This Year’s Holiday Gift Sets Are Dangerously Good

This year’s holiday gift sets are dangerously good, which is a relief because if you’re anything like me—a lover of gifting fine things who prefers to pay less than a week’s rent for them— now you’ve got a secret weapon up your sleeve - Beauty Pie. Our holiday sets this year are dangerously good. 

Think top-shelf products but without the price tags that make you question your life choices. So, in the spirit of avoiding mall stampedes and saving our holiday sanity, let me share a bit of advice about shopping our newest collection of holiday sets.

What Should You Be Worrying About Selling Out?

The Fir Balsam Candle ALWAYS sells out. Yes, it’s green, it’s woodsy, and it smells like you spent Christmas in a mansion in the Swiss Alps. This year, people are also falling headfirst for the Firewood candle. Light it, and voilà—suddenly you’re curled up by an imaginary roaring fire hearing the wood crackling in the grate, possibly sipping an aged scotch.

Already, lots of people are buying them in the duo, or better still the trio with the Bitter Orange & Blackcurrant candle, which has finally made a return to the warehouse! 

Now, if you’re looking to gift someone a set that feels like it’s been handpicked by the skincare gods, the 6-piece Superstar Facial Starter Kit is for you. It isn’t just an assortment—it’s the absolute best of the best, a curated lineup of powerhouse products that will make even the most skeptical recipient reconsider their approach to self-care. Imagine their face (literally) glowing with gratitude after the first use, thanks to a peptide-packed serum, a Swiss Miracle moisturiser, and a cleanser so gentle it practically sings them a lullaby. But these are moving ridiculously quickly, so please get your hands on yours, pronto. 

What Are Beauty OTT Types Obsessing Over?

The full-face Rose Quartz Face Mask (we’ve also brought back last year’s Eye Mask version too, because everyone who missed out was so distraught. It’s like depuffing crystal therapy for your face, whether you believe in the power of lymphatic drainage or just had one too many last night. As you lie back with this on, you’ll look like you’re either summoning divine energy or plotting revenge in the most glamorous way possible. SUCH a good gift. 

What's MK Most Excited About?

We pinged her on Slack, and got this response: Perfume! The NEW Amber 001 and Flower Drench Eaux de parfums, plus the return of Vanille Nue, which I’ve been out of for MONTHS.  And the Skincare Starter Kits The most fabulous travel sizes in the ‘Superstar Facial’ kit, and the can’t go wrong ‘Everyone Loves These’ set.  Now, both come with a 3-month membership. So perfect for anyone who wants to give a gift that says, “You’re fabulous, try not to break the bank.”

Ummmm…yes? Who’s going to be offended by getting a world-leading skincare formula?  Only someone who hates looking fabulous. Worst case, keep this popular little duo for yourself and hand them a candle. Problem solved.
