The Venn diagram between the beauty lovers in your lives and the best gift-giver you know is probably a circle. That’s because those in the know when it comes to the latest in scents, serums and creams spend an inordinate amount of time scouring the net for the hottest releases. They keep their ear streets and aren’t just in the know—they are the know.
Beauty lovers particularly enjoy making little luxuries out of everyday experiences like a particularly rich hand cream to use before bed or a special-occasion luxury fragrance. They basically invented the concept of romanticizing your life.
The gift-giving season is the ideal time to give mini luxuries, which are basically pricier everyday items someone would feel a little guilty buying for themselves on a regular basis but make the perfect non-bank-breaking price.
Basically, when it comes to gift-giving, beauty lovers are seldom bested, but this list of top-of-the-line beauty products will wow even the most adept beauty lovers in your life and show them that you know a thing or two about the glimmering world of aesthetics yourself.
Indulgent Body Creams
Winter is dry skin’s barren playground, so people are probably going through lotions and creams with irregular swiftness. Hence, a thick body butter is a welcome addition to just about every winter skin arsenal. Plus, indulgent creams that are priced above what the everyday person wants to spend on an everyday lotion are the perfect sweet spot for a statement-making gift.
