12 editor-approved fashion & beauty gifts that are guaranteed to impress
Elevated gifts for the pickiest person on your list.

Gift-giving season is upon us. And while you’ll find no shortage of lengthy guides with a seemingly endless suggestion of ideas, sometimes it’s easier to choose from a smaller pool. That’s where this gift guide comes in. Our tightly curated list features only the very best across fashion and beauty, but it still covers a range of preferences and price points. From a splurge-worthy winter coat we’ve already spied Sienna Miller wearing to must-have fashion accessories and beauty products for the cold weather, the list ahead will help you score major gifting points.
A slightly oversized wool coat for effortless winter styling
The fashion girls on social media love this London-based brand, but it’s made its way to Hollywood, too. Worn by celebrities like Katie Holmes, Aligne was more recently seen on Sienna Miller, who opted for this wool coat in the navy color. Designed with a slightly oversized fit to accommodate winter sweaters, the coat features a detachable tie belt as well as a button closure for days when you want to wear it sans wrap like Miller.

A giant quilted bag that’s perfect for active lifestyles
This quilted bag from Free People’s activewear line, FP movement, is spacious enough to act as a travel bag, but stylish enough to bring with you to the office. Whether you use it as a gym bag or commuter tote, it’ll carry everything in style — and it’s practically indestructible, too.

A body-care duo that keeps skin silky all winter long
The cold weather outside and the cranked-up heating indoors can quickly leave you with dry, flaky skin. This body-care duo will immediately give you smoother skin, using a serum and oil combo that was formulated to give you a glow without the grease. First, there’s the lightweight body serum, which plumps up skin right away and brightens with continued use, thanks to its blend of hyaluronic acid, vegan peptides, and niacinamide. Then, to lock in all that moisture (and add even more into the mix), there’s OSEA’s seaweed-infused body oil, which creates a silky finish as it imparts a grapefruit and mango scent.
A cozy faux-fur hat that nails the old money aesthetic
For your most fashionable friend, this faux-fur hat gives you a more polished way to accessorize than the typical winter beanie. Made from wool and then trimmed with faux fur for added warmth, the one-size-fits-all hat comes in two neutral colors (the off white shown here, and brown) to match any winter coat.

A sampling of Augustinus Bader’s most popular products
This four-piece set is the most luxurious beauty offering on this list, but it also comes with the most endorsements, as celebrities from Victoria Beckham to Dua Lipa have sung the praises of the skin care brand. Founded by biomedical scientist and physician, Augustinus Bader, the products are all powered by a patented skin-healing technology Bader developed while working in the stem cell biology and regenerative medicine fields. In this set, that translates to a cream cleanser, essence, face cream, and eye cream that work hard to protect and repair the skin. It even comes ready to gift in a rose gold pouch that can be reused once your giftee finishes the products.
A cute gingham pajama set that can be personalized
Pajamas are always a solid gift, and this cozy set from Hill House makes for the ideal loungewear when hanging around the house during that lazy week between Christmas and New Year’s. The patterned PJs feature a cute ruffle trim and bow tie closures at the front of the top, and the set is made with the same brushed cotton fabric as the brand’s viral Nap Dresses. Plus, the pajamas can be customized with the recipient’s initials when you select the monogram option for an additional $15.

An exfoliating & radiance-enhancing duo to reset your skin
This gift set is a great way to reset skin after a season of holiday parties that involve late nights in makeup, but it can really help your complexion whenever you need a refresh. Formulated with ingredients that represent the founder of Love, Indus’ childhood in India and early adult years in New York City, the set includes an exfoliating mask that uses sulfur-rich palash extract to cleanse pores and marigold extract to soothe. There’s also the brand’s best-selling Amrutini Luminosity Dewdrops Serum, which improves skin radiance by imparting moisture and supporting collagen production with ingredients like hydrolyzed Muga silk, copper gluconate, and antioxidant-rich Makaibari tea leaf extract.
A birthstone necklace that’s less than $100
This birthstone charm necklace has both the jewelry and astrology enthusiasts on your shopping list covered. In addition to the lab-grown gemstones that you can match to the recipient’s birth month, the necklace can be further customized by choosing from several chain lengths and either sterling silver or 14-karat gold. The aura gemstones were selected to represent various meanings like confidence and luck, so you don’t necessarily have to go by birthstone.

A cute little neck scarf that looks hand-knitted
The most budget-friendly gift on our list, this hand-crocheted bandana brings the vintage vibes. The smaller size gives you more ways to wear the bandana, which can be styled around your waist, knotted around a ponytail, or tied at the neck. It’ll dress up any basic sweater-and-jeans combo, and actually keeps your neck warm, too.

Moisturizing under-eye patches that use diamond powder to blur imperfections
You can gift these under-eye patches on their own or include them in a DIY beauty set. The green hydrogel masks work in minutes to take down puffiness and hydrate parched skin with ingredients like green tea leaf extract, cucumber extract, avocado fruit extract, and hyaluronic acid. They’re also infused with light-reflecting diamond powder to camouflage unwanted dark circles right away, while the niacinamide in the patches works more gradually to brighten skin.
A dainty watch with old money energy — but is less than $200
There are no flashy logos or sparkly embellishments on this luxe-looking watch, which means it complements a larger range of styles. The dainty watch comes in various stainless steel and 18-karat gold-plated designs, each of them featuring a slim, woven mesh band and mother of pearl dial for understated elegance.
