The holidays are here once again and I totally get it if you haven’t figured out what to get everyone this year. And I have a – dare I say – better idea than spending a fortune at Target. Ready? DIY beauty gift sets with homemade products, curated to fit the recipient just right. Bam.
I found that making bigger batches of these recipes to gift everyone makes the holidays a tiny bit less stressful – and I’ll take any tiny bit at this point! I love mixing and matching to create the perfect themed gift but you can always make the combinations more random. Pack in eco-friendly gift wrap if possible, and you’re ready to go! Scroll down for five thoughtful beauty sets for your loved ones:

1. DIY Lip Care Set
Overnight Lip Mask + Honey Lip Scrub + Homemade Lip Balm + Hydrating Lip Oil
Despite being so exposed to the elements, lips are often a neglected part of our skincare routines. Sure, we all love a good red lip, but to make it really stand out, you need to start with healthy lips. From teens to grandmas, this combination of lip mask, scrub, balm and oil will work for practically everyone.
2. DIY Facial Set
Essential Oil Facial Steamers + Gentle Goat Milk Soap + Shea Butter Face Moisturizer + DIY Hyaluronic Acid Serum
Any skincare addicts on your list? They might like to be pampered with an all-natural facial! Feel free to add a voucher for a cosmetic treatment if you can, but I’m sure the facial steamers, gentle homemade soap, serum and moisturizer will do the trick on their own.
3. DIY Bath Set
Cocoa Butter Bath Melts + Homemade Bubble Bath + Shea Butter Body Scrub + Homemade Body Wash
As long as they have a bathtub at home, they’re gonna love this: holiday bath melts with a festive look and feel, pampering bubble bath, body wash that doesn’t dry the skin, and the best 2-in-1 scrub/ body butter to wrap it up. This is also the kind of beauty gift that works for every age.
4. DIY Massage Set
DIY Massage Candles + DIY Massage Oil + Magnesium Massage Bars + Gua Sha Essential Oil Blend Roll On
We all know that one person who never takes time off, though they obviously need it. If you don’t, then it’s clearly you. Whatever the case, set the tone for a season of relaxation with massage candles, massage oil, magnesium massage bars à la Lush, and an essential oil blend meant for gua sha massage. If you’re not sure they already have a gua sha tool, you might want to include that as well.
5. DIY Eyecare Set
DIY Eyelash Conditioning Serum + Homemade Mascara + Caffeine Eye Cream + Gel Eye Mask
You know how they say eyes are the mirror of the soul? They’re also the mirror of our aging process, which is why they require different care than the rest of the face. Make sure your bestie has everything she needs with a caffeine eye cream, cooling gel eye masks, an eyelash conditioning serum, plus mascara in her favorite shade.
