I love a good gift guide. No matter that I know both magazines and online publications use beauty gift ideas as an easy way to make money (sponsored content ftw!), for me, it’s the at-home version of window shopping. And: the more outrageous, the better.

Therefore: why don’t you join me for a leisurely online stroll where I show you the weirdest and most out-there beauty gift ideas I could find?

Gift responsibly – beauty gift ideas

I should add the disclaimer that I seriously hate gifting for the sake of it, mindless clutter and STUFF, and that this guide is just me getting a kick out of the world wide web and the quirkiness it has to offer. Gift responsibly!

For the die-hard beauty junkie

For the one that owns every Natasha Denona Palette, every Pat McGrath lipstick and just LOVES the new Tom Ford collection. That’s someone who clearly needs a matching Pat McGrath teacup and saucer for their Lapsang Suchong. Throw in some pins just for fun.

For the 80s lover

There’s always one who only listens to 80s mixes, loves that whole new neon makeup trend, is suuuuuuper into acid washed jeans and carries a bumbag? That’s the one who needs a silk scrunchie. Not any old scrunchie, but rather made from SILK. (Everything is better made from silk. Pyjamas, pillowcases, face masks. Trust me.)

For a better life

And who doesn’t need that?! If scent’s your security blanket, this works has just the thing. Namely, a portable scent diffusor, so you can walk around in your own personal cloud of incense or cinnamon. (And never mind the plebs on the plane who sit next to you and maybe aren’t into vanilla. Well, that’s their problem, isn’t it?!)

For the homebody

I get it. There’re days when I don’t want to peek out of the door. However: what happens when life intrudes INTO that sacred space, your home, and energy vampires start to suck the life right out of you?! Fear not! Just spritz some Psychic Vampire Repellent, and you’re good. I mean, this concoction has not only essential oils, but most noteworthy, crystals that are blessed with love and reiki.

Or…

If you’re a bit doubtful about that, just get an anti-asshole candle from Felicie Aussi, which smells of figs. 

If you need some gold in your life

You think that those quartz and jade rollers are where it’s at?! Think again. You’re a precious princess! You deserve the best! You deserve – gold. Especially, 24k. Imagine: gold-plated goodness, gently vibrating against your skin… (sorry, got distracted there).

It’s a gadget. It has an app. I want it!

Faintly related, you might consequently want to train that pelvic floor (no incontinence for you!), therefore here’s an insertable pelvic floor trainer. Most important, it somehow manages to look like a very chic sex toy which will make present unwrapping a lot more fun for everyone.

If you’re one of the upper 2%
