At first glance, it is a great gift for all family members. However, you may well find that choosing a gift set can be a bit of a tricky business. To make sure you don't make a faux pas under the Christmas tree, check out our tips for the best beauty gift sets and advice on how to choose!
The best skincare gift sets are those selected according to skin type. Before you make a purchase, take a peek in the recipient's bathroom, and try to find out whether they have sensitive, dry, or possibly problematic skin based on the products there. That's the only way your gift will work. Giving a skincare set for acne or wrinkles to someone who doesn't struggle with such problems definitely won't boost the cheerful Christmas atmosphere.
It will be a little simpler with body care beauty gift sets. There, skin is usually not so choosy, and unless it's a gift for an allergy sufferer, you almost can't go wrong. Sets containing body lotions and exfoliators are a safe bet. When it comes to shower products or bath products, find out which type of the gift the recipient prefers.

If you're looking for the best beauty gift set for an enthusiastic beginner makeup artist, don’t worry. Since variety is always welcome on her dressing table or in her bathroom, you don't have to worry whether a particular shade of lipstick or eyeshadow will be the right one. But it certainly doesn't hurt to give some thought to the makeup style of the recipient. If you usually don't even notice if she's wearing makeup or not, reach for a beauty set in nude shades. If she likes bold makeup, don't be afraid to have a bit of fun!
Looking for the perfect gift set for hair is a little more difficult. Again, you will have to make some effort to find out which hair type the recipient has and what problems they have with their locks. But if you put in the work and give a gift that helps repair damaged hair, brightens a yellowed blonde shade or adds volume, you will be a hero!
Are you still a little confused? Here are some tips to guide you to the best set:
● Some people like to try new things, and some don't even want to change their shower gel. You can decide whether the recipient is more of an explorer or sticks to classics.
● By giving a gift, you want to show that you know your loved one. Don't forget to consider their favourite fragrance and cosmetic ingredients, but also allergies or the fact that they are vegan.
● They say that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but we don't think that applies so much to beauty gift sets. Some of them immediately look like they are just right for every party girl, athlete or even for an evening relaxing in the bath. So match them with the personality of the recipient!
● Are you worried that your gift won't fit their tastes and needs anyway? Put a set of miniatures under the Christmas tree. Their size is just right for finding out whether they suit you, and if they don't, it doesn't feel as bad as in the case of full-size products.
