The best stocking stuffers for beauty lovers

Make-up minis for some extra TLC.

Dec 23, 2023 | by Bani Sachar

Nothing sparks joy quite like a Christmas gift, except maybe the minis that come with it! Waking up to a tree laden with gifts makes us all feel like we’re eight years old again, and that childlike euphoria skyrockets when you look over to see your Christmas stockings stuffed with several little presents.

When it comes to luxe beauty finds, it’s best not to judge by size—these tiny make-up, skincare, and haircare goodies are bound to bring as much joy as the bigger present sitting underneath the tree. While you might have checked off some of the more major items on your holiday shopping list, it’s never too late to pick up some extra stocking stuffers for your nearest and dearest.

As a self-proclaimed skincare fiend, I can never resist throwing in an added beauty bonus to all my gifts. I love big, over-the-top gifts as much as the next girl, but stocking stuffers are a great way to begin your Christmas morning gifting session. I mean, what’s not to love? They’re compact, cute, and (hopefully) plentiful in number! More often than not, these end up being the most enduring presents and can be used all year round—making it hard to resist their bite-sized allure.

The best beauty finds are aplenty, so we’ve rounded up some of our favourites below to match every mood.
