beautyheaven’s Official 2022 Christmas Gift Guide

If you’re anything like us, you’ve been compiling a Christmas beauty wishlist in for phone since the 26th of December last year. Or, perhaps you’ve just been taking mental screenshots of everything you need, want and can’t live without (we’re looking at you, jumbo Diptyque candles).

So, now that we’ve got numero uno sorted for Christmas, it’s time to shift our focus to the other special people on our gift-giving list for 2022. But where does one even begin? By assessing the clues, of course.

Here’s how it works: has your mum been complaining that her hair has been looking a little lacklustre? We’ve got the perfect gift to add some volume and shine to her mane. Hint: It’s a keratin-infused heat styling tool. What about your partner? Has he taken a recent interest in what’s sitting on your skin care shelf? Perhaps it’s time he started his own morning routine.

Whether it’s family, your bestie or a colleague at work, Christmas requires us to wear several different hats as we take into account everyone’s changing tastes, needs and of course, our own budget.

From bigger ticket items for your loved ones to crowd-pleasing Kris Kringle pressies, here are our top picks for the best Christmas beauty gifts of 2022.

Christmas Gift Ideas For Him

Clinique Great Skin For Him

Whether it’s for your dad, son, partner or brother, the Clinique Great Skin For Him set makes the perfect all-rounder entry point into skin care. Unclog pores, boost hydration and keep his complexion healthy with this 4-step routine; it’ll even guarantee that he’ll stop using your expensive cleanser.

$98 at Clinique

Nécessaire The Body Exfoliator Eucalyptus

Know any limbs that haven’t been exfoliated in, well, ever? Yeah, a few people spring to mind for us too. Formulated to be gentle enough on sensitive skin, this eucalyptus-infused exfoliator will buff away built-up dead skin cells, unveiling soft, smooth skin. Plus, it has even been enriched with congestion-busting heroes like salicylic acid to help tackle keratosis pilaris (otherwise known as bumps on the backs of our arms).

$45 at MECCA

Tooletries The Harvey & Oliver Set

No matter how simple or extensive his beauty routine may be, all men (and women for that matter) have unsuccessfully tried to balance their razor on their teensy shower shelf at some point. In fact, a lack of in-shower storage has become a phenomenon we’ve just learnt to live with. Until now. We suggest stocking up on these; we predict they’ll fly off the shelves (just like your toothbrush used to).

Whether it’s relaxed curls or a soft wave you think they’re craving, treat your friend, sister or even yourself to Remington’s black iridescent curling wand.

Here’s a question for you. What is the value of a gift that will deliver salon-quality bounce and shine to hair? Priceless, right? No, actually it’s $99.95 and it comes with free different styling attachments (one of which has even been infused with keratin).
