With the clock ticking on Christmas, I know many of my friends are still in search of amazing gift ideas. Inspired by the list that I put together for the people on my holiday gift list and my personal wish list, here are some great gift ideas under £50 or around $60 ish. Check them out and please let me know if I helped inspire any last minute gifts for yourself or friends and family!
Charlotte Tilbury Collagen Lip Bath Icons Kit
Fact: Lip glosses, balms or lipsticks make great gifts. I love having a big collection with one in every handbag so I am never without. This lip trio from Charlotte Tilbury is a gloss lover’s dream. With three shades, the set features a high-shine berry gloss, a nude-pink, and clear gloss for plumper-looking lips. If you want to make the gift even bigger, I think this eyeshadow palette is stunning!

Rituals Gift Sets – Ritual of Sakura and Ritual of Ayurveda
I am recommending two different Rituals Gift sets, the Ritual of Sakura and the Ritual of Ayurveda. I have been gifted both of these gift sets in the scents before and they are lovely. However, the Rituals brand overall is fantastic and makes for a great idea for a last minute gift that is truly useful. The Ritual of Sakura set is slightly more premium with a body cream, body scrub, foaming shower gel, and a scented candle, it indulges the senses with the renewing fragrance of cherry blossom and rice milk. While, there are both small and medium options with different price points for the Ritual of Ayurveda scent, with the small one including a foaming shower gel, rich body oil, body cream, and a hair & body mist.

Fresh Sugar Tinted Lip Balms Set
Yes, another lip balm set! But, hear me out. The Charlotte Tilbury set is very much for the glamour girl in your life while the Fresh Sugar Tinted Lip Balms Set is more practical. To be fair, every woman should have a hydrating lip balm and a fabulous lipstick and/or gloss in her handbag, so you cannot go wrong with them both. This set includes mini lip balms in four shades, offering all-day moisture and buildable color. Infused with sugar and plant-based fruit oils, these balms leave lips feeling healthy and looking naturally beautiful.

NARS Orgasm Afterglow Lipstick and Mini Liquid Blush Duo
Confession: Cheeky name aside, I love the shade of NARS orgasm. The set includes a NARS Orgasm Afterglow Lipstick and Mini Liquid Blush Duo. The shimmering pink shade is universally flattering. Plus, for the right friend or significant other, this gift set could make for a fun little joke with the ‘orgasm’ name. Too much or juuuust enough? I’ll let you decide!
Here’s where to find it: Lookfantastic US and Cult Beauty UK and Kohl’s US and Harrods UK
OPI Holiday 2023 Nail Lacquer Mini 10-Piece Gift Set
If you have a friend or family member that likes to paint their own nails, I think this 10-piece gift set from OPI makes for a fabulous gift. I know many women get their nails done in the salon every few weeks, but I have always painted my own. Having new color options, plus the minis which are great for travel would be right up my alley!
Here’s where to find it: John Lewis UK and OPI USA
Moroccanoil Luminous Wonders Repair Gift Set
Moroccanoil has many lovely gift sets this Christmas but I thought this repair set was nice as it includes both hair and hands. The set features the Moisture Repair Shampoo & Conditioner, Moroccanoil Treatment, and a hydrating hand cream. This gift is equal parts practical and luxe – and great for travelers!

Bonus: Beautiful Eyeshadow Palettes
If the Christmas themed makeup palette from Too Faced is not quite right, here are a few other eyeshadow palettes that caught my eye (pun intended!). You cannot go wrong with a beautiful eyeshadow palette and these shades are all universally flattering – e.g. no really out there colors. Perfect for the classic beauty in your life:
