In the words of Mariah Carey, it’s tiiiiiiime! Holidays are here, and we’d bet you’re already up to your eyeballs in to-do lists. Between decorating, planning festive get-togethers, and finding the perfect gift for every person on your list–we won’t even mention the wrapping on top of it–it might be the most wonderful time of the year, but it’s also the busiest.
So, take a deep breath, and repeat this mantra: you are a holiday gift-giving superstar!
We’ve put together this guide to make it easy to find gifts that fit every person on your list. Need something special for your bestie? A budget-friendly gift for your office’s Secret Santa? Something for him that he’ll actually use? Stocking stuffers? We’ve got it all.
Self-Care Holiday Kits
Self-care should be simple, that’s why we created these thoughtfully curated gift sets for the holidays.
2 Minute Magic: Skin Smoothing Gua Sha Set
You know that one busy friend who never seems to take a minute for themselves? This kit will convince them to take two. Tied up in a cute holiday bow, 2 Minute Magic contains a 10mL bottle of Jade Moon serum, an authentic rose quartz mushroom gua sha, and a sample sachet of Supermoon Serum.
Jade Moon is a barrier repair serum that soothes and hydrates with lightweight plant oils full of replenishing fatty acids and antioxidants. The small, mushroom gua sha is designed to glide in all the nooks and crannies along the eyes and brow to relieve tension. Plus, rose quartz is a naturally cooling stone, which feels amazing on the skin.
Put it all together? 2 minutes of total self-care bliss. Whoever you give this to will thank you.
This set is also a great deal–our mini serums are usually $42 each, and with this set clocking in at just $39, it’s actually cheaper than buying the mini Jade Moon by itself.
Give the gift of a rejuvenating gua sha routine for $39.
Sculpt & Tone: Hydrating Trio Set *COMING SOON*
Dewy, bouncy, sculpted skin. Who wouldn’t want that for the holidays?
Please note: This kit is coming soon!
This is our gua sha set that focuses on skin hydration, featuring a stainless steel gua sha, a 30mL bottle of our bestselling Supermoon Serum, and a full size bottle of Face Food.
The rounded stainless steel gua sha is cooling and antibacterial, meaning it feels great on the skin and is easy to clean between uses. Supermoon Serum has 6 major benefits in one bottle, making it a multitasking superstar on the skin. Face Food, our facial mist, contains a mineral complex that forms a weightless protective shield against environmental stressors.
The facial mist and serum combined make the gua sha glide smoothly over the skin, allowing whoever receives this gift to hug the contours of their cheeks and jaw for a flawless sculpted look.
Not only is this set tied with a festive bow (yep, you don’t even have to wrap it!) you’re also getting great value for the set–individually purchasing Face Food and Supermoon would cost you $138, but this entire set is just $125.
We’d make a girl math joke that you get the gua sha for free, but it’s actually true! 🫢
Grab the Sculpt + Tone Set for $125.
Cozy Skin Capsule Collection *COMING SOON*
Please note: This collection is coming soon!
Give the gift of a full skincare routine revamp with the Cozy Skin Capsule Collection. Featuring a cleanser, toner, and moisturizer, this collection gets skin through the winter blahs looking hydrated, smooth, and clear.
Face Foam is a fan favourite foaming cleanser with natural BHAs and azelaic acid for a gentle exfoliation. Face Food mineral mist combines white tea and a mineral complex to hydrate, refresh, and protect skin. Berry Rich is our velvety-thick moisturizer that doubles as an eye cream. Berry Rich’s probiotics are perfect for maintaining a healthy skin barrier and microbiome in the winter.
P.S. Each product is suitable for all skin types, so everyone from dry and sensitive to oily and acne prone will be able to enjoy!
Buckle up–this collection is also one of our great money savers. Instead of the $142 total these three would cost together, this collection is yours to gift for just $99.
Dynamic Duos
Some things are just better together. Peanut butter and jelly. Salt and pepper. Your left sock and your right one (if you can find them in the laundry pile). And, of course, the dynamic duos below.
All Over Soap + Lotion Duo
Soap and lotion gift sets are everywhere–and while people do love them, there are a million to choose from. What sets this one apart? This duo is naturally scented, filled with clean, gentle ingredients, and can multitask in a number of different ways.
Our All Over Soap makes a great moisturizing body wash that doesn’t strip your skin’s natural oils. But it also doubles as a hand wash and can even be used as a dish and laundry soap! The blend of geranium, lavender, lemon, sweet orange, grapefruit, rosemary, and eucalyptus creates a delicious blend of scents that uplift, energize, and freshen skin (and dishes, and clothes)!
Our All Over Face + Body Lotion multitasks from head to toe. Jojoba and olive oil combine to provide lightweight moisturization without a greasy residue. Lavender, rosemary, and blood orange create a delectably fresh scent your gift recipient won’t be able to get enough of.
It also makes a fantastic hosting or housewarming gift.
Grab this multi-tasking twist on a classic gift set for $64.
Or, you can gift 2 All Over Soaps for $50.
Serum Mini Duo
If you want to give someone the best of both worlds, this duo of two 10mL serums contains our award winning water-based serum, Supermoon, and our oil-based barrier repair serum Jade Moon.
What makes this gift so fun is that whoever you give it to can mix their own custom blend of the two serums based on what their skin needs. We know many customers who like to use 1 drop of Supermoon and 2 drops of Jade Moon in the winter, and then switch to the opposite in the summer.
Supermoon Serum contains our anti-pollution complex, plus botanical vitamin c, two sun-safe botanical retinol alternatives, and peptides. Jade Moon’s antioxidant-rich oils brighten, tighten, and smooth skin, all while hydrating and repairing the skin barrier.
Wrap up this serum mini duo for $84.
Matcha Mint Hair Care Duo
Know someone who loves soft, shiny hair and doesn’t want to sacrifice their scalp to get it? This duo cares for both scalp and strands, making it a great choice for anyone who wants the best of both worlds. The shampoo has jojoba esters for sheen and oat oil to soothe the scalp, while the smoothie detoxes hair with broccoli seed oil and moisturizes with antioxidant-rich green tea.
This is a great duo for people with short hair, as they don’t have to worry about the age-old advice to not put conditioner on their scalps–Matcha Mint Smoothie is good for you from root to tip!
People also love the smell, a blend of matcha, peppermint, and vanilla:
“I am addicted to this shampoo! Delivers the results I’m looking for and smells amazing!” –Joe S.
“Love the smell and clean ingredients!” –Annemarie L.
Send this luxurious hair care bundle to someone you love for $50.
Bundles For Every Skin Need
If you’re going above and beyond for someone special and giving them a full set of skincare, you want to make sure every product is curated for their skin concerns. While all of our products are formulated to be sensitive skin friendly and suitable for all skin types, we all have our own #skincaregoals. Help someone reach theirs by gifting a bundle.
Triple Cleanse Bundle
This bundle takes the viral double cleanse method and ups the ante. For those unfamiliar, the double cleanse is a method used to deeply but gently clean your skin daily. It involves using an oil/cream cleanser to break down oil-based impurities in the skin, and a foaming cleanser to clean up the rest. Add on a gentle exfoliation tool, and you get the triple cleanse!
This bundle contains Aloe Milk, our black tea and niacinamide cream cleanser, Face Foam, our gently exfoliating foam cleanser with azelaic acid and apple cider vinegar, and our bamboo charcoal sponge.
Give a great gift, tripled, for just $90.
Sensitivity SOS Bundle
This is the go-to gift for those with sensitive skin. Containing Aloe Milk (gentle cleanser), Face Food (facial mist), and Putty (soothing moisturizer), these products all help soothe inflammation, calm redness, and restore the skin barrier after flare-ups.
This is a great start-to-finish routine for anyone in your life that you know has reactive skin.
When you give this bundle, pass along one of our favourite tips: put Face Food in the fridge so it is extra cooling when you spritz it!
Send this SOS to someone with sensitive skin for $129.
Clear Complexion Bundle
This bundle was made for people who want to say goodbye to acne and congestion. Heard someone complain about a breakout recently? Give this bundle to them!
Face Foam is our exfoliating foaming cleanser that gets rid of excess sebum without stripping the skin, Face Food mineral mist nourishes skin without congesting, and Phyto Clear, our gel moisturizer, helps to boost skin cell renewal with bio-retinol from bakuchiol and moth bean extract.
You’re giving the gift of clear, fresh skin. We’d bet that’s on a ton of people’s wishlists.
Gift a gorgeous complexion for $121.
Pore-fection Bundle
Dull skin. Enlarged pores. Visible skin texture. Um, no thanks! This trio was curated to tackle all these skin concerns to leave skin bright, smooth, and clear.
Face Foam balances sebum production, while Supermoon Serum helps to minimize the appearance of pores thanks to protein-rich, plant-based collagen from mahogany bark extract.
Phyto Clear contains a blend of herbs to clarify and tone the skin.
Advent Calendars and Gift Boxes
There is something wonderfully indulgent and decadent about gifting an advent calendar or curated box to someone. It lets them try out a ton of new products from brands they may have never heard of before. It’s exciting, and can feel like multiple gifts in one.
Hudson’s Bay Advent Calendar
This year, the Hudson’s Bay Advent Calendar packs $1,300+ worth of value into 24 days of beauty goodies.
Let us tell you a little secret: a full size bottle of our bestselling Supermoon Serum is behind door number 8.
We’re amongst products from brands like Lancome, Origins, MAC, Estee Lauder, Clinique, Kiehl’s, Lise Watier, Chloe, Valentino, Hermès, Shiseido, and more!
Also, can we appreciate how gorgeous the calendar itself is 😍
Get yours from Hudson’s Bay for $225.
Jilly Beauty Box
Created by Jillian Harris, who you might know as the leading lady from season 5 of The Bachelorette, the Jilly Boxes are a coveted seasonal subscription box. This year, Jillian launched her first ever Beauty Box, which contains a full size Supermoon Serum alongside goodies from other vegan and cruelty-free brands.
Inside the box, you’ll also find an exclusive quilted makeup bag from Ela Handbags, an eyeliner duo from Toy Factory, a foaming cleanser from Caudalie, and an eye cream from Truly.
The box is valued at $267, but you can get it for just $139.
Stocking Stuffers
Who doesn’t love a stocking stuffer? They’re a staple of the gift giving season for a reason. Here’s some small but mighty gifts skincare savants will adore.
Bamboo Charcoal Sponge
We’ve mentioned it countless times on our blog, but we looooove simple exfoliation tools. They elevate a skincare routine and help cleansers really get rid of any dirt, dead skin, and excess oil on the skin.
Enter our favourite exfoliation tool, the bamboo charcoal sponge. Your giftee just needs to dampen it with water and watch it puff up into an ultrasoft sponge that fits right in the palm of their hand.
A big benefit is that this tool is eco-friendly. It’s made of natural materials, and will biodegrade over time. It also doubles as a beauty blender.
Stock(ing) up on a bamboo sponge for $17.
Facial Roller
This gentle facial massaging tool helps to smooth and firm the skin for an awakened, revitalized complexion. This is the perfect gift for anyone you’ve heard utter the words “lymphatic drainage” this year. It’s a tool that’s also known for its ability to help serum absorption, making it a great add-on to any other skincare goodies you plan on gifting.
With the much anticipated Wicked movie coming out in November, your giftee might love that the roller comes in Elphaba green and Glinda pink 😉🪄
And if they’re not a Wicked lover, jade or rose quartz also has a nice right to it.
Add a facial roller to your gift stockpile for $35.
Year-Round Bestsellers
Want to give one of our most popular products? Here’s a brief rundown of our top 5 bestselling products, in no particular order.
Face Glow
Not just a moisturizer, but also an illuminator and a primer! Our customers often love the subtle blurring and glow effect Face Glow has on their skin, and many even ditch foundation entirely and just rock this as their daily go-to.
It’s not just the natural, subtle shimmer of mica that allows Face Glow to work its magic. It also contains spirulina and raspberry seed oil to brighten skin. Add on the hydrating and nourishing benefits of pumpkin seed oil and buckthorn, the protection of non-nano zinc, and the firming benefits of smithsonite, and it’s clear why so many people love this product.
Give someone the gift of glow for $54.
Skin Stuff
This is your favourite moisturizer’s favourite moisturizer. Lightweight, versatile, and nourishing, this moisturizer is perfect for even the most sensitive, reactive skin.
With no fragrance and a light, dewy finish, this (skin) stuff feels like nothing but airy goodness on your skin. Plus, it also doubles as an eye cream.
Botanical ceramide, and rosehip, primrose, blackcurrant, and pomegranate oils offer barrier protection, skin brightening, skin firming, and moisturizing benefits without irritation.
Berry Rich Face + Eye Cream
This velvety-rich, probiotic face + eye cream helps to reinforce skin barrier function while improving hydration and enhancing your skin’s radiance and luminosity.
Perfect for sensitive skin, its gentle formula makes Berry Rich an excellent eye cream too!
Berry Rich nourishes skin and balances the skin’s microbiome with vegan probiotics, hydrates with blue-green algae and blueberry seed oil, and promotes elasticity and suppleness with creamy cocoa butter.
Add Berry Rich to your gift pile for $54.
Supermoon Serum
This ultra-lightweight, multi-functional water serum helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles with a double serving of bio-retinol while moisture loving plant-based hyaluronic acid plumps your thirsty skin.
Peptides and plant-based collagen do double duty encouraging skin longevity and suppleness while Vitamin C rich moringa and semi-precious malachite shield against everyday pollutants.
You might have seen above that Supermoon Serum is in the Hudson's Bay Advent Calendar and the Jilly Beauty Box... that's because people with all skin types love it!
Aloe Milk
This gentle yet effective hydrating cream cleanser for sensitive skin stars niacinamide to balance your skin while minimizing the appearance of pores.
Its smooth texture has cleansing superpowers that help to dislodge excess sebum, break down makeup and remove impurities to reveal a brighter, more balanced complexion without stripping your skin of its natural moisture.
It can also be used as a face mask by leaving it on the skin for 10 minutes before washing off.
Give this hydrating cream cleanser for $39.
