Why You Should Gift Beauty Products In Bundles This Holiday Season
November 24, 2021BruceDayneFact: There is an elite group of people on your holiday gifting list for whom you would do the absolute most. Whether it’s your mother, your work spouse, or your significant other-turned-roommate, they’re the people who are often the hardest to shop for, but in your heart of hearts, you know you want to give them the world. But when the entire world is too tall an order, allow us to present our case for gifting beauty bundles.
Beauty products keep on giving long after the holiday ends, and we can almost guarantee they won’t be asking for the gift receipt once they open their completely customized Ulta Beauty haul. Sure, ready-made gift sets are a great (and easy) option, but there's something about tailoring a little kit to fit all the specific things they want and need that feels way more meaningful.
We realize that sounds like way too much work, which is why we put together a list of beauty starter packs filled with all the self-indulgent staples your core circle will love. Keep reading to see and shop each bundle right now, and wrap up your holiday shopping early.
For The Mom Who Has it All
As much as she insists that a card would suffice, you know in your heart of hearts that she deserves the world. Treat her like the icon she is with equally iconic beauty staples. Let the MAC Retro Matte set — packed with a duo of the brand’s superstar red hues in Ruby Woo and Ruby New — and the elegant floral mix of Tiffany & Co. Rose Gold Eau de Parfum bring out her inner bombshell, while the OUAI Melrose Place Candle used in tandem with the Keys Soulcare Spa Moment Holiday Set will help her achieve some needed moments of zen.

For Your Lifelong BFF
You’ve been best friends for years — possibly even decades at this point — and it’s weird to think about a time before you were practically joined at the hip, constantly corresponding between text messages rich with inside jokes and a steady flow of memes that remind you of each other. Throw it back to your trapper-keeper days with the ORLY x Lisa Frank Confetti Topper, then let the Revlon x Megan Thee Stallion Palette remind her of the hottie she is.
The dynamic hues play nicely with Benefit’s Mascara Mixer Set, which is packed with three full-size tubes of its most-loved formulas so she can play with different effects. The NARS Matte and Glow Mini Lip Duo also gives her some tone-on-tone options to complete her full face, while the Ellis Brooklyn Fully Booked Rollerball Gift Set offers up to five different ways to match her scent to her mood.

For Your Work Spouse
You and your work bestie have seen each other through some serious highs and lows, so you know they’re in need of some serious R&R — especially as the two of you frantically work to wrap projects ahead of the holiday season. Appropriately, Tonymoly’s Keep It Zen Lavender Set could be just what they need, with a duo of sheet masks, a sleeping mask, and hand cream to bring on calming vibes.
Once it’s time to clock out, the Homebody Amethyst + Alchemist CBD Bath Bomb Soak paired with a true crime podcast will help take the edge off the day. Too Faced’s Hangover Lip Balm Set will come to their aid the morning after your frequent and cathartic happy hours (that almost always turn into karaoke nights), while Sunday Riley’s C.E.O. Glow Facial Oil helps their complexion shine like the bright light they are, while manifesting visions of what’s to come.

For Your Live-In S.O.
Even though they claim they’re not into skin care, they have absolutely no qualms taking a generous scoop of that ultra-luxe cream you reserve for special occasions. Get them started on their own regimen (so that they’ll stop messing with yours) with these staples.
Packed with a cleanser, moisturizer, and eye cream, Tula’s three-piece kit sets the groundwork a good skin-care routine, while I Dew Care’s Peel Lit Vitamin C Treatment Pads provide some gentle exfoliation with a side of radiance. The Balm Squad from Jack Black will help to kick chapped lips to the curb, while Drunk Elephant’s Umbra Sheer Physical Daily Defense provides the UV-protective shield they should use every day — yes, even in the winter, and yes, even if it’s cloudy.

For The Aspiring Influencer Sister
With a substantial TikTok following paired with her effortless ability to inject any conversation with trending colloquialisms, she’s the Cool Teen™ us mere mortals aspire to be, and her gift should reflect that — while being worthy of a live unboxing, naturally. With I Dew Care’s White Cat Headband to keep her layers out of her face, Kinship’s Glow Squad 4-Step Healthy Skincare Routine is the stuff sped-up skin-care videos are made of.
Despite being born at the tail-end of the Y2K era (and never having struggled with comma-shaped brows in her formative years), she’ll be able to turn out early aughts-inspired looks for her feed with Urban Decay’s Naked Cyber Palette, while Ariana Grande’s fresh, fruity God Is a Woman Eau de Parfum will provide the pièce de résistance for that shelfie moment on the grid.
