All times of year should be to share your gratitude for your loved ones. But when it comes to Christmas, it’s safe to say that a certain amount of spoiling—where possible—is essential.

Thankfully, for the skincare savants and makeup masterminds amongst us, gifting options are abundant. Whether they’re in need of a top-up of their go-to products or in need of a fresh update to their plentiful collections, there’s bound to be a perfectly packaged must-have to place under the Christmas tree.

Naturally, sourcing a shelfie-worthy stocking stuffer can feel intimidating. But, luckily, it doesn’t have to be.
