Beauty gifts for hard-to-buy-for co-workers, family members or friends are tricky enough to come by, but when it’s for a Kris Kindle, it can be even harder. Here are some ideas…
Aren’t Kris Kindles the worst sometimes? Buying things for people you know is hard enough, but throwing some casual acquaintances from work into the equation and it’s a recipe for Christmas mayhem.
If you’re not sure what beauty gifts someone might like, these five are virtually guaranteed to come in on target, and none are over the €20 mark.
Catrice Merry Go Round Mini ICONails Set
Shades everyone will like, and as an added incentive, most people have nails. Ideal.
Aveda Styling Essentials Cracker
Thickening tonic, styling foam, damage remedy and blow dry spray… In one cracker. For less than €20. Hair goals, cracking cracker.
Beauty Blender Jewel Box
A cute Christmas decoration-style present, this one will reveal a blender and a gemstone cleanser. Perfect for beauty lovers – we all need clean brushes, and we all need a blender (whether we know it or not).

Voya Calming Skin Duo
Containing a moisturiser and serum, from Irish brand Voya, this little stocking filler would suit any skin type, even the most sensitive, and so proves a simple skincare buy for a Kris Kindle.

Note No Make-up Make-up Set
Making beauty buying simple and straightforward, this has all the basics – thus being fairly non-commital. Nude lippy, primer, BB cream and a compact blush are all infinitely usable.
