My boyfriend, mum and best friend all agree that I’m the hardest person to shop for because, being a beauty journo, there’s a very short list of beauty gifts I’ll accept with a smile. No, that doesn’t make me a diva, but rather a girl who knows what skincare, makeup, perfume and haircare that works for her.

But it’s not just me who’s hard work. It’s well known that, as we welcome in the festive season, the beauty space becomes seriously overcrowded with gifting options, making the process of choosing that much harder. From skincare gift sets and makeup kits to the best beauty advent calendars, it seems as though every retailer and brand pulls out all the stops for Christmas.

To save you the trouble of scouring the web to find the best gift to treat a fellow beauty obsessive (or yourself), I’ve pulled together a definitive round-up to please every taste, budget and preference. Whether you’re shopping for a skincare obsessive, a makeup stan, a fragrance connoisseur, or all of the above, consider this edit as your one-stop shop for all things beauty.

Cue luxury gifts from brands like Augustinus Bader, haircare saviours from Color Wow and our Korean beauty favourites for those craving glass skin. Struggling for Secret Santa? Think Laneige lip balms, mini home fragrances, and a Sol De Janiero shower gel that had our editors swooning at first sniff.

Ahead, the best beauty gifts, approved by GLAMOUR’s shopping editors:
