14 of the best skincare gifts for Christmas 2021
On the hunt for the best gifts for skincare lovers? Let us help you out with our top 14 skincare gift sets of 2021 here at H&B.
Is skincare a good Christmas gift?
Although skin care is considered a necessity, it can also make a great Christmas gift.
Especially if you know the recipient wouldn’t usually splash out on things like that for themselves.
We think it’s safe to say that most of us would get excited about a fancy beauty gift set or luxury skincare accessory – why wouldn’t you!?
Is it rude to give skincare as a gift?
We don’t think so – as long as you have put some thought into it and aren’t just giving it ‘just because’.
Even so, it’s probably best to gift skincare to your nearest and dearest only, rather than work colleagues or people you don’t know very well, as some people could take it the wrong way.
There are some obvious exceptions, though, like buying an older lady an ‘anti-ageing’ skincare kit if they’ve not specifically asked for it or gifting blemish friendly skincare to someone who suffers from breakouts.

Without further ado, here are 13 of the best skincare sets and gifts for Christmas 2021:

What our customers think
Bunnyboo69 – Lovely oils in a super set – 5/5 stars
“If you love face oils, which I do, then these are delightful and an excellent size. So great to see that some companies do not need plastic. Nicely presented and would be a super gift. Totally organic, vegan, a pleasure to use and results on the skin are good. The avocado does not smell particularly pleasant when you open the bottle, but that does disappear fairly quickly after use.”

What our customers think
Humboldt – Clean and simple – 5/5 stars
“Great little device to gently exfoliate. Arrived quickly and efficiently.”
Sarjn – Love it!! – 5/5 stars
“Wasn't expecting much from the moisturisers but they're gorgeous. Can't use the day cream because my sunscreen and makeup doesn’t sit on it but I'll save it for night time use. The night cream is glorious. It feels like a massive bargain to have these incl. Would say though that I was sensitive to them both at first -- possibly because they’re scented? The face massager is really relaxing and gorgeous. I'd really recommend this to anyone!”
