In my humble opinion, beauty gift sets are foolproof presents that’ll always wow your beauty-obsessed friend, sister, significant other, aunt and mom. But what do you do when said beauty lover already has seemingly every beauty product? As editors who easily test hundreds of products a year, we are those recipients and we’re here for you. Keep reading for a non-product gift guide that’ll wow the beauty lover who already has everything.
For the local NYer
THE WELL Digital Gift Card
Want to really wow your favorite NYC resident? Get them a gift card to THE WELL. Known for its holistic approach to health and well-being, THE WELL provides curated services designed to renew, relax and rejuvenate. Think indulgent spa treatments (like an Integration Massage or a Signature Facial), acupuncture and even “Vibrational Energy Healing.”
For the jetsetter
Cadence The Parcel System (starts at $65)
Cadence transforms ocean-bound plastic and scrap materials into endlessly refillable, durable, modular containers for organizing personal care items. The Parcel System functions as an elegant and fully customizable travel bag that can hold way more products than you think. Its innovative design uses self-locating magnets that “lock” the bag for added security. (Bonus: Those magnets also connect multiple parcels to each other.)
For the friend always complaining about dry skin
Canopy Large Room Humidifier ($255)
That friend may as well be all of us as the winter air settles in and we crank up the indoor heating. Simply put, a humidifier is essential for healthy and hydrated skin year-round. Canopy’s versions are famous for being the easiest to clean (and parts are dishwasher safe), and you can opt-in to add a subscription so you have fresh filters sent automatically every 45 days. They also make humidifiers in smaller sizes to fit bedrooms and nurseries.
For the skin care enthusiast
Crownful Mini Fridge ($45)
What’s a key way to keep skin-care products effective and expand their shelf life? Keep them cool. A mini-fridge is the perfect solution. This four-liter, under-$50 pick has an impressive temperature range, comes with a detachable shelf and is super portable thanks to a travel-friendly handle and plugs for both standard home outlets and car chargers.
For the wellness fanatic
HigherDose Infrared PEMF Mat ($1,295)
Bring the benefits of muscle recovery, cell regeneration, deep relaxation and increased energy straight to the home of your wellness-obsessed loved one. It combines deep-penetrating heat from far infrared with low-level frequency from Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) for a full-body reset.
For the health-obsessed
Filterbaby Eco Pro Filtered Shower Head ($142)
Filterbaby’s faucet and shower head filters minimize hair and skin’s contact with physical contaminants and impurities found in unfiltered water, such as copper, hard minerals, lead, chlorine, microplastics, mercury and more. The result? A healthier, glowing complexion and lusciously strong hair. (Note: the Eco Pro shower head is currently available for pre-order only.)

Prominently featured in every selfie Hailey Bieber posts, Rhode’s Lip Case is a practical and perfect gift because who wants to dig through their purse for a tube of lip gloss?

A soft vegan leather travel pouch that can be personalized? Say no more. This two-part organizer will hold all your giftee’s favorite cosmetics, skin-care toiletries, small tech, etc., in style.
For the thirty-something girlfriend with a multi-step night routine
Soft Services Theraplush Overnight Repair Treatment ($62)
This luxe hand cream from Soft Services contains retinol, colloidal oatmeal and panthenol to reduce moisture loss and target wrinkles and fine lines. It also comes in a chic and refillable container that would look good on any nightstand.
For the hot chocolate lover
