Every year it seems the holiday season approaches at a more rapid pace than ever before. Will we ever catch up? Perhaps not, but we can get ahead of it. Preparing for the holidays means thinking about who you’ll be buying gifts for and more importantly, what you’ll be buying them!

For some people, giving gifts is second nature; they may even call it their love language. For others, however, gift giving is a little more challenging. It can be hard to know what to get everyone and satisfy every person’s wants, needs, and preferences on your list. That’s why we put together the ultimate holiday skincare gift guide. Complete with holiday skincare gift sets as well as individual skincare gift products you can mix and match, this guide will give you all the inspiration and information you need to enter into the season of giving with confidence.

What to Know About Giving Skincare Gift Sets

Malie offers so many fantastic skincare products that can make the perfect gift for a special person in your life. Before you move ahead with stocking up on holiday skincare gift sets, however, it is important to keep a few things in mind.

1. Allergies

Find out if the person you plan on giving the skincare gift to is allergic to any ingredients. Receiving skincare products as a gift can be exciting and luxurious, but only as long as the person who gets the gift doesn’t have a negative reaction to what’s in it.

2. Skin conditions

Similar to allergies, check to make sure that the person to whom you’re giving these products does not have skin conditions that may prevent them from being able to use it.

3. Fragrances

The nose knows all. If possible, find out the gift recipient’s favorite scent or preferred scent profile and try to match it in the skincare gift you present them with. Even if you don’t know exactly what their favorite scent is, general ideas such as fruity, floral, or musky aromas will point you in the right direction.
