Discover their top picks that might just inspire your own gift-giving.

Jewelry as a Timeless Gift Choice

Noura Sakkijha, the creative force behind Mejuri, loves gifting earrings, particularly hoops.

"Hoops are ideal because they're one-size-fits-all," she explains. "Everyone enjoys earrings, making them a foolproof present."

Everyday Joy

For Michelle Peluso of Revlon, gifts that bring daily delight like skincare or fragrance sets are ideal.

"This season, I'm excited about beauty collections that feel luxurious yet personal," Peluso shares. "These gifts allow for the discovery of a special scent or the creation of a soothing skincare routine."

She's a fan of Juicy Couture's trio of Just Moi Eau de Parfum, which is particularly appealing to younger women who appreciate sweet, feminine fragrances.

Aromatic Ambiance

Known for her expertise in eyebrows, Anastasia Soare of Anastasia Beverly Hills prefers gifting aromatic experiences.

Candles, specifically from Diptyque, are her go-to instead of makeup products.

Seasonal Sentiments

Tarang Amin of ELF Beauty likes his gifts to resonate with the season.

"In warmer months, I opt for special treats like Indian Alphonso mangoes. They are tasty and an unexpected surprise. During the holidays, I choose alabaster candleholders for a touch of joy and warmth," he mentioned in an interview.

The Gift of Moments

Kecia Steelman, leading Ulta Beauty, values gifting experiences that combat the hectic holiday pace.

"Amidst the seasonal rush, I find the most heartfelt gift is time," she expresses. "This can mean offering an experience, a salon service, or a self-care kit that encourages others to invest time in themselves. It can also mean simply spending quality moments with loved ones."
