This time of year, friends and family and holiday sales abound. 'Tis the season. But another fun fact about this time of year is that beauty gift sets also abound. Even brands that don't typically sell sets or special sizes of their products tend to get in on it in the months leading up to the holidays. While you can certainly purchase these sets for their intended purpose of gifting, I personally prefer to purchase them for myself for several reasons.
Beauty product gift sets are almost always cheaper than if you were to purchase the items in the set separately. It's also a great opportunity to stock up on travel sizes since many brands don't typically make them. Not only that, but if you're thinking about purchasing the full size of something, you can try it first by purchasing a gift set. We love a low-commitment beauty buy.
With that, keep scrolling to shop 32 beauty product gift sets that are 100% worthy of purchasing for yourself.
Shani Darden
Age-Defying Retinol Set

Merit
The Holiday Essentials Face Set
The products (and exact shades) chosen for Merit's holiday set are all ones that I've tried and adore.
Charlotte Tilbury
Pillow Talk Lip Secrets
Pillow Talk is the world's best perfect lip shade in any form, so this set is obviously a must.
Tatcha
Purify, Treat, and Hydrate Trio
I love Tatcha's Dewy line so much, especially in the winter. And these sizes are quite generous.

Look what I found hiding atReplica Store. This is your chance to discover what all the hype is about. (Also, this set of U Beauty's epic products is valued at $214.)
Tom Ford

These gorgeous shades are so perfect for the holidays, and the eye shadow palette alone is valued at $88.
Vintner's Daughter
Radiance and Renewal: The Essential Set
I've yet to come across any copycat product that even comes close to the original (which is worth every penny).

I've seen Westman Atelier's Lip Suedes on, and all I can say is wow. (Also, how gorgeous is that highlighter?)

This buzzy brand's set is great for improving texture and discoloration.

Saie

Based on the following that Saie has, I imagine this set will sell out.
