As a huge fan of all things beauty related, you know that I'm going to have scoped out the beauty gift set selection this year. And that's exactly what I did to share my top picks today; aka. the best beauty gift sets to buy this Christmas. So whether you're buying for someone who loves makeup, skincare, fragrance, haircare or bathing products, I've got you covered. I've also tried to include gift sets at a range of different prices. And for some brands, where I couldn't whittle it down to just one gift set to include, you'll see a few recommendations.
This time of year is also a great time to stock up on some of your beauty favourites. More often than not, you'll be able to get your favourite moisturiser, for example, for the same price or cheaper and with the added bonus of extra products and bonuses like makeup bags, eye masks and more.

So without further adieu, here are some of the best beauty gift sets to buy this Christmas;
Charlotte Tilbury Charlotte's 4 Magic Steps To Hydrated, Glowing Skin (£120) - Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Brightening Flawless Finish Set (£45) - Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk On The Go Kit (£42)
First up we have one of my favourite beauty brands to buy in the run up to Christmas. And that is Charlotte Tilbury. Whether you've always wanted to try some of her skincare or have had your eye on her makeup products, I simply couldn't pick just one to feature today. And these are only a few of the great sets that she has released this year.
If you want to try out a CT skincare routine, the Charlotte's 4 Magic Steps To Hydrated, Glowing Skin comes with all of her top products to give you that glow. I always love to pick up the Pillow Talk kits and this one isn't just all lip products either. You also get a full size Eyes to Mesmerise and a travel size Eyeliner, plus travel sizes of the Lipstick and Lip Cheat liner, all in the Pillow Talk shade. And finally, I could not resist the Airbrush Brightening Flawless Finish Set which contains the two products that will leave your skin and makeup looking, as the set says, airbrushed and flawless looking.
Bobbi Brown Best Of Bobbi Brown Ultimate Gift Set (£90) - Bobbi Brown EXTRA Indulgence Skincare Set (£88)
Bobbi Brown is another of my favourites when it comes to holiday gift sets. And these two sets prove exactly that. Their Best Of Bobbi Brown Ultimate Gift Set contains basically all of their bestsellers and some of my personal favourite products. I am already far too excited to now own a mini of the Extra Lip Tint, as well as a travel size of the Full Coverage Face Brush. Basically, my travel beauty bag just got a serious upgrade. Plus, there are full sizes of the Smokey Eye Mascara and two gorgeous Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick shades. I just can't get over how great a set this is.
I'm also a huge fan of the Bobbi Brown EXTRA skincare range so I was over the moon to see this set on the website this year. Being able to buy two full sizes, with the added bonus of a gorgeous makeup bag, makes gifting or stocking up on your favourite products such a breeze. So if you or the person that you're buying for has really parched or dehydrated skin, let me introduce you to the EXTRA Repair Eye Cream and EXTRA Repair Moisture Cream. Both are so incredibly nourishing.
Aesop Congruous Gift Kit (£89)
If someone you know has just moved into a new home or has given their bathroom, kitchen or bedroom a revamp, this beautiful gift kit from Aesop will go down a treat. You get four brilliant full sizes of some of Aesop's most iconic products and they all look fantastic when out on display. I especially love the eco-conscious paper pulp case that this comes in, especially when you think about the amount of packaging and wrapping waste we all get through each Christmas.
Philip Kingsley Body Building Jewels (£49.50)
Worth £83, this is the set to buy for anyone who struggles with fine or flat hair. I know my Mum in particular would really appreciate all of the products in this. It also includes the holy-grail Elasticizer Deep-Conditioning Treatment that so many love and swear by. Given the value, this is definitely a haircare gift set to seek out this Christmas.
TOCCA Wonders Collection (£49)
Fragrance can often be tricky to gift, unless you know for certain what perfume or kind of scents the person that you're buying for likes. Which is why this gift set from TOCCA with six of their iconic and incredibly luxurious perfumes is perfect. I could see this gift set working for a whole range of different women, from best friends to mums, grans and everyone in between. I also can't get enough of how beautiful the packaging is.
Biossance Love, Joy and Bestsellers Set (£45)
Another great set for those with dry or dehydrated skin, this comes with a full size of the iconic Squalane + Omega Repair Cream, which is normally £45 on its own. So for the exact same price you get two nice trial/travel sizes of their fantastic Rose Oil and Resurfacing Serum, both of which I adore. And on top of that, you also get a lovely sleep mask too. See, that's when it definitely makes sense to buy the Christmas gift set, rather than just buying a top up of your moisturiser on its own.
Glow Recipe Hey You, You're Glowing (£44) - Glow Recipe Hey You, You're A Bright Light (£44)
These two sets from Glow Recipe have really hit it out of the park in terms of the products that they've included. So whether you're already a fan of the products or have been dying to try them, grabbing sets like these makes so much sense. For example, I'm a big fan of the Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops but I've had the Pore-Tight Toner on my to-try list for a while. So picking up the Hey You, You're Glowing set was a no brainer.
Then the Hey You, You're A Bright Light set comes with their fantastic Guava Vitamin C Dark Spot Serum and Eye Cream, along with my firm favourite Plum Plump Hyaluronic Cream. I can see both of these gift sets being such a hit with so many different skin types.
Lush Sleepy Bus (£37)
You know how much I love a limited edition Lush release and this gift set has got to be my favourite this year. Of course you'll find all things Snow Fairy and festively themed. But I truly adore the Lush Sleepy scent all year round. And this gift box comes complete with six Sleepy products, all wrapped up in this fun Sleepy bus design gift box. In it, you get a Sleepy bubble bar, a 110g Sleepy shower gel, three bath bombs (Twilight, Shoot For The Stars and Butterbear) and a 50g Sleepy body lotion.
Wishful Glow Trio (£33) - Huda Beauty Empowered Lip Trio (£26)
Wishful/Huda Beauty are another brand that always impress me when it comes to their festive gift sets. And this year is no different. If you're looking for or to gift glowy skin, the Wishful Glow Trio has a value of £51 and includes some of their bestselling skincare products.
While the beautiful Empowered Lip Trio is breathtaking on the inside and out. The three lip shades that they've included are ones that will work well for a whole host of different skin tones and colours. And it's just such a fabulous gift set. I mean, imagine waking up on Christmas morning to be met with this limited edition lip tin.
Slip Moonflower Nights Scrunchie Ornament (£25)
I also love to stock up on all things Slip at Christmastime as they do some great value gift sets in limited edition prints and designs. This scrunchie ornament contains four of their pure silk skinny scrunchies. And these are the only scrunchies or hair ties that I use in my hair, particularly overnight in bed. You won't get any kinks in your hair, like you might with a traditional bobble and they don't tug on my hair when I try to remove them either.
ELEMIS Cleansing Heroes A Love Story Gift Set (£25)
Cleansers are probably the one skincare item that I love to try many different kinds of. And this beautifully curated gift set of cleansers from ELEMIS allows you to do exactly that. It would also be a great set to grab if you're making up stockings, party favours or your own Christmas crackers, as you can break it down into four separate mini gifts.
So those are just some of the best beauty gift sets to buy this Christmas.
Will you be treating yourself or others to a beauty gift set this year? And what do you think of my top picks?
