We think we have some stellar gifts on our shelves this holiday season, and since we realize that everyone shops in a slightly different way, we thought we'd share our gift ideas in a couple of different ways.

If you'd like a visual gift guide for specific types of people (sleepless/stressed, impossible to shop for, etc.), check out the "Guides & Gifts" section of our site.

But if you're wondering what our team is going to reach for this year — for others, for themselves, and for holiday party prep — take a look at the guide below.

(PS Want gift wrap? A handwritten card? Just ask — we'll be happy to make the unwrapping experience as special as the gift that's inside.)

The can't-go-wrong gift of the year that's on all of our lists

Relax Infusion: For anyone who might experience any stress in their lives. Bonus points if they have trouble sleeping.

To get you started: Kelly's three go-to makeup items for holiday parties

Manasi7 All Over Shine in Kaito: "Perfect for holiday parties when you want a natural glow but amped up with an icy, dewy, pearlized finish."
Manasi7 Eye Glow in Jardin: "This cream shadow is the most dreamy, gorgeous raisin-y hue you will never forget."
TWELVE Beauty Tint & Glow for lips and cheeks in Mulberry Hue: "Moody vamp meets plum and I’m obsessed."

For holiday parties AND gifts: Emi's picks

Le Prunier Plumbody: "The velvety texture and subtle marzipan scent are both divine. I love body care as a gift because a) we often don't give our body skin as much love as our face, b) it's a great option if you aren't sure if a product will fit into someone's existing skincare routine, and c) it just feels cozy with a wonderful rich cream like this one!"
Teabloom mug and La Ferme Saint-Sylvain Lemon Balm Infusion to alternate with Relax Infusion: "I swear by this to wind down after a stressful day!"
TWELVE Beauty Tint & Glow in Happy Nuance: "Planning to gift myself a fun and versatile lip/cheek shade for holiday parties."

For hosts and girlfriends: Nora's favorites

Fueguia 1833 Candle: "I'd love to give this luxe candle to my friend who is hosting us this Christmas season for a festive dinner. Fueguia is a beautiful company with an impeccable nose for creating the most unique and intoxicating scents, and the vessel it comes in can be used to hold makeup brushes or her favorite pens when it's all used up."
Dara Kennedy Sea Soak: "I'd gift this bath to my dear friend who, when she wakes up in the middle of the night (hello, perimenopause) loves to take a hot bath. This detoxifying bath is the gift that keeps on giving. As you soak, you can massage the algae into your scalp and skin. You'll leave feeling amazing, like you ran a marathon, in the best way. The perfect feeling to let you sneak right back into bed."
Macrene Actives Chria Tinted Lip Filler: "I'd give this to my friend that absolutely adores makeup and all things beauty. These glowy, glossy washes double as a plumping treatment. She can leave it in her car console and brush it on and feel instantly made up for whatever the day has in store for her!"

Party prep and mood-boosting scents: Elena's picks

Bare Hands manicure set: “You've got to get your hands in order for all the holiday parties!”
Kerzon La Tour Eiffel: “The perfect scent for the season. It’s an instant mood booster.”
J.M. General Body Cream & Soap: “I love that these have a custom, signature scent only available at Ayla.”

Self-care-forward: Maria's favorites

MyHavtorn Body Oil: “Self-care in a bottle. I especially love it in the winter - makes my skin feel super soft.”
Dara Kennedy Sea Serum: “There are all sorts of technical things you can say about it, but it brightens my skin and gives me a glow.”
Les Fleurs de Bach Anti-Stress Treating Fragrance: “I’ve been working on managing my stress, and I asked Dara for some recommendations. I was a little skeptical when I read the description…but it feels like fairies are spraying their magic pixie dust on you.”
