If sifting through their makeup bag feels like a trip to the candy store, chances are they’ll adore the beauty gifts on this list. From rhode’s skin-loving essentials and a dreamy silk sleep mask by Slip to Shark’s high-tech LED mask, these finds make getting ready—and winding down—feel extra special. Read on for 14 picks worth wrapping up, and consider this permission to buy two. We have a feeling you’ll want in on the unboxing, too.

For the beauty lover whose favourite products travel everywhere with them, a Coach cosmetic case makes keeping them together feel considerably chicer–and who can resist this cardinal red colour?

Beauty sleep, with a little breathing room for their lashes. This soft silk mask has a contoured shape that sits away from the eyelids–dreamy for anyone who takes their bedtime routine seriously.

Their daily dose of rhode, all bundled up. These barrier-nourishing skincare essentials come tucked inside the brand’s bubble bag, ready for bathroom shelves, overnight stays and everything in between.

For the friend who never skips skin prep, this cordless wand brings cooling and warming treatments to their fingertips. The curved tip reaches under-eyes and around the nose for a little extra attention where they want it.

Soft florals, warm vanilla and a bottle worthy of prime vanity space. With rose, honeysuckle and cedarwood in the mix, this romantic scent might just become the one they reach for every morning.

For the beauty lover with a flight booked and very little faith in hotel hair dryers, this travel Dyson earns its suitcase space. Universal voltage automatically adapts to their destination, while intelligent heat control and powerful Air Multiplier technology bring familiar Dyson perks along for the trip. Good luck handing this one over!

The splurge for someone who considers skincare an evening event. Red, blue and deep infrared light treatments target the look of fine lines and blemishes, while built-in under-eye cooling adds a refreshing finishing touch.
