2025 Skincare & Wellness Gift Guide: From Stocking Stuffers to Luxury Finds
Things that make me happy? Giving others the perfect gift, and I’m sure you are the same!
I compiled a list of skincare, beauty, and wellness items that I think would make great gifts for this holiday season (or really any time of year🎁). As always, you won’t find anything from Amazon, Target, or Walmart here; as much as I can, I like to support smaller companies or companies I trust ethically.
Enjoy! Happy holidays!
Stocking Stuffers & Host Gift Ideas $25 and Under
Supergoop Glow Gloss SPF 40 Lip Balm
The perfect small gift or stocking stuffer for anyone who loves a good lip gloss! The best part about this one is that the SPF 40 protects the skin of your lips from UV damage.
Scrub Me Skin Care Soap Bars
I might be biased because I make these soaps, but they really do make the best gifts! I love giving these around the holidays and bringing them as a host gift. Your recipients can use them for hands or body; they display beautifully in a guest bathroom.
Scrub Me Skin Care Multipurpose Balm
This little tin of multipurpose balm is a great stocking stuffer for anyone! And they will be thanking you for giving them something that saves their skin this winter.
Adorn Candle
These small-batched, Chicago-made candles come in SO many irresistible scents, some made with essential oil blends. I don’t like fake fragrance, commercial candles, air fresheners, or perfumes, but I love these candles. A great gift for anyone!
Well People Powder Palette
Well People is a brand with esthetician-approved makeup and skincare items that also happen to be very affordable. This powder palette is the perfect gift for anyone looking for skin-safe, quality makeup items.
Well People Snow Mushroom Eye Cream
I’ve linked this eye cream in a couple of my blog posts, and that’s because it’s a great hydrating item for your eye area. This mushroom extract eye gel is made to retain moisture molecules, similar to hyaluronic acid but even more hydrating. Who wouldn’t love a hydrating eye cream in their stocking?
Four Sigmatic Protect Herbal Tea
Know someone who loves to sit down with a hot mug of tea? This herbal tea blend supports your immune system and tastes amazing! This would be a great host gift or stocking stuffer.
Skincare Gift Sets Everyone Will Love
scrub me secret: Growing up, makeup, skincare, and beauty accessory gift sets were my all-time favorite gifts. And I still love getting them as a gift to this day. There’s nothing cuter than mini skincare and beauty items!
Josh Rosebrook Hydration Kit
A set of mini hydrating items from one of the best skincare lines! This hydration kit contains a mini hydrating mist, hydrating serum, moisturizing cream, and a blue tansy moisturizing mask. Such a perfect gift for anyone who loves skincare or who travels often.
Josh Rosebrook Renew Kit
Another great kit for the skincare lover in your life. This could even be a nice gift for someone looking to add more to their skincare routine. This kit comes with a mini facial scrub, hydrating serum, peptide cream (my favorite!), and moisturizing cream.
This kit is lovely because you can essentially give yourself a mini facial with this. Exfoliate - serum - peptide - vital balm cream. Remember to treat your neck, too!
Herbivore Little Luxuries Kit
A pack of 4 beautiful facial oils that each have different blends of ingredients, with varying benefits. There’s a calming oil, an anti-aging oil, a healing oil, and an oil for breakout-prone skin. This makes a great gift because it’s pretty and has great ingredients.
May Lindstrom “Box Of Chocolates” Skincare Minis
May Lindstrom makes such a great skincare gift because it is small-batch, luxury skincare in beautiful packaging. This “box of chocolates” set of skincare minis lets you try a little bit of everything in the skincare line, plus there are all the things you need in there for an at-home facial. There is a step-by-step of how to use everything here on their website; you could print out those directions on a little card and give it with this box as a gift.
Rare Beauty Lash & Brow Set
This mascara and brow gel makes a great gift for tweens, teens, and those who travel often. It’s even a perfect stocking stuffer or gift exchange gift!
Supergoop SPF Travel Kit
The Supergoop everyday lotion (SPF 50) is one of my esthetician-approved SPFs for face and body. I love this set of travel-friendly SPF lotion, mist, lip balm, and gel. It’s really the perfect gift for anyone, because everyone needs sun protection 😉
Wildling Empress Collection
An amazing gift for your friend, significant other, or family member who has just started their gua sha journey.

Everything in this kit is super luxurious and makes an amazing gift.

Skincare Gifts That Will Become Routine Staples
Scrub Me Skin Care Whipped Shea Butter
This has been one of my best-selling items for almost a decade! And for good reason, this whipped body butter is light as a cloud at first, and then turns into a rich, moisturizing oil once applied to your skin. The best part? It’s only 2 ingredients.
Choose from unscented, Bulgarian lavender (light, herbal, & floral), or citrus (bright, a little earthy, & fruity)
Scrub Me Skin Care Nourishing
Another best-selling scrub me skin care item. This jojoba-based facial oil contains antioxidant-rich grape seed that makes your skin GLOW. Plus, healing carrot seed essential oil and calming lavender essential oil blend to make a unique and delightful aroma. Skin care lovers in your life, or those who love plant-based products will really enjoy this gift.
Softest Skin Ever Set
This is such a fun gift for someone who loves skincare or loves a wellness moment at home. This mandarin body oil and body scrub glove set comes with a chart that shows your gift recipient how to best use their drybrush gloves.
True Botanicals Sugar Body Scrub
True Botanicals has such beautiful packaging; it always makes such a great gift. This skin brightening and softening sugar body scrub smells fresh, warm, and earthy with sandalwood essential oil and other plant extracts.
Wildling Empress Gua Sha Stone
A great gift for someone thinking about starting a face massage routine or someone who already loves to gua sha but could use an upgrade on their gua sha stone. You could even gift them this stone and then make time to do a face massage together!
In my “gua sha for beginners” blog post, I detail why I like this stone the best
scrub me secret: The Empress PLATINUM Stone made from 100% stainless steel is unbreakable! its a great gift for someone who has broken a couple gua sha stones in their day.
Josh Rosebrook Advanced Hydration Mask
This hydrating and moisturizing mask is a solid balm that melts onto your skin upon application. It feels luxurious and healing, and helps to soften and add hydration to your skin. The blue tansy in this mask has such a lovely aroma (and has great calming properties); any gift recipient will be excited to have it.
Unique Skincare & Wellness Gifts You Haven’t Seen Before
Skin Gym Goldie Roller
This little spiky roller isn’t as scary as it looks! It won’t poke, pierce, or damage the skin. The small spikey bumps are helpful for creating micro-circulation in areas where we want to reduce fine lines or wrinkles. I have an easy YouTube tutorial that shows you how to best use a textured facial roller for rejuvination. A perfect gift for the skincare lover who already has all the other tools.
True Botanicals Chebula Hand Cream
Who doesn’t need a great hand cream? This special cream has plant-extract antioxidants that help improve collagen cells and even skin tone. It also contains hydration-binding hyaluronic acid and skin-evening niacinamide. Essential oils and plant extracts give this product a fresh, floral aroma.
Wildling Empress Stimulating Scalp Gua Sha
I’ve given this scalp gua sha stone as a gift to a few of my friends. It’s great for someone who already has all the other tools or even someone who isn’t that into face massage. Use this gua sha stone to massage the scalp, releasing tension and stimulating healthier hair growth. It feels amazing to use and looks pretty on your countertop.
Pique Sun Goddess Matcha
Do you have a matcha lover in your life? They will totally appreciate the quality of this ceremonial-grade matcha, and they’ll love the aesthetic tin too!
scrub me secret: Looking for a unique luxury gift for the family member or friend who is obsessed with wellness? This pique tea coffee alternative made with superfood mushrooms, cacao, and black tea tastes like a rich hot chocolate and is so good for you, too. They’ll love it! Maybe this and a cute mug or kettle.
PaleoValley Superfood Bar (small case)
These superfood bars are a tasty treat! The wellness and nutrition-conscious person in your life will love these nutrient-rich snack bars made with real ingredients like pumpkin seeds, kale, broccoli, berries, and more. They come in great flavors like pumpkin spice, red velvet, lemon meringue, and apple cinnamon.
These would be a fun gift for a college student, someone who loves an on-the-go snack, a friend who is about to travel, or anyone who appreciates snacks with great ingredients.
UPF 50 Sun Protection Hat
A perfect gift for runners, hikers, and those who love to take long walks, or maybe that person you know who always forgets to apply SPF 👀
Jones Road Miracle Balm
This creamy skincare balm can be used as blush, bronzer, eyeshadow, for an overall glow, or really whatever you want! This beauty balm is made with non-pore-clogging jojoba oil, vitamin E, and fatty acids that help restore and protect our skin barrier. I have this rosy color, and there are quite a few other options as well.
scrub me secret: Jones Road just launched a holiday set of mini miracle balms! Super cute gift idea 🎁
And sometimes the best gift isn’t an item at all, it’s time well spent together. Cooking a meal, writing a letter, planning an outing, and simply spending intentional time connecting counts as a gift too 🥰
