Brilliant Gift Ideas for Everyone on Your List

Holiday shopping can be a challenge for even the most creative gift-givers, whether you’re shopping for your work wife or your too-cool niece. Plus, gifting calls for new ideas year after year, making it all the more likely to feel like you’ve run out of options. Not only do they have to feel personal (no regifting here!) but they also need to be useful — rather than languish in a corner collecting dust. 

That’s where gifts for healthy hair can be particularly helpful. They’re both intensely personal, playing a part in your giftee’s routine and catering to their beauty needs, as well as functional, helping to refresh styles, minimize frizz, and beyond. With that in mind, consider these great gift ideas for every type of recipient, budget, and occasion.

Bestsellers 

It’s hard to go wrong with a bestseller, even for people who (seemingly) have everything. Because there’s power in numbers — when a product is flying off the shelves, that’s a clue that it’s especially good. Take, for instance, the Perfect hair Day™ Dry Shampoo, which has been a fan-favorite for years; it remains in rotation because people can’t get enough of its hair-refreshing, style-extending power. Newer to the list is Triple Bond Complex; this more recent launch is a weekly, leave-in strengthening treatment that actually leaves hair 8x stronger*, smoother, softer, and more manageable in a single use. Your friend with the standing coloring appointment will thank you. Shop all the Bestsellers here.

Lily’s Picks 

Whether for the Emily in Paris superfan or person who loves a red-carpet look, it’s hard to go wrong with Lily Collins’s favorites. The Lp. ambassador, who won a Golden Globe ahead of her role as Emily in the record-breaking Netflix series, prioritizes restoring her hair health between sessions in the styling chair. For that reason, you can find Restore Perfecting Spray on her list; it smooths, strengthens, and protects hair ahead of styling. Perfect hair Day™ Healthy Hair Perfector is also among her favorites, since the lightweight treatment transforms dry, damaged hair in an instant — leaving it softer, shinier, and overall healthier looking. Shop all of Lily’s Lp. Essentials here.

TikTok Favorites 

How to impress even the most bored Gen Z-er in your life? Treat them to a haircare product with a viral following. You’ll find Perfect hair Day™ Shampoo and Conditioner here, as they’re both loved by TikTokers for their ability to cleanse and care for any hair type. And don’t sleep on the Curl Collection; those in the curly community put it to the test for soft, bouncy curls. Shop all the TikTok Favorites here.

Award Winners 

Why choose your holiday gifts yourself when beauty editors can do it for you? These award-winning products stood out from the rest in the eyes of experts, so you can trust that they’ll delight your recipient, too. Full Dry Volume & Texture Spray, for instance, won the Best Volumizing Spray category from the pros at New Beauty, while the Curl Enhancer snagged an esteemed Allure Beauty Award back in 2021. From shampoos to stylers, you’ll find a ton of winners to choose from. Shop all the Award Winners here.
