Choosing the perfect holiday gifts for your loved ones can be a lot of pressure. If you can’t decide on just one item, gift sets are a great option: They allow you to give family and friends a collection of products that align with their interests, whether they’re into cooking or skin care. Many gift sets also come packaged inside a decorative box or bag, making them easy to wrap and convenient to ship to those you may not see in person this season.
To help guide your holiday shopping, we rounded up gift sets from brands like Brightland, Bombas, Drybar and more. To select gift sets, we referenced previous coverage and associated expert guidance on topics like skin care and cooking, and included items across a variety of price points based on Select reader interest. And if you're worried about items arriving by Christmas, we recommend you check out our guide to last-minute gifts.
