50 Unique Gifts for People Who Have Everything

Has your sister been talking your ear off about how she wants to jazz up her makeup routine? Well, her wish is…her Christmas gift. First up is Magic Flik, a smudge-proof black liquid liner with a flat, disc-like felt tip applicator that is as unique and versatile as it looks. Draw a wing, however thin or thick, or draw outside the lines and go graphic. The other item is Magic Drip in Chaos Prone, a glittery lip gloss that looks as good alone as it does on top of their favorite lip color. Hello, instant glamour.

At Allure, we're firm believers in the magic of sleeping on silk, but we also love sleeping in silk, especially when it's something as comfortable and low-maintenance as this set from Lunya. Made from washable silk (so, no need to dry-clean) and with temperature-regulating qualities like low-back ventilation, these pajamas keep you cool even when your radiator kicks on unexpectedly in the middle of the night. Pay attention, hot sleepers: If you've never shopped for sleepwear from Lunya, there's no better time than this holiday season to end your streak.

Allbirds Tree Runners aren't any ordinary sneakers. These lightweight shoes are made with eucalyptus tree fiber that lends itself to natural airflow and breathability. Available in plenty of classic and limited-edition colorways and sizes 5 to 11, they'll want to wear these everywhere from the grocery store to a day at the museum. The best part? They're machine-washable. Simply remove the laces and insoles, pop them into a delicates bag, choose a gentle cycle with cold water, air dry, and your shoes will be as good as new after one or two wears. Be prepared to see them donning these every time you hang out.

The busy bees in your life will appreciate the moments of self-care they take while filling out the Papier Joy Wellness Journal. (Speaking of busy bees, thanks to Amazon Prime shipping, this is the perfect last-minute gift that doesn't sacrifice thoughtfulness.) They can start the day by jotting down their intentions for the day and wind down by reflecting on what went well that day, any lingering thoughts and feelings, and what they're thankful for.

In between, they can keep track of sleep, activities, meals, and water intake — making it a little easier to achieve their New Year's Resolution of drinking more water, exercising more regularly, journaling, or just plain taking better care of themselves.

We know that fragrance is a hard gift to nail. So, why not take an easier route — as in, no need to pepper your friend with endless vague-ish questions in which you try to decipher their exact scent preferences — and present them with a collection of mini eau de perfumes? Enter D.S. & Durga's Deluxe Box Set. Front and center is Pistachio Eau de Parfum, a 2023 Best of Beauty Award winner that was described by our testers as "the fragrance equivalent of ice cream spiked with the nut: lusciously smooth and playfully sweet."

Accompanying this delightful nose-please is the bergamot-forward I Don't Know What, floral Jazmin Yucatan, woody Radio Bombay, sagey Cowboy Grass, and figgy-musky Debaser.

Skin-care minis are the best way for your bestie to sample new products without committing…but the colorful scheme of Herbivore Rainbow Minis Serums + Oils Bestsellers Set is a major bonus. This five-piece gift set is loaded with Phoenix Facial Oil to replenish dry skin, Lapis Facial Oil to balance sebum production, Nova Brightening Serum to even skin tone, Milky Way Exfoliating Serum to exfoliate and soothe skin, and Moon Fruit Retinol Alternative Serum to address signs of aging without irritation.

If you ever watch a Korean makeup artist at work, chances are high that they'll use a lighter to briefly run an open flame along a wooden stick before brushing said stick along the bases of someone's lashes — a time-old trick that helps stubborn, stick-straight lashes actually, well, curl. Grande Cosmetics' GrandeLash-Lift Heated Lash Curler uses the same concept except it's rechargeable, has a curved shape to ensure each lash is accounted for, and has two temperature settings (low and high). And, don't fret, the grooved "safety slot" design is put in place to guard your eyelid from coming in direct contact with the heat.

Pickleball continued its reign into 2023 and shows no signs of slowing down. (Notably, Walmart and Break the Love teamed up to give Walmart customers access — Walmart+ members get exclusive perks — to free Pickleball court time and classes.) If your friend still hasn't experienced a game, or you simply want to upgrade their existing paddle, Tangerine offers vibrant, colorful options such as Lanai pictured that they'll want to show off ASAP. Best of all, they only weigh 7.6 ounces for better hand speed and have a fiberglass surface that boosts the spin and pop of every shot.

Like the idea of gifting flowers but wished they lasted longer? Because, same. That's where Uncommon Goods' Birth Month Wildflower Bouquet comes in. Carefully crafted from recycled glass, recycled paper, brass wire, and alder wood base, this faux bouquet acts as a stunning piece of decor and, as its name would suggest, has 12 different designs, from carnation (January) to narcissus (December).

What's better than gifting a candle? Gifting 12 candles, of course. Apotheke's Seasonal Discovery Set looks luxe from the outside in, thanks to white and gold details. These mini candles will bring joy to any space, fitting every mood, gathering, or cozy reading session it's lit for. While they're all special in their own right, some standouts are Canvas (a slightly musky, fresh-linen blend), Earl Grey Bitters (aromatic tea flavors with hints of citrus), and Tonka Oak (a creamy, smooth blend of almond, cardamom, coconut, and tonka bean).

There's nothing quite as luxurious as sleeping on top of a silk pillowcase — even if your friend lives in a cramped studio apartment. Brooklinen's silk pillowcase and silk eye mask are made from 100% mulberry silk — meaning the silkworms are exclusively fed mulberry leaves — that's cool to the touch and breathable. They'll love waking up to smoother, frizz-free hair and the fact that this set is machine-washable (with cold water, that is).

The collab we never expected but fell head-over-heels for: Tower 28 x The Comfy. This impossible cozy wearable blanket just might make them dread dreary winter days (thanks, daylight savings time) slightly less. Cozy up with a mug of hot cider (spiked or plain) and a holiday-theme flick — but not before you stuff their roomy pouch with as many snacks as possible from the kitchen/pantry.

As you can expect, the lavender Comfy has sold like hotcakes but this BFF set is still up for grabs. After all, the best gifts are ones that are for you, too. To sweeten the package, you and bestie also get to choose a ShineOn Lip Jelly for donut-glazed lips.

Winter weather and hand creams go like crosses fingers. This stocking stuffer manages to be practical and unique because it's infused with the essence of freshly baked Nestlé Toll House chocolate chip cookies. Yep, that's right. Beekman 1802's creamy goat milk is infused with notes of warm chocolate, vanilla bean, and crushed macadamia, all while soothing dry, cracked hands.

The gift of new skin care is always appreciated, and when it's from a dermatologist-approved brand like Alastin, it's going to a be certified hit. The Jet-Setting Skincare 6-Piece Set has everything they need — cleanser, moisturizer, and mineral sunscreen, both transparent and tinted — to ensure their skin stays calm and in peak condition while traveling. Tie it together with a bow — a literal one, courtesy of a lavender Plush Spa Headband.

Inspired by wintery scents from the far north (think sprawling woods, fragrant tea, a wood fire's warmth cutting through a blanket of snow), the Guerlain Ences d'Hiver Diffuser is an elegant gift to a loved one who's already tried every candle the world has to offer. The fragrance from the diffuser lasts about three months, and the box includes a replacement set that they can pop in when it's time for a refresh. Tell your giftee they should place the diffuser in the center of a room for optimal perfumed goodness.

They can't be the hostess with the mostess without this elegant, minimalist Vinglacé Wine & Champagne Chiller. This stainless steel container is double-walled and vacuum-insulated and will house any 750-milliliter bottle at the perfect drinking temperature for however long the festivities require.

Why gift a candle when you can let them make their own? Sculpd's Candle-Making Pottery Kit is beginner-friendly and comes with everything they need to create an air-dry clay candle pot in their preferred shape and style — including soy wax and matches. Choose from Peony Rose, Basil & Citrus, and Orange & Ginger fragrance oils. For just $21 more, you can buy a set of two and join in on the fun. Instant date night, secured.

You can't escape it, so why not embrace it? The beauty of Marc Jacobs' The Leather Small Tote Bag is in its simplicity. Yes, it's a tote bag — loud and proud. This hyped-up bag has a structured silhouette, flat base, interior pocket, removable strap, and top zipper to conceal your precious belongings. While there are classic colorways such as Camel (shown here) and Black, you can also gift an adventurous hue like Lavender or Apple (bright green). The world is your gifting oyster.

Everything Danessa Myricks puts out is stunning and this season's Dynamic Chrome Duo is no exception. Colorfix Foils, a past Best of Beauty Award winner, and Infinite Chrome Flakes are both Allure editor-approved — and we guarantee your makeup-loving bestie doesn't have anything like these party-ready pigments in her collection. Until now. They'll be rocking Candy (frosty blue with multi-tonal reflects) and Confetti (pink lilac with multi-tonal reflects) at every holiday soiree.

Scented jewelry? Kinda groundbreaking. That's one way to ensure a gift won't be returned or forgotten. Diptyque's Best of Beauty-winning Pret A Parfumer Infused Bracelet is infused with the scent of your choice — choose between floral Do Son, fresh Eau Rose, woody Tam Dao, aromatic Eau Capitale, or minty Eau de Minthé — creates a totally new way for them to wear their favorite scent and accessorize at the same time. Each "dispenser" comes with 30 bracelets (each should last around a week) so they'll be well-stocked for quite a while.

Not everyone is on Team Weighted Blanket but Nodpod Body might just convert those who aren't or find them a bit suffocating. Measuring 29 by 24 inches, it's not unreasonable to travel with, but even if you're just lounging around all day, the 6.5-pound weight is very approachable. One side is cooling jersey cotton, while the other is soft microfiber, and it's all machine-washable. This one's for your long-distance besties — if you can't hug them in person, gift them a hug.

Apple watches are great and all, but they're not the most attractive device to wear. Oura's Horizon Ring fits in seamlessly with any look, attracts tons of compliments ("Is that THE Oura ring?"), and tracks sleep, activity, and readiness (which is a combined look at your recent activity, sleep patterns, and key biometric signals). It's a splurge but think of it as gifting a little piece of mindfulness.

We're not trying to toot our own horns (OK, maybe a little) but the Best of Beauty Awards is a fabulous source of inspiration for holiday gift ideas. Take the NuFace Trinity+, which we named the best skin device in 2022 (and then again in 2023). If your loved one wants their skin to look snatched, this is the at-home microcurrent tool that'll help them do it.

We're big fans of Lululemon accessories because they're equal parts chic and functional. Made with water-repellent fabric, this Everywhere Belt Bag is roomy enough to store all of their essentials (repeat after us: phone, keys, wallet) yet small enough to conceal underneath a winter coat for extra security. Have fun choosing between 11 fun colorways/patterns.

Outfitted in a gorgeous ultra-blue and blush-pink scheme, Dyson's bringing the heat (literally) to the holiday season with another edition of its Special Edition Airwrap Styler Complete. The magic found within this volumizing, two-time Best of Beauty Award winner can be attributed to the Coanda effect, which involves high-velocity air in round objects that, in turn, creates a vortex-like effect for the perfect curls — with less heat damage, we might add.

The luxe set comes with a whopping ten attachments and accessories: 1.2-inch wide Airwrap barrels, 1.6-inch wide Airwrap barrels, coanda smoothing dryer attachment, soft and firm smoothing brushes, round volumizing brush, paddle brush, detangling comb, filter cleaning brush — and of course, the iconic case. This is a game-changer, hands down, and whoever is lucky enough to receive this will be over the moon.

You've probably heard all about a best-selling gadget called the Theragun, which does wonders for relieving sore muscles, and perhaps even the TheraFace Pro (the smaller, face-targeted version that also accommodates a variety of LED lights) — but if they're not into the pounding massages, you might want to snag a pair of Therabody’s SmartGoogles for them.

This is no ordinary sleep mask. The innovative, Bluetooth-compatible eye mask comes programmed with three modes: Focus, SmartRelax, and Sleep. Get this: SmartRelax mode activates personalized vibration patterns with the intention to lower your heart rate and alleviate stress/anxiety. Heat is also used in conjunction with massages and vibrations, which can relieve eye strain and release facial tension and help lull you to sleep faster.

Why gift them any 'ol coffee mug when Ember's Mug² Temperature Control Smart Mug exists? It comes equipped with a smart coaster that keeps hot drinks at the perfect temperature — anywhere between 120 and 145 degrees Fahrenheit — which can be set and adjusted via the Ember app. The mug is designed with a rechargeable, 1.5-hour-life battery, so they can enjoy a full day of cozy, never-chilled beverages.

One of the Internet's favorite hair tools, the Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer and Volumizer now has an upgraded version — logically named One-Step Volumizer Plus — that picked up a 2022 Best of Beauty Award. Just like the original, the One-Step simultaneously dries and styles hair to keep heat damage and frizz to a minimum. Meanwhile, the tufted bristles and nylon pins swiftly detangle hair and amplify shine.

As for the differences, the hot tool is equipped with a now-detachable head, slimmer handle, longer-lasting motor, activated charcoal pins, and a medium heat setting that joins the existing low, high, and cool options.

OPI just debuted its xPress-On Nail Art Press On Nails just in time for the holiday season and we're about to swipe a few for ourselves, in addition to picking up some as stocking stuffers for friends and family. Gifting a gel manicure appointment can get pricey but these press-ons are anything but that. Plus, who doesn't adore OPI shades like Big Apple Red and Alpine Snow, as well as cute nail art like the So Into Blue pictured above?

Prepare to hear some squealing from your fitness-loving friends when they open up their Alo Moves Annual Membership Gift Box. Anyone from beginners to experts will appreciate this gift card that unlocks 12 months of unlimited access to yoga, fitness, and meditation video classes — including Yoga for Better Sleep and Power Barre — from world-class instructors in the comfort of their own homes. (They can partake via the TV, web, or even their phone or tablet.) This subscription is pretty much the closest thing to gifting good health and mindfulness.

For all of your apartment-dwelling foodie friends who don't need a collection of big pots and pans or have the space, Our Place's Mini Perfect Pot is the perfectly portioned gift. Seriously, this 2.5-quart pot does it all — boils, bakes, braises, roasts, fries, and strains — and they can easily eat out of it to avoid washing another dish. Not to mention, how cute are the color options (we love Blue Salt and Lavender)?

Standard robes, yawn. Blanket robes? Innovation. We all know someone who hates leaving their bed every morning (raises hand) but Casper's Snoozewear Blanket Robe makes it a little easier. This puffy piece of outerwear makes you feel as if they're bundled up in a duvet and the best part is that there are pockets (!!!) so they can store as many necessities (snacks) as they want with each kitchen run.

Give your friends and family members something classic, yet totally unique, with Baublebar's Custom 14K Gold Vermeil Nameplate Necklace. You can choose from three fonts and five chain types (i.e. braided or paperclip) and customize the necklace to display their name, nickname, or any word that has sentimental value. There's no gift better suited to them.

P.S. Baublebar has tons of customizable accessories, including 14K gold monogram necklaces, hair brushes, and phone cases.

There's nothing quite like a made-to-order, personalized gift from Etsy's vast inventory of small businesses. Belle Pivoine digitally paints custom illustrations of you and your family (pets included) — just take a look at the review photos for "aww"-inducing portraits. If you're short on time, you may be able to purchase "rush work" (depending on the artist's availability) and save some mondey in the process.

Stuff it…in a Glossier Duffle Bag. And we mean everything. This roomy nylon bag fits everything they could ever need for a weekend getaway, gym session, and whatever else life throws at them. Bonus points if you toss in a few extra goodies inside. We're thinking of a Water Bottle (for staying hydrated) and Fresh-Faced Set (for serving looks).

As the first-ever Best of Beauty Award winner for Best Humidifier or Air Purifier, Hey Dewy's Portable Facial Humidifier is kind of a big deal. While it's petite in stature, ringing in at just six inches tall, this cute device holds an impressive amount of water (11 ounces) that dispenses evenly and gently in mist form for up to eight hours.

Whether you're working at your desk or driving to your next destination, it'll keep the air in your immediate space from drying out so that your skin stays hydrated and plump. Unlike its predecessor, the Wireless Facial Humidifier doesn't require a USB power cord to run (no more laptop overheating, hopefully) and only takes four hours to fully charge in between.

If they're all about low-maintenance nails, they'll adore Le Mini Macaron's 1-Step Gel Manicure Kit — especially since they can save a ton of money painting and curing their nails at home rather than the salon. This simplified, five-piece set comes with a 3-in-1 base, topcoat, and nail polish color (Cherry Red pictured above), as well as a cuticle pusher and mini nail file to prep your nails. From there, all they have to do is use the pocket-size lamp to seal in your gel — and they're ready to take on anything and everything with nearly-indestructible nails. 

What's better than one gift? One gift every month, thanks to an Allure Beauty Box subscription. Your friend, who loves trying out the greatest and latest in beauty, will receive well-deserved pampering delivered straight to their door. To get specific, this editor-approved subscription box is stocked with six or more products that are valued at over $100, three of which are full-size. The cherry on top is all of the Zoom (or in-real-life) spa nights you'll be having together in the near future.

Give them a 3-month subscription for as little as $65, or if you really want to spoil them, sign them up for an annual subscription.

Available in a festive Ruby Red that's perfectly in line with a Christmas gift, Saje's Aroma (Be) Free Cordless Diffuser will upgrade their immediate surroundings, well, immediately. This attractive, abstract shape can moonlight as an accent decor piece but makes their home smell sublime and your senses more relaxed at the same time — there's no going wrong. Add a few drops of essential oil or water into the diffuser for up to four hours of whisper-quiet, continuous misting (or eight hours intermittently).

A film camera is always a great gift idea but we invite you to one-up their expectations with one that’s meant to go underground. Equipped with removable waterproof casing, Sunnylife’s Underwater Camera lets them snap fun photos of their loved ones — or perhaps aquatic animals during a snorkeling session while they’re away for vacation. Time to invite yourself along to the latter.

To help them get the most out of their hair-care treatments, Kitsch's Deep-Conditioning Flaxseed Heat Cap Set is the ideal gift. Simply pop this luxurious cap, which is made out of polyester and filled with flaxseeds, into the microwave for a few minutes to get it warmed up before popping it over a shower cap to lock in that sweet, sweet moisture.

We adore Kristin Ess accessories to begin with, but the most innovative of the bunch might just be The Zipper Pocket Scrunchie, which is designed with a hidden pocket to store your keys, cash, and even barrettes for even more pizzazz.

We're big fans of Away suitcases, so when we found out the luggage brand was launching limited-edition Dotcom (pictured above) and Bling (a frosty white) colorways inspired by the 1990s, we were definitely on board. For the friend who already has their 2024 travel plans mapped out, there's no better (and more useful) present than The Bigger Carry-On — the perfect suitcase for a longer international trip.

What's better than unwinding with a matcha latte? We'll be sipping on a freshly frothed cup while we try to conjure an answer. Golde's Superwhisk + Matcha Kit includes a jar of 100-percent pure, shade-grown green tea leaves from Uji, Japan that'll last you 15 to 12 lattes. The key to your recharging session, however, is the handheld, USB-rechargeable Superwhisk. All you need is two teaspoons of warm water poured over one to two teaspoons of Pure Matcha — plus whatever a touch of sweetener, like honey, if you'd like — to use it. (P.S. You save $7 as opposed to buying these two items individually.)

Treat your tasteful friends to a mini-library of scents à la the Ellis Brooklyn Booklet Fragrance Discovery Set, which allows them to check out a selection of five two-milliliter rollerballs. Will they start with warm-floral Myth or dive straight into Salt, which picked up a 2020 Best of Beauty Award for Best Tropical Scent? Or, perhaps their story will start with the juicy, pear-scented Sweet, spicy, rum-infused Bee, and bright, blood orange-laced West. Either way, they'll be entertained for quite a while.

Do your friends enjoy a little spice in their lives? Let us introduce you to the Fly by Jing Triple Threat Trio, a pack of hot sauces crafted in Chengdu, Sichuan that's sure to put a zing in every bite. Dull food? Don't know her. They'll be able to sample (and cycle through) the Sichuan Chili Crisp (crispy, savory, and numbing), Zhong Sauce (sweet, tangy, and umami-rich), and Mala Spice Mix (herby goodness) at their own pace.

For friends and family members who frequently complain about back pain, an acupressure mat studded with thousands of tiny, ergonomically engineered spikes will be a very well-received gift. ProsourceFit's cushioned Acupressure Mat and Pillow Set has 8,000 acupressure points that are said to boost circulation, help with lymphatic drainage, and relieve pain. 

A former Allure editor swore by her mat to ease pain from chronic migraines, and the pillow worked out any kinks in her neck after a long day of staring at a laptop. This is a super useful gift for overworked friends who need a little help removing themselves from work mode and unwinding at the end of each day.

Got a coffee lover in your life who wants to shake things up? Copper Cow Coffee is a Vietnamese-owned brand specializing in sustainably-harvested Vietnamese origin coffee (blended robusta and arabica coffee) with fun flavors like Churro, Salted Caramel, Lavender, and more. They also pay their farmers two times market rates and directly partner with them to reduce farming chemicals and convert farms towards organic certification.

Though it's hard to choose just one, our top gifting pick is the Churro Latte Pour Over Coffee, which is infused with real (ground) cinnamon sticks during the brewing process. (We can almost smell the goodness through our screens.) All it takes is a mere 90 seconds to make a pour-over by adding hot water to the prefilled single-serve coffee filters and topping it off with the included Latte Creamer packet to taste — no coffeemaker or French press needed.

The gifting options don't stop there, however. We also recommend checking out the Latte Gift Set ($65) or Mystery Grab Bags ($17) for a surprise sampler
