While there are many ways to spread holiday cheer, I personally love giving beauty and fashion gifts. There’s something special about gifting your loved ones something that will make them feel better in their own skin—whether that’s a designer dress or a two-step skincare routine. That’s why I created a beauty and fashion gift guide, so you can do the same.

But this list isn’t just for women. Anyone can rock the Bajio unisex sunglasses, and I’ll definitely be getting some of the Marlowe beard oil for my husband this holiday season. With that in mind, this is a well-rounded list that has something for everyone on your list this holiday season.
