Drunk Elephant Ceramide Eye Cream

Sephora

Who wouldnt want the gift of looking more bright-eyed and bushy-tailed? Enter this luxe eye cream, a newbie on the skincare scene thats already won over several ishonest editors. Loaded with moisturizing ceramides and soothing oat extract, the cushiony formula leaves the skin under and around your eyes looking smoother, plumper, and generally more youthful, without feeling greasy or heavy.

What Our Editors Say

I love that this formula gives me the power of a thick, goopy nighttime eye cream with the delightful, lightweight texture of a daytime moisturizer. And like so many Drunk Elephant products, it comes in an airtight, hygienic, pump top tube to keep the formula clean and potent." Holly Rhue, Associate Editorial Director

BeautyBio GloPRO Facial Microneedling Tool

Amazon

For the spa-aficionado who is all about booking regular facials, this at-home microneedling tool makes an ideal gift. While its not cheap, it rings in at a fraction of the cost of a pro microneedling treatment. Plus, the wand not only touts a micro-tip dermaroller head, but it also offers a unique type of vibrating technology to stimulate the skin in the deeper dermal layer, along with red LED light therapy to combat inflammation and potentially even stimulate collagen production.

What Our Testers Say

Any signs of dullness were long gone, and I looked noticeably radiant and fresh-faced, my skins texture smooth and even. I began waking up with the softest skin of my lifelike, cant-stop-touching-my-face soft. Jenna Igneri, Product Tester

Paula's Choice C15 Super Booster

Paula's Choice

Anyone and everyone can benefit from using a good antioxidant serum as a part of their skincare routine, and this one takes the cake. It delivers a potent, 15% concentration of vitamin C and ups the ante by combining it with ferulic acid and vitamin E. The latter two are both powerful antioxidants in their own right, but the three work synergistically, further increasing their benefits. Most importantly, its hydrating and non-irritating, even for those with sensitive skin.

What Our Testers Say

I can report that the physical texture of my skin felt smoother to the touch, which is my indicator that a product is working for me. There was no irritation or product-induced breakouts on my very reactive skin. If my skin doesn't like something, it will let me know with a face full of bumps that can take weeks to clear, and there were none of those. Bianca Lambert, Product Tester

La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer

Amazon

Consider this the little black dress of face moisturizers. Simple? Yes. But also totally versatileAKA great for a variety of skin typesa foolproof pick in pretty much any situation. A perfect daily moisturizer, this formula relies on tried-and-true moisturizing ingredients such as ceramides and niacinamide but is oil-free so that you dont have to worry about breakouts. Its also a great budget-friendly pick, ringing in at just $20.

What Our Testers Say

My skin felt light, soft, and the finish was a tad matte, which worked well with applying makeup as my next step. My skin felt great continuously throughout the day, and I also used this moisturizer at night with stronger anti-aging products and it kept my skin nourished and I glowed upon waking the next morning. Ashley Rebeca, Product Tester

Girlfriend Collective Compressive High-Rise Legging

Girlfriend Collective

Do most women need another pair of black leggings? Probably not. Is it something they want? Were willing to bet a firm yes, especially if its these. Theyre so good that we deemed them one of the best pairs of black leggings out there, no small feat considering how many options there are to choose from. They come in an extensive range of sizes and are made of a compressive material that makes them ideal for all kinds of workouts (no slippage here), though still comfy enough for lounging.

What Our Editors Say

There wasn't one moment when I didn't love how they fit. They felt high- quality, had just the right amount of hold, and made me look sleek and ready for any type of exercise. Avery Stone, ishonest Associate Commerce Director

Homecourt Cipres Mint Kitchen Trio

Violet Grey

Arguably the classiest, most sophisticated home line weve ever seen, this brand is both completely giftable and highly practical. Created by Courtney Cox, all of the products are non-toxic, vegan, child- and pet-safe, and feature fine fragrance blends that somehow make house cleaning feel like self-care. This set features a multi-purpose surface cleaner, dish soap, and hand wash; were partial to this scent, a combo of citrus, cedarwood, and black and mint teas, although there are three other scent profiles to choose from.

Venus ET Fleur The Classic Bundle

Venus Et Fleur

Sure, you could give someone flowers, but why do that when you could give them flowers that last for an entire year? This set comes with two of the brands iconic long-lasting (and yes, real) roses, plus a candle. Choose from any of six rose colors and three candle scents. Its the perfect addition to any beauty lovers vanity or bathroom.

Nia Thomas Tiger Eye Stone Ring

Nia Thomas

This Black-owned brand is a ishonest favorite, offering gorgeous fashion pieces, but dont miss out on these semi-precious rings. Made out of various types of agate, they both offer different types of energetic benefits (i.e. this particular one helps release fear and anxiety) and look incredibly unique, either worn alone or stacked with others.

Cozy Earth Long Sleeve Bamboo Pajamas in Stretch Knit

Cozy Earth

One Oprah Winfrey is a huge fan of this brand, repeatedly including them on her annual favorite things list, these particular PJs included. Ridiculously soft bamboo-derived viscose is paired with just a touch of spandex to give these the perfect amount of stretch. Nice and breathable, they also help keep you cool at night. And we appreciate that they come in sizes ranging from XS to XXXL, in both regular and tall lengths.

Bathing Culture Cosmic Rainbow Towel

Bathing Culture

There are bath towels, and then there are bath towelsand this one certainly falls into the latter camp. Made with super-absorbent Turkish cotton, each one is hand-loomed and features a unique rainbow pattern that makes for the perfect upgrade to any basic shower or bathing routine.

Jenni Kayne Alpaca Cocoon Crewneck

Jenni Kayne

This truly may be the last sweater shell ever want to own. A blend of baby alpaca and merino wool makes it perfectly warm and cozy, though still lightweight enough that it doesnt have to be reserved solely for frigid temps. The classic, crewneck cut, and oversized fit mean it works equally well for lounging at home or dressing up, and it comes in a nice (though not overwhelming) palette of five neutral hues to choose from.

FORVR Mood Leaf Me Be Candle

Sephora

Mega-influencer Jackie Aina has created no shortage of delightful candles and home scent options. There is something for every fragrance preference, but were partial to this one. Crisp and woody, it blends herbaceous notes of wild sage and fresh citrus for a result that we find universally appealing. And, like all of the brands candles, it has an impressive 65-hour burn time and is made from a paraffin-free soycoconut wax.

PeachSkinSheets Night Sweats Sheets

PeachSkinSheets

New bedding is one of those gifts that initially might seem a little boring, but trust us, its always appreciated and something that you can pretty much guarantee your giftee will get good use out of. These are unique because theyre temperature-controlled, made of a microfiber that whisks away moisture rather than absorbing it (and is also hypoallergenic and antimicrobial). Still, theyre totally soft and comfy, not to mention come in a rainbow array of 24 different colors.

Esker Bath Board

Saks

Soaks and salts are great, but nothing upgrades a bath quite like a bath board and this one has everything you need.

Plus, there's plenty of shelf space to keep a glass of wine or your favorite body scrub.

POW Wonder Matcha

POW

Not only is this delicious, high-end matcha in its own right (a ceremonial- grade variety straight from Japan), it goes above and beyond the call of duty with several added ingredients. Namely, adaptogenic ashwagandha to help decrease stress and anxiety, and lions mane mushroom to increase cognition and focus. In other words, its the perfect thing to sip on before a busy day. It comes in two sizes, sweetened and unsweetened variants, and can even be purchased via a convenient subscription model so you never have to worry about running out.

Well & Wonder Body Balm

Well & Wonder

Thanks to ingredients such as arnica and shea butter, this rich body balm quickly soothes dry skin and relieves achy muscles. But the benefits dont stop there.

These vintage-inspired sweats are super soft, with a tapered ankle and drawstring waist to ensure a fashionable fit. Theyre pretty much guaranteed to become your new WFH uniform.

Gilded Body Pink Marble Body Brush

Gilded Body

Unlike any dry brush youve ever seen, this is the perfect example of a basic made extra special and gift-worthy. The base is made of handcrafted pink marble, truly more akin to a piece of art than a shower staple. The vegan bristles are made of agave-derived sisal and offer the perfect amount of exfoliation without being too harsh or scratchy.

AAKS Bika Raffia Crossbody Bag

Nordstrom

All of the bags from this brand are sustainable and handcrafted in Ghana, making each one feel completely unique in special. We like this one for its unique trapezoidal shape, combo of textures (a raffia body and leather straps), and bright yet wearable colors.

SelfMade Self Disclosure Intimacy Serum

SelfMade

Weve seen our fair share of beauty brands in our day, but none quite like SelfMade, a beauty-wellness hybrid that combines personal care products with mental health concepts. For example, this intimacy serum not only nourishes the skin, but its also made with ingredients that reduce stress and act as an aphrodisiac, promoting intimacy with othersand yourself. Talk about a brilliant concept.

Stoney Clover Classic Jewelry Roll

Stoney Clover

Designated spots for rings, earrings, necklaces, and more, this is a top pick for any frequent flyer and/or organization fanatic. The compact and slim shape takes up almost no room (either in a crowded suitcase or vanity drawer), and it comes in 15 fun colors. Plus, it can be customized, always a plus when it comes to gifting.

Kimberly New York Discovery Set

Kimberly New York

Fragrance is admittedly tough to giftyou have to really know someones scent preferences before choosing a bottle.

This particular one comes with six vials (all of which happen to be very travel- friendly), of each of these BIPOC-owned brands' classic scents.

Ring Concierge Best Friends Heart Bracelets

Ring Concierge

Were big fans of giving gifts that you can enjoy, too (who isnt?) and this definitely fits the bill. A totally grown-up, upgraded version of your BFF bracelets from elementary school, pick up this pair of bracelets. Give one to your best friend and keep one for yourself. Youll both love the fact that they're made from 14-karat goldchoose from either yellow or whiteand look adorable on their own or stacked with other bracelets.

Lunya Washable Silk Tee Set

Lunya

Sure, this *technically* may fall under the pajama category, but we find the silk top and shorts so chic that you can easily wear them out of the house, either together or as separates. And if you are going to wear them to bed, youll appreciate that theyre made of thermoregulating silk to keep you cool and can be tossed right in the washing machine.

Avaline Ros Cans

Avaline

Founders Cameron Diaz and Katherine Powers set out to revolutionize the wine industry when they created Avaline, focusing on ingredient transparency. All of their varietals are delicious, but the ros (made with organic grapes) is a real crowd-pleaser. It now comes in these cutie cans, perfect for when youre on the go or just want one glass worth without having to open a whole bottle.
