Sharing my 2022 beauty gift guide favorites today! All the best in skincare and makeup, gift sets and jumbo-size favorites — the perfect time of year to try something new.
I love putting together a beauty gift guide each year. While I regularly share the products I’m loving in my monthly favorites, the holiday season brings extra-special sets, limited editions and larger sizes that make trying new things or gifting longtime favorites even easier. Right now many retailers run seasonal sales, so you can often find these items at a discount.
Gift sets are one of my favorite parts of this season — they’re great for sharing, filling stockings, or sampling brands before committing to full sizes. Below are tried-and-true picks across hair, skin, body and makeup that I reach for and recommend.
2022 Beauty Gift Guide
Hill House Silk Pillowcase. I switched to this silk pillowcase last year and love the zipper closure and ultra-smooth finish.
Killian Angels Share Perfume. A warm, spicy, ambery scent with a cider-like sweetness — perfect for fall and winter. Know the recipient’s preferences before gifting.
Dyson Hair Dryer. A serious splurge but worth it if you have thick hair — it has changed how quickly and smoothly I dry my hair.
Dyson Air Wrap. My go-to styler when I want body and waves without many tools — replaces hot rollers and curling irons for me.
Dyson Straightener. A newer favorite — delivers great results if you prefer a high-end straightener.
T3 Curling Wand. My reliable curling wand for years — I turn to it when I’m not using the Air Wrap.
Detangle Brush Duo. My everyday brush; gentle enough for my child’s hair as well.
Kitsch Terry Cloth Towel Scrunchie. Perfect for damp hair — soft and absorbent.
Water-Resistant Toiletry Bag. High-quality and practical — one of my favorite travel bags.
Sephora Pro Brush Set. Excellent brushes and often available during seasonal sales.

Bader Daily Duo. A pricier brand but this kit offers excellent value — it has helped my skin immensely.
Simple Human Makeup Mirror. A daily splurge-worthy mirror we both use every day.
Masking Minis Set. A go-to that I repurchase yearly for variety and convenience.
Makeup Eraser Set. I use these with cleansing oil to remove makeup — effective and soft on skin.

Calpak Clear Cosmetics Case. A travel favorite for organizing and seeing everything at a glance.
Vanity Kit. Lightweight and simple — another travel-friendly option I use often.
Loccitane Hand Cream Set. A perennial favorite for gift add-ons — always well received.
