I'm a Beauty Editor, and These Are My Top Holiday Gift Ideas

The Hair Edit Jellyfish Marble Claw Clip ($17)

If you need a stocking stuffer or Secret Santa gift that won't break the bank but will still impress, The Hair Edit Jellyfish Marble Claw Clip fits the bill. Claw clips are super trendy right now, and the pink marble pattern makes this one stand out. It keeps hair pulled back and out of your face in a far chicer way than a regular old ponytail holder ever could.

Nécessaire The Body Wash Discovery Collection ($45)

If you have someone on your list who is hard to shop for, allow me to turn you on to the Nécessaire The Body Wash Discovery Collection. You simply can't go wrong with this aromatic crowd-pleaser. It contains four of the brand's best-selling body cleansers in the eucalyptus, hinoki, santal, and olibanum fragrances. Not only does it allow you to sample each of the signature scents, but at 3.4 ounces each, the bottles are also travel-friendly.

Oak Essentials Mini Routine Set ($68)

Oak Essentials, the sister brand of Jenni Kayne, has amazing skin-care formulas that bring the minimalist, clean vibe of the fashion brand to your medicine cabinet. The Mini Routine Set contains five best-selling products: the Moisture Rich Balm, Ritual Oil, Cleansing Balm, Balancing Mist, and Restorative Mask. The mini sizes make the gift set perfect for holiday travel or sampling the brand's range to find your favorites.

HomeCourt Balsam Fireplace Aircare Duo ($98)

My obsession with anything balsam-scented runs so deep. From around November until the end of January, I want my entire apartment to be enveloped in that crisp, woodsy smell. The HomeCourt Balsam Fireplace Aircare Duo makes that dream a reality. The set contains the brand's sleek and sophisticated candle and the matching room spray — both of which transport me to a Christmas tree farm.

Eberjey Gisele Printed Long PJ Set ($158)

A few years ago, I decided to swap all of the mismatched T-shirts and shorts that I slept in for bonafide pajama sets, and it's one of the best decisions I've made. It's the easiest way to make your everyday life feel more romantic, and it instantly elevates your nighttime skin-care routine. Pajama sets look so cute and they're far more comfortable than an old T-shirt. Eberjey makes my favorite sets, and they make great gifts for others, too.

Current Body LED Light Therapy Face Mask: Series 2 ($469)

Current Body is known for its LED masks — the original is already an editor-favorite, but the Series 2 Mask has some neat updates and innovations putting it ahead of its competitors. Mainly, it upgraded the light coverage with 236 LED bulbs that reach three clinically-recognized wavelengths, including new deep near-infrared. The shape of the mask itself has also been tweaked to better fit the face and provide full lip, chin, and nose coverage.

July Juliette Soft Work Tote ($245)

Another item on my own wish list this holiday? The Juliette Soft Work Tote from July. I've been on the hunt for a new work bag for months, and I finally found one that checks all of my boxes. This chic, tote-style bag has everything: a water bottle holder, padded laptop sleeve, luggage pass-through strap, zipper-closure, long shoulder straps, and a sturdy bottom so it stays upright. I'm eyeing the newest colorway, chocolate brown, to add to my wardrobe. It's a great bag for anyone who commutes to work and needs to carry a lot of things with them (me).

HigherDose Infrared Sauna Blanket ($699)

If you're on the hunt for a show-stopping, splurge-worthy item, may I introduce you to the HigherDose Infrared Sauna Blanket? This device allows you to get the amazing health benefits of an infrared sauna (such as muscle recovery and detoxification) right at home. I've become an avid infrared sauna-goer at my gym over the last year, but the new location I'm moving to doesn't have one, so this blanket is at the top of my wish list this holiday season.
