One editor shares the ultimate edit of the best beauty Christmas gifts for 2025.

With the festive season fast approaching, we wanted to curate the ultimate gift guide of the pieces we truly think are worth it, so you’ll know your chosen item will be treasured for years to come. Featuring everything from luxury homeware and editor-adored beauty products to show-stopping handbags and forever accessories, whether you’re shopping for a loved one or for yourself, consider this the perfect destination for all your gifting needs. Happy shopping!
Christmas is my favourite time of year. The food, the films, the family time… everything about it brings me joy. However, nothing brings me as much joy as giving gifts to the ones I love. Specifically, beauty gifts. As a beauty editor, I know just how exciting it is to receive a new perfume or that luxury skincare product you've been eyeing for months, and I love watching people's faces light up when they see which beauty gifts I've carefully chosen for them.
The thing is, at this time of year, it seems as if every single brand has multiple gift sets to choose from. The minute I set foot into a shop, I'm overwhelmed by all of the offerings, so I thought it was about time to streamline the whole process, which is why I've put together the ultimate gift guide for any beauty lovers in your life. From the covetable Dyson Airwrap to chic makeup sets courtesy of Victoria Beckham Beauty, and candles, bath oils and body creams galore, I've included something for everyone, so you can rest easy knowing that all your beauty gift shopping will be done early this year. Just think of me as your own, personal (very luxurious) Santa.
38 Best Christmas 2025 Beauty Gifts
First up is one of Team Who What Wear UK's all-time favourite perfumes, now available in a limited-edition bottle for Christmas. If you haven't yet smelled Diptyque's Orphéon scent, I highly recommend visiting your nearest perfume counter. It is undoubtedly one of the chicest fragrances around, oozing French-girl charm with notes of juniper berry, cedar, tonka bean and jasmine. It's warm, heady and slightly powdery, making it a perfect choice for this time of year. Plus, this bottle is a work of art.
If you want to re-create Victoria Beckham's iconic eye makeup look, then VB's new Cocoa Collection Holiday Set is the answer. Featuring the brand new Eye Wardrobe in the shade Cocoa, alongside two Satin Kajal Liners and the popular Future Lash Mascara in a soft brown shade, you'll have the brown smoky eye of dreams in no time at all. This is the ultimate gift for any makeup lover, and comes housed in the chicest holiday gift wrap.
This Christmas, Dyson has released a new colourway for its iconic hair tools, called Amber Silk. If someone you know (and love dearly) is keen to get their hands on the Dyson Airwrap, I highly suggest snapping up this stylish version for them. It comes complete with new intelligent attachments and a motor that generates even more air pressure for faster styling.
For the person who has everything, why not treat them to this über-chic refillable lipstick case from Guerlain? The new feather print is utterly divine, and the case even comes with a mini mirror, so you can do your makeup on the go. Just choose your shade of Rouge G insert, and you have a beauty keepsake that will last decades.
This is for the manicure lovers. Housed in the brand's iconic orange box, Hermès has created the perfect shade of red nail polish for December and beyond.
Who doesn't love a winter candle? I get my mum a Jo Malone London one every year, as she always raves about the impressive scent projection. So, if you want your home to smell of orange chocolate this Christmas, this is the candle to go for.
For that cool friend who is always on top of trending fragrances, you can't go wrong with Merit's Retrospect perfume. In fact, I don't know anyone who wouldn't love this soft, clean, skin-like scent.
Oribe is one of the most luxurious haircare brands on the market, and the Gold Lust shampoo and conditioner are easily some of the brand's very best products. Treat the one you love to this incredible gift set that comes with a litre-sized bottle of each.
This lipstick needs no introduction. A makeup lover's dream, the luminous colour and hydrating formula come housed in a black metal case featuring the iconic Louis Vuitton monogram motif.
I ask for new makeup brushes every single year, and the Hourglass ones are always at the top of my list, as they truly are the crème de la crème of makeup tools. This set features travel-sized versions of the most popular brushes, including the Vanish Seamless Finish Concealer Brush, all housed in a stylish brush bag.
Who wouldn't want an LED mask for Christmas? We've tested lots of the most popular models, and this Shark one continues to blow us away with the addition of cooling under-eye cryo technology.
This is my favourite cream blush of all time, and if Father Christmas is reading this, I would love a top-up this year. I've got everyone I know hooked on the buttery formula, so I suspect this will be very popular come December.
Know someone who loves the finer things in life? I guarantee that they will appreciate this La Bonne Brosse hairbrush more than anyone else. Not only is it a work of art, but it will leave their hair feeling silky-soft.
Party season is upon us, which is why a shimmering scented body oil would make a great gift this December. I've got my eyes on this stunning bottle from Tom Ford.
I think this might be one of the most incredible beauty gifts I have ever seen. Chanel has created a purse-friendly perfume bottle complete with a gold jewellery chain to be worn around the wrist, which comes with three refills of Chanel N°5 and a travel pouch. This is the kind of gift they'll keep forever and ever.
If salon-worthy waves are what you're after, say hello to GHD's newest curling tong. With the most impressive technology yet, this is bound to be a hit.
We all love a soak in the tub at this time of year, but to elevate the experience, pop a bottle of Susanne Kaufmann's Mountain Pine Bath Soak under their tree. The fresh mountain pine scent is perfect for this time of year and will leave them feeling totally invigorated.
Any skincare lover will appreciate a little Augustinus Bader this December. For the ultimate gift, opt for The Elixir, a hydrating serum featuring a concentrated formula driven by the brand's most advanced version of TFC8.
I always rave about the Gisou hair perfume, and this Christmas, the brand has released a new delicious scent trio for gourmand fragrance lovers. Featuring Vanilla Glaze, Sticky Toffee and Milky Mocha, these smell almost good enough to eat.

If you're yet to try Beauty Pie's Le Smash Santal fragrance, where have you been? It's the most expensive-smelling aroma, and although I have the perfume, this shimmering body cream will be perfect for layering the scent.
Who doesn't love a new mascara? For a Christmas treat, I'll be getting my friends this one from Burberry, as I know they'll swoon over the chic packaging and volumising formula.
I would never normally buy myself a luxury body wash or body cream, which is why this Aesop set makes such a good gift. Featuring the fresh, green and citrusy geranium leaf scent, each product comes housed in Aesop's much-loved brown bottles.
I'm sure plenty of us will be putting at least one Refy product on our Christmas list, and if you're not sure what to go for, I recommend this gel-cream moisturiser. The metal roller makes this hydrating formula a dream to apply.
For a little bit of luxury gift-giving, I recommend this fragrance from Maison Francis Kurkdjian. The warm, sensual scent is utterly addictive, and whoever you gift this to will be eternally grateful, I'm sure.
Another excellent stocking-filler for the beauty lover who has everything. Halfeti is my favourite scent from Penhaligon's, and this hand cream would make a gorgeous addition to anyone's handbag.
