This pine-scented candle brings that fresh Christmas tree smell to your home — minus the mess from all the pine needles. The soy-blend wax is fragranced with a blend of balsam pine accord, Siberian pine needle, and Norwegian spruce, as well as holiday-themed notes like tonka bean panna cotta and après ski winter cashmere. Each candle comes packaged in a festive box that’s ready to gift — all you need to do is add a bow.

For a more customizable gift, there’s this mini bracelet from Monica Vinader, a London-based jewelry brand that’s been spotted on everyone from the Princess of Wales to Katie Holmes. The chain bracelet can be personalized with up to three different engravings (on the outside of the bar, the inside of the bar, or a smaller engraving on the toggle), and allows you to choose from a variety of fonts for a printed engraving or a selection of motifs that range from a heart to zodiac symbols. The bracelet featured here layers 18-karat gold over sterling silver, but it’s also available in a classic sterling silver option.

This kit comes with three best-selling masks from Peter Thomas Roth to address every skin concern the winter weather could throw your way. For more moisture, there’s the Water Drench Hydrating Gel Mask that’s formulated with a 20% complex of hyaluronic acid, while the shimmering 24K Gold Mask pairs colloidal gold and 24-karat gold with caffeine to leave skin with a radiant glow after just 10 minutes. And when you need something a bit more powerful, the Pumpkin Enzyme Mask targets dullness and congestion with exfoliating alpha hydroxy acids and pumpkin purée.

More statement-making than a stud but every bit as versatile, these linked hoop earrings offer a modern take on traditional hoops. The staggered sizing and asymmetrical design create a shape-shifting effect, and the larger hoop is embellished with cubic zirconia crystals for added sparkle. Your gift will also help to give back, as the brand pledges to plant one tree for each order in keeping with its sustainability efforts, which include a B Corp certification and being 100% carbon neutral.

Effective skin care doesn’t have to come with a hefty price tag, and this drugstore serum from No 7 Beauty proves it. Formulated to immediately leave skin feeling smoother and shown to visibly plump up skin with continued use, the serum combines multiple dermatologist-loved actives into the brand’s Matrixyl 3000+™ complex. A blend of peptides, hyaluronic acid, retinol, vitamin C, and vitamin E gives the complex a host of benefits, primarily, the ability to boost collagen production and help the skin retain elasticity. It’s also a cult-classic product with a bit of an insider following, and Bustle beauty editor Adeline Duff raves about its ability to turn skin into a “super smooth canvas, perfectly prepped for makeup application.”

This customizable necklace can be worn on its own or layered with a mix of delicate chains for an effortless approach to accessorizing. The adjustable necklace features a pendant at the center that’s decorated with your birthstone of choice, but it can be further personalized with the addition of a single initial or small motif on the back. Choose between 12 different stones in an 18-karat gold or sterling silver finish.

For the skin care enthusiast, Saya’s Sculpt Duo comes with everything you need for a full gua sha facial massage. The stainless steel gua sha tool provides an additional cooling effect as it promotes lymphatic drainage and a more sculpted appearance (when following the recommended upward and outward motions). Then, there’s the Renew Serum, which can be used just before your facial massage or on its own to stimulate collagen production, fade unwanted hyperpigmentation, and nourish dry skin with its blend of bakuchiol, Kakadu plum, grapeseed oil, argan oil, and raspberry seed oil.

For less than $100, this plaid shawl adds an elevated finish to your jeans and button-up uniform. Made from a soft, cozy fabric and trimmed with fringe, you can also trade in your blanket for this cozy shawl while you’re on a flight or lounging around the house.

Gifting skin care can get tricky when you’re not totally sure what skin type or concern you’re shopping for, but not so with this set of trial-size minis from Peach & Lily. In addition to being cruelty-free and vegan, the cleanser, essence, serum, and face cream included in the set are fragrance-free and nonirritating, making them suitable for all skin types. Among the ingredients for each product, you’ll find moisturizing favorites like hyaluronic acid and panthenol, but you’ll also notice a slew of soothing ingredients like niacinamide, chamomile flower extract, and matcha to quell redness and inflammation.

This necklace is a thoughtful choice for anyone with kids, as it allows you to personalize the chain with multiple names. The cursive font complements the dainty chain, which uses an adjustable lobster clasp. Featured here in 18-karat gold, the necklace is also available in sterling silver and rose gold plating.

Quinoa oil is the secret ingredient behind this moisturizing duo, but it still smells sweet, thanks to a combination of plum, peach, bergamot, raspberry, and almond. Rich in omega fatty acids, quinoa oil works to strengthen the skin barrier while improving moisture levels and elasticity. Both the lotion and the oil in the set also contain vitamin C-rich plum extract, and can be used separately or combined (just be sure to apply the lotion first and then smooth on the oil to seal the moisture in).

This lace set is more appropriate for a tropical vacation than a winter wonderland, but for your most fashion-forward friend, it’s a must-have. The scalloped trim set includes a cropped tank and a high-waist skirt that skims the ankles — both featuring a semi-sheer, lacy fabric that presents a more wearable way to get in on the red carpet “naked dress” trend that’s been seen on everyone from Dua Lipa to Dakota Johnson.

For a face cream that’s moisturizing enough to get you through the coldest winter days, there’s this golden formula from an eco-friendly brand that’s previously earned a Bustle Beauty Award. The cruelty-free and vegan cream can be applied morning or night, and helps to restore skin with vitamin- and omega-rich ingredients like aloe vera, meadowfoam seed oil, sea buckthorn extract, and black currant seed oil. At the same time, ingredients like calendula flower extract and rose flower oil work to soothe skin and reduce redness.

These climber-style earrings create the illusion of multiple piercings, as the elongated stud takes up more earlobe real estate. The gold and rhodium-plated earrings were designed to be longer-lasting, and they’re decorated with cubic zirconia crystals in various sizes for an eye-catching sparkle.
