The best beauty gifts for her are the ones that suit her everyday routine. A hot brush is a good fit if she blow-dries her hair most days, while a makeup palette suits someone who likes trying new looks.
This guide rounds up our favourite Christmas gift ideas for her, from salon-favourite hair tools to cosmetics gift sets. You'll also find grooming gifts for him and simple picks for friends, so you can sort your whole list in one go!
Christmas gifts for her
These Christmas gift ideas for women cover everyone from your wife and daughter to your mother-in-law! Whether she styles her hair daily or loves a full face of makeup, each pick is easy to use from Christmas morning to well into the New Year!
ghd Rise Hot Brush for the wife who loves a bouncy blow-dry
View product | View ghd range | View all Hot Brushes
If you're after a Christmas gift for your wife that she'll reach for every week, the ghd Rise Hot Brush is a great place to start. It's designed for body and lift on dry hair, holding a steady 185°C across its 32mm barrel. The 5mm bristles sit close to the root, so the volume starts right where it counts.
ghd says the Rise creates twice the volume of naturally dried hair, and the tapered handle stays comfortable through a full head of styling. Pair it with a heat protect spray, and her salon-style blow-dry is ready without the fuss.
ghd Mini Styler for the girlfriend who loves to travel

If she travels often, the ghd Mini Styler makes a practical gift for your girlfriend this Christmas. ghd says its 15mm plates are 40% slimmer than its standard plates, so it packs easily into a weekend bag.
The narrow plates sit close to the root, making them a good match for bobs and fringes. It's also handy for quick touch-ups between full styling sessions!
Revlon One-Step Volumiser for your daughter
View product | View Revlon range | View all Hot Brushes
If your daughter loves a bouncy blow-dry but doesn't want to juggle a dryer and round brush, the Revlon One-Step Volumiser Original 1.0 in Pink dries and styles in one step. Its oval brush smooths through the lengths, while the rounded edges add lift at the root and a soft bend at the ends.
She can use it on towel-dried hair and choose from three heat settings to suit her hair. It's a practical gift, whether she's just starting to style her own hair or simply wants faster, easier mornings.

Christmas gifts for him
Need gift ideas for guys who have everything? Whether you're shopping for your partner, dad, father-in-law or brother, a quality grooming product goes a long way, especially if it's something he wouldn't buy for himself.

The Gamma+ Absolute Hitter Trimmer is a professional cord or cordless trimmer with a black diamond carbon blade for clean outlines and beard lines. The blade adjusts to zero gap for a close finish, and the removable drop-top lid gives him a clearer view of the blade while he trims.
It also comes with rose-gold and gold body kits, so he can change the trimmer's look to suit his style. If you're looking for a Christmas gift for the man who has everything, it's a clear step up from a standard home trimmer.
