With each year that I get older, it feels like the list of people I have to buy holiday gifts for gets longer and longer. As much as I love the process of picking out personalized presents and giving them to the people I care about, the cost of checking off everyone on my list adds up fast. That’s why I’m always keeping an eye out this time of year for gifts that are as affordable as they are exciting to unwrap. And, when in doubt, you can’t go wrong with Amazon’s beauty department. 

I scoured the site and found 15 beauty gifts that all come in at or below $25. From valuable gift sets to viral and best-selling staple products, keep scrolling for my picks from Laneige, Sol de Janeiro, CosRx, La Roche-Posay, OPI, and more.

Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask Midnight Minis Gift Set

You don’t have to break your budget to gift products from buzzy, TikTok-loved brands this year—there are plenty of $25 and under offerings on Amazon. Kicking off my picks, the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask Midnight Minis Gift Set contains five pocket-sized pots of the iconic nourishing lip balm in varying shades and scents. 

I’m also eyeing a few other viral lippies, including a festive Lancôme Juicy Tubes Lip Gloss Trio that oozes early-aughts nostalgia and the universally flattering Clinique Black Honey Almost Lipstick. If you’re shopping for someone who doesn’t play about body care, check out the fan-favorite fragrance mist from Sol de Janeiro and this Mario Badescu essentials kit.

Or, consider adding this deeply moisturizing La Roche-Posay body cream with 24,000-plus five-star shopper ratings to your cart. In terms of gift sets, you can’t go wrong with this 12-pack of brightening eye masks or this collection of Essence’s tried-and-true mascaras. The latter features the classic formula, a waterproof mascara, a curling and volumizing formula, and a primer—all wrapped up in adorable holiday packaging.
