Beauty Gift Sets So Pretty You Don't Need to Wrap 'Em

Imagine how much easier the holidays would be if you didn't have to spend days wrapping presents. Give these gift sets, and you can skip the paper and ribbon entirely

Tree accessories If you're looking for a beauty gift that's smaller -- or less pricey -- but just as adorable as the other beauty kits on our list, these "ornaments" are just the thing. Each pretty box comes with a mini Gardeners Hand Therapy and wash. I'm thinking of buying them in bulk for the mail carrier, dry cleaner, manicurist, etc.

Crabtree & Evelyn Gardeners Hand Preservation Kit, $10, crabtree-evelyn.com

great ideas

Sephora had some very awesome sets this winter season. Bite Beauty has a couple of great sets that didn't not require any wrapping. The article was too much fun to look at. It made me want to shop. I really geeked out on the Fresh set.

I am a huge fan of packaging!! I love fresh Sugar the glosses slide on soo smooth and they are extremely hydrating, and not heavy!! I love Philosophy but I'm not into "sweet" smells, I would love that gift set if it was in Amazing Grace or Pure, I prefer clean smells. I Love the Too Faced Kit and the MAC Gloss Kit! I especially Love the Tarte Kit! The packaging is beautiful! I love Tarte makeup!! I also like the full fragrance house packing, very unique! And the Lorac Kit! They are all so amazing and pretty! I really like candles, but I hate it when I get them as gifts.

Beautiful slides of these gorgeous products! i would love them all! Happy Holidays!

With just the packaging alone, I would LOVE all of them! My favorite is the MAC and the Too Faced gift set. I'm afraid if I buy them, I'd end up opening them and using it myself. I deserve it!

I want all of them!

There are some great gift ideas in this article!

I was very tempted to buy myself the MAC, Tarte, and Too Faced sets :P They're a fabulous value and super cute.

Super cute!

These are some great sets! I bought the MAC guilty passions lip gloss set (in a different color range) and it is lovely and a great value. The Josie Maran argan and L'Occitane almond sets look wonderful too. I love the L'Occitane almond range so a set is a great idea.

I nearly purchased the Mac lipgloss set but the sales girl was so disinterested in helping me. I'll have to go back and get it.

i am loving this list! reasonably priced and i want all of them! i just have to think of which friend might like which... =)

Those MAC gift-sets are ultra adorable! Aveda Holiday sets are always nice.

by MizzPink Monday, December 3, 2012 at 11:39AM Report as inappropriate

I want pretty much all of these as gifts to myself.

by thequietnoise Saturday, December 1, 2012 at 02:59PM Report as inappropriate

I wish that tarte set was still available! What a good deal.

by cheerio9551 Friday, November 30, 2012 at 02:59PM Report as inappropriate

A bit above my range these days, and I miss the buy something get something.

by evet Wednesday, November 28, 2012 at 12:51AM Report as inappropriate

I wouldn't mind getting any of these--I never get presents anyways. :(

by volta Tuesday, November 27, 2012 at 10:49PM Report as inappropriate

I want the Lorac eye candy!!!!

by yestfl Tuesday, November 27, 2012 at 06:04PM Report as inappropriate

The Fresh Sugar Soiree Mini Lip Collection looks great, but it's far too expensive.

by MandyBoo Tuesday, November 27, 2012 at 01:19PM Report as inappropriate

this actually gave me an idea of what to buy - for myself ;)

by talecon Monday, November 26, 2012 at 11:20PM Report as inappropriate

I want some of these for me!

by schien Monday, November 26, 2012 at 12:15PM Report as inappropriate

The Sugar Balms are so cute, got to get them for my daughter!

by EricaF123 Monday, November 26, 2012 at 10:20AM Report as inappropriate

I would be so excited to get any of these!

by Chris213 Saturday, November 24, 2012 at 07:38AM Report as inappropriate

Ooh, I love all of these and they would definitely make great gifts for the holidays! I especially love the lip balm sets! I am amazed that these gift sets are a better deal than their full sized counterpart!

by josie_kurkowski Friday, November 23, 2012 at 02:04PM Report as inappropriate

They all look so cute and adorable.

by nicky22 Wednesday, November 21, 2012 at 09:53AM Report as inappropriate

There are a few girls in my family who would love these. That TooFaced eye kit looks like a pretty good deal. Nice suggestions

by Helmi Tuesday, November 20, 2012 at 12:26PM Report as inappropriate

Oh I want ALL OF THEM!! For me!! Ha ha! Actually do plan to buy the Sugar lip balm set and break it up as stocking stuffers for people on my list :)

by shimmergurl Tuesday, November 20, 2012 at 11:51AM Report as inappropriate

very nice gift sets! They're pretty pricey though...and the ones under say $25.00, while nice, aren't my idea of a gift (blotting papers?! LOL). As nice as they are, I wouldn't spend that much on myself let alone someone else. I know its the holidays but really, the average person is still being nailed by the recession.

by jenn8779 Tuesday, November 20, 2012 at 11:18AM Report as inappropriate

I want every single one of these gift sets!!! And if I could I'd give them as well!

by Lamexicana1 Monday, November 19, 2012 at 08:13PM Report as inappropriate

Wish someone gets one of these for Christmas.
