Christmas shopping for your special someone, a Secret Santa or maybe a gift for yourself? You’ve come to the right place. There’s simply an overwhelming number of beauty products and skincare around, and if you’re not someone who is naturally affiliated with this sub-culture you might be slightly bamboozled by the whole thing. Skincare! Makeup! Skin Treatments! Light masks! We get it, it’s hard to know where to start. You need a beauty expert. In fact, you need a beauty connoisseur to confidently tell you which beauty products are good and which make excellent gifts. And, we are that someone.
We have done all the hard work for you so you don’t have to by rounding up the our favourite gifts for the season. Products so good that they come with a 99% chance of gift receiver satisfaction. And even if you somehow end up in the 1%, these products are simply so good they’ll be able to easily re-gift them guilt-free.
We’ve even put them into categories so you know who you’re dealing with and how to make the gift perfect for them. The great thing when it comes to gifting skincare is that there’s something for everyone, whether they’re seasoned pro or just dipping their toes into the world of serums and cleansers. Caci’s curated holiday kits and vouchers will make your loved ones glow with more than just joy this Christmas.
For the skincare lover
For those who know their retinols from their vitamin C, you’ll need to get them something that speaks to their knowledge and expertise. Here are a couple of ideas…
LED Facial Mask
The Skinsmiths LED mask is probably the most ideal present you can give the skincare lover in your life because they’re the kind of must-have item that is a bit of an investment. You can’t just drop a few hundred on a whim, but the results truly are worth the investment. So if they’ve been umming and ahhing about whether or not to take the plunge, why not do it for them? They’ll be rewarded by reducing fine lines, wrinkles, redness and promoting overall skin radiance and you’ll be rewarded by becoming their favourite person.
Murad Rejuvenate and Replenish Kit
This kit is a skincare superstar. Inside, you’ll find three powerhouse products that are designed to rejuvenate and replenish the skin.

For the skincare newbie
Not everyone has found their skincare groove yet, so you can take it upon yourself this Christmas to be the person to introduce them to it. Think of yourself as their skincare fairy godmother. Here are a few bonafide ways to get them started…
Skinsmiths PRO Discovery Defeat Dryness Kit
For those who aren’t yet indulging in skincare, dryness can be one of the first noticeable signs that it might be time to invest. The Defeat Dryness Kit is all about hydration and simplicity. Designed for anyone struggling with dry, tight skin, it’s the perfect introduction to a proper skincare routine. Packed with easy-to-use essentials that focus on plumping and nourishing, it’s basically like handing them the cheat sheet to dewy skin. Think of it as the perfect starter kit, one that hydrates, restores, and makes their skin feel plump and perfect. Plus, at an approachable price, it’s ideal for gifting without breaking the bank.
Skinsmiths PRO Essentials Banish Breakout Kits
Not always, but often acne is one of those skin concerns that happens in your youth. If this is someone you know then the Skinsmiths PRO Essentials Banish Breakout Kit is here to save the day. It’s tailored to tackle oil imbalance, clogged pores, and those pesky blemishes that pop up at the worst times. With a carefully curated set of products, this kit helps to clarify and balance the skin while keeping it healthy and hydrated. It’s perfect for someone who’s just dipping their toes into the skincare world but needs a little help clearing things up.
The fit of Gua Sha
If you’re looking for a stocking stuffer or a Secret Santa gift that doesn’t completely suck, you can’t go past a Gua Sha tool. This one by Skinsmiths comes in rose quartz and is designed to target puffy facial areas to sculpt the face and give you a snatched look, great for hiding a silly season hangover.
Caci Gift Voucher
This one is good for anyone who would appreciate a little selfcare but particularly if you are not sure where to start with their skincare journey! A Caci gift voucher is the perfect way to let them explore and choose what they’ll love! Whether they’re new to skincare or just need a little guidance, a voucher gives them the freedom to pick from a variety of treatments. From a Hydradermabrasion treatment to a Brightening Peel or a customised dollar value for any treatment they desire, it’s the perfect way to kickstart their skincare journey!
For those you deserve a little self care
Sometimes, we all need a little reminder to slow down and take care of ourselves. This Christmas, be the one to give them the perfect excuse to prioritise their skincare routine. Think of it as giving the gift of "me time."
Murad Revive and Repair Kit
This set is the skincare equivalent of a giant, soothing hug. With a selection of products that focus on repairing and reviving tired skin, it’s perfect for anyone who’s been burning the candle at both ends. Think radiant skin that’s refreshed and ready to take on the holiday season.
Skinsmiths LED Face Mask
This could really slot itself into any category fairly well, but particularly for those who are impartial to a bit of pampering. The Skinsmiths LED Facial Mask brings the glow straight to the comfort of their home and is a great compliment to any skin care treatments they may be having in-clinic. Using red and near-infrared light therapy, this mask works wonders on smoothing fine lines, boosting collagen, and giving the skin a serious glow-up. It’s perfect for those moments when they just want to kick back and treat themselves. Whether it’s a Sunday night ritual or a midweek pick-me-up, this mask is a game-changer for anyone who loves a little pampering.
Murad Exfoliate and Brighten Set
In the hustle and bustle of daily life, it’s easy to neglect moments of relaxation and rejuvenation, but this set brings an in-clinic facial to the comfort of their own home. With a microdermabrasion-like exfoliation and a powerful serum to brighten and smooth, it transforms a simple skincare routine into an indulgent ritual. Perfect for winding down after a stressful day (or year at that).
For the person who has everything
Working with someone whose bathroom cabinet is already packed to the brim? All you can do is help them replenish the products they probably already have and use regularly. Here are a few of them…
Murad Prevent and Renew Retinol Essentials
We’re telling you right now anyone who is passionate about skincare is using some form of retinol. So take a task off their to-do list by replenishing their stocks for them. Featuring two full-sized retinol formulas; Retinol Youth Renewal Serum and Retinol Youth Renewal Night Cream, this regimen helps prevent the look of wrinkles, smooth skin texture, and supports the skin’s natural overnight recovery process. And the best part is there are very, very few people who don’t absolutely love retinol products.
Murad Smooth and Hydrate Kit
The AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser is like a reset button for tired, dull skin. With a blend of salicylic, lactic, and glycolic acids, it gently buffs away dead skin cells and leaves the complexion smoother and brighter. Plus, the biodegradable jojoba beads add a little extra polish without being harsh. Pair that with the Hydro-Dynamic Ultimate Moisture, a rich but lightweight cream that floods the skin with hydration and leaves it feeling soft and bouncy. Together, these two are a dream team for anyone who wants to smooth, hydrate, and glow.
Still lost?
If you’re still not sure exactly what they will love, then you can’t beat a gift voucher. Whether they want to indulge in some of their favourite skincare products, or book themselves in for a skin treatment, let them decide (and you’ll still get adequate brownie points we promise).
