The Award for Best Gift-Giver Goes to You—29 Incredible Beauty Finds Under $29

By wazup on October 23, 2024 Comments Closed / 42 views

I hate to admit it, but I don’t consider myself the best gift-giver. (This is a safe space, right?) Even though I’m constantly shopping for work and for myself, I often wait until the last minute to buy gifts. I find myself rushing through aisles trying to find something that works instead of curating a gift that perfectly matches someone’s personality or style. One of my resolutions for 2024 was to spend more time sourcing thoughtful gifts for my friends and family, and thankfully, this resolution didn’t fall off my radar (like my others did back in February).

I’m determined to start my holiday shopping early this year, so I sifted through thousands of products to find the 29 best beauty items. To challenge myself even further, I focused on finding products that are $29 and under. Below, you’ll find everything from moisturizing hand creams and lip balm sets to multivitamins and scalp massagers. If you want to follow my lead and be crowned the best gift-giver this holiday season, just keep scrolling.

Burt’s Bees

Merry Berry Gift Set – Lip Balm, Squeezy Tinted Balm, and Hand Cream

I’m always forgetting my lip balm and begging my co-workers for hand cream, so this is the perfect set to leave at my desk.

Milani

Cheek Kiss Cream Blush in Blushing Berry

This is highly pigmented and the perfect berry color for fall.

Ceremonia

Scalp Massager

The best part of wash day is when this scalp massager comes out. Not only does it feel euphoric, but it gives me the best exfoliating massage from the comfort of my home.

Burt’s Bees

Kissable Color Gift Set in Warm

Give the gift of soft, bright and shimmery lips. They’ll thank you later.

Burt’s Bees

Kissable Color Gift Set in Frosty

I’d be remiss not to include this set in the frosty shade.

Glossier

Wavy Tray

Instagram marketing does it again! The pink shade went straight from my feed to my bathroom counter.

Burt’s Bees

Mistletoe Kiss Holiday Gift Set

All of your lip care and color needs in one cute set. No gift wrapping necessary.

Refy

Duo Face Brush

All the beauty influencers I trust swear by this brush. Give this luxe find to your friends who are building their makeup kits.

Burt’s Bees

Beeswax Bounty Classic Lip Balm Holiday Gift Set

When it comes to lip balms, the limit does not exist.

Tower 28 Beauty

SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray With Hypochlorous Acid

This is an award-winning facial spray for a reason. I like to think of this as a chill pill for stressed-out skin. No more redness, inflammation, or flare-ups.

Burt’s Bees

Hive Favorites – Beeswax Lip Balm & Travel Size Body Lotion

I’m filing this $5 moisturizing duo under “in-flight essential.” It’s perfect for the person in your life who is always catching flights.

Olly

Women’s Multivitamin

When it comes to self-care, makeup and skincare often take precedence over wellness. But with these must-have multivitamins, you can treat your friends to a gift that will support them from the inside out.

E.l.f. Cosmetics

Bronzing Drops in Copper Gold

Give the gift of a summer glow in the winter.

Burt’s Bees

Hive Favorites Lip Balm and Body Lotion Gift Set in Vanilla

They don’t call this a hive favorite for nothing. This vanilla bean flavor screams holidays.

Burt’s Bees

Mini Tinted Lip Balm Trio

I know that three conditioning lip treatments with naturally derived ingredients for $5 sounds too good to be true, but it’s real and waiting for you.

Burt’s Bees

Honey Pot Gift Set

As always, Burt’s Bees is an overachiever in the benefits department. The beeswax lip balm is infused with golden honey and vitamin E to soothe dry lips, the moisturizing body lotion nourishes dry skin for up to 24 hours, and the hand cream infuses your skin with hydration, giving it the softest feel.
