If you are having a hard time selecting just one makeup or lipstick compact, hit up LUSH Fresh Handmade Cosmetics for its “Wish List,” a gift box that is resplendent with 22 seasonal specialties like bath bombs, bubble bars, and more. And just because your man doesn’t want or need makeup, doesn’t mean he can’t put his best face forward, too.

For those looking to be the favorite Aunt or Uncle this holiday season, hit up IT’SUGAR for a Nostalgic Candy Box, which is a passport through candy history containing six pounds of such nostalgic sweets as Pop Rocks, Razzles, and Wonka Bars.

BLING IN THE NEW YEAR
Diamonds may or may not be a girl’s best friend, but this holiday season why not surprise the love in your life with a Judith Ripka Monaco Ring, an 18k gold ring complete with diamonds and sapphires? Or, if you’re shying away from a diamond ring, consider the Movado Trio, an 18k gold pavé circle pendant with brilliant diamonds, or the Tiffany and Co. Legacy Collection with exquisitely faceted round- and pear-shaped diamonds set in open geometric motifs including perfect squares and chevrons. Or, if she’s looking for something fashionable as well as functional, the ladies’ Tommy Bahama “Capri” watch with its pineapple dial and cream-colored leather strap is a perfect choice.
