tested to improve hydration by 142% overnight, supporting skin’s natural renewal processes. It's infused with Hexapeptide-9, this overnight hero reveals a smoother, firmer and more radiant-looking complexion upon waking.
Estée Lauder Skincare Superstars Beauty Of The Night Gift Set
Estée Lauder is an easy choice for a skincare gift set - no one can argue with a discount like this, either. The products in here all include high-performance formulas.
I'm a huge fan of the Advanced Night Repair range so unwrapping this would make me excited to go to sleep. It's worth noting that the Advanced Night Repair Serum helps skin look smoother and less lined, younger, healthier and more radiant and even toned.
Caudalie is a fail-safe brand to choose when it comes to gifting - what's not to love? This set features it a trio of bestsellers from the cult brand. You've got the full-size Beauty Elixir which I seriously rate. It's a multi-tasking face mist that primes the skin, sets makeup and delivers an instant boost of radiance. Formulated with green grape and refreshing essential oils, the mist helps to hydrate the skin and visibly tighten the appearance of pores.

Editor Verdict: The best beauty gift sets to shop
Ooh, who doesn't love a cute beauty gift, but woah, they're not cheap are they? I noticed while putting together this edit that beauty gift sets are quite expensive, but there are options to fit all price ranges.
Charlotte Tilbury is a firm favourite of mine. I decided to include the Lip Kit gift set because it's a failsafe option, and would be a nice gift for your loved one.
Skincare definitely rules the show when it comes to beauty gifting. I've included are all brands I trust when it comes to skincare - and the options I've picked out would be the ones I'd choose myself.
For makeup lovers, you really can't go wrong with MAC Cosmetics or the Merit gift set - it's genius.
If I'm looking for a gift to really wow someone, I'd opt for Dior, La Mer and Chanel. You simply can't go wrong with these brands - they're all very chic and would get an ooh and aah from whoever opens their pressie.
If you're shopping for a teenager, Benefit, Saltair or Glossier would be brilliant options!
If you're shopping for someone a little more mature, the Caudalie skincare set would be a real winner, or perhaps the Estee Lauder gift set.
