For someone who lives and breathes beauty, give a gift that helps build the glow-up they’ve always wanted. These high-end tools and treatments bring beauty tech and considered rituals into their routine, helping create a strong foundation for brighter-looking skin, polished hair and that elevated, camera-ready finish.
From my go-to Augustinus Bader skincare to a Dyson Airwrap I can’t imagine being without, these are the splurge-worthy gifts I’d be excited to give or receive.
Augustinus Bader The Rich Rejuvenation Trio, £335
Augustinus Bader has become essential skincare for me, especially with the extreme changes in weather we’re experiencing. The Rich Cream has been a real saviour for my skin — I’ve finished two bottles — so this trio, with The Rich Cream, The Rich Eye Cream and The Elixir, would make a particularly lovely gift for someone looking to invest in their routine.
Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540 Sparkling Body Oil, £205
I love this body oil for layering with other scents when I want to smell delicious. It leaves skin softly scented and shimmering, making it especially lovely before heading out.
ZIIP HALO £379.99
I’ve used the ZIIP HALO religiously for two years, and it’s the best device I’ve found for snatching my face. I can tell when I skip my weekly use. It syncs with the app for 17 targeted treatments, with bespoke electrical waveforms and guided videos for concerns including fine lines, loss of firmness, dullness, texture and breakouts. Short on time, there’s also a four-minute facial for sculpt-and-go. The conductive gels contain active ingredients tailored to different skin goals.
Victoria Beckham Beauty The Eye Wardrobe Collection in Olive, £154
A lovely gift for someone who adores eye make-up. Victoria Beckham Beauty’s Satin Kajal Liner is iconic — one reportedly sells every 30 seconds — and this limited-edition Olive set gives you a whole look: an eyeshadow compact, two green liners and Vast Lash mascara.
GHD Duet Style Cashmere Beige Festive Gift Set, £399
For someone who loves a proper at-home blow-dry, this set pairs ghd’s wet-to-styled Duet Style with a paddle brush and luxe case. The styler combines airflow with heated plates to dry and style in one step, all in an elegant cashmere-beige finish.
Dior Délice Stackable Candle, £650
A true collector’s piece for someone who sees beauty in every detail. Sculpted in biscuit porcelain to recreate 30 Avenue Montaigne, this stackable candle fills a room with Dior Délice’s gingerbread warmth: cinnamon, clove, honey and vanilla. Once the candle has burned, its porcelain sections can be used as elegant trays.
Dyson Supersonic Nural Hair Dryer in Plum and Copper, £349.99
A high-performance hair dryer that brings a little more thought to the everyday blow-dry. Its Nural sensors detect how close the dryer is to your scalp and automatically lower the heat, while attachment learning remembers your preferred settings. The limited-edition Plum and Copper finish, inspired by the rare gemstone Kyawthuite, makes it a particularly special gift.
LYMA Laser with Limited-Edition Aspinal London Bag, £1,999
The ultimate beauty splurge for someone serious about at-home skincare technology. The LYMA Laser uses clinic-grade cold laser technology and comes with a limited-edition Aspinal London leather bag, plus a 30-day supply of LYMA Power Youth Mist and Mask.
