Oftentimes, the best gifts are totally out-of-the-box and unconventional. Don't get us wrong, we love a good skin-care set and makeup palette as much as the next person, but those ideas can feel a little stale if you're shopping for someone who's literally tried every trendy beauty gadget, tool, and product there is on the market. If you want to find a truly never-before-seen present for a beauty enthusiast [1], you need to get creative.
To help you really impress this year, we found the most unexpected and out of the ordinary gift ideas [2] for you to shop and rounded them up in what is quite possibly the quirkiest gift guide you've read yet. Some of the products and sets look like they belong in a sci-fi movie, but that's kind of the point. These beauty gifts will have them intrigued and saying to you, "Wait, what does it do?" with the most excitement you've ever gotten over a present.
So, without further ado, keep scrolling to find a list of the most quirky and eccentric beauty finds that everyone on your list will love.
Skin Gym Facial Cupping Set
You're probably asking yourself what on earth this is. Allow us to introduce you to Skin Gym Facial Cupping Set [3] ($28). This gift set contains four cupping tools, two minis and two larger ones. When they glide these suction cups over their face, it will help tone, lift, and contour.
OLIKA Hydrating Hand Sanitizer Clip-On
The OLIKA Hydrating Hand Sanitizer Clip-On [4] ($15) looks like the candy Peeps you eat around Easter time but instead of a marshmallow centre, it packs a germ-fighting mist.

This interesting contraption is the Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Colorless Pro Facial Steamer [6] ($150). It will allow them to recreate a relaxing, spa-like facial at home — something we could all use this year.
Puritize Home
2020 has taught us a lot of things, one of them being just how important it is to sanitize items that we use every day. The Puritize Home [7] ($200) uses ultraviolet light to kill 99.9 percent of germs. They can use it on their makeup products, cell phones, keys, tweezers — the list goes on and on.
Formulary 55 CALM Herbal Facial Steam by Gavin Luxe

They'll never want to use a regular old makeup sponge again after they see this cute Baseblue Cosmetics Holiday Snowman Makeup Sponge [9] ($13).
Foreo Women's IRISTM
We know what this looks like but it is in fact a really effective facial tool. The Foreo Women's IRISTM [10] ($139) is a silicone under-eye massager that helps depuff and reduce the appearance of dark circles.

We could all use an excuse to relax and release some pressure. The Ora Space Advanced Acupressure Kit [11] ($25) has all of the tools they need to do a guided acupressure session at home.

Mini fridges are no longer just for drinks and snacks. The Evian x Cooluli Infinity [12] ($90) will keep their skin-care products perfectly chilled.
Burst Electric Toothbrush with Charcoal Sonic Toothbrush Head Gift Set, Special Edition Rose Gold
A basic toothbrush that you pick up from the drugstore doesn't exactly make for an exciting gift but the Burst Electric Toothbrush with Charcoal Sonic Toothbrush Head Gift Set, Special Edition Rose Gold [13] ($100) sure does. This is the sexiest toothbrush you'll find on the market.
Slept Satin Weighted Eye Mask
Give them the gift of great sleep with the Slept Satin Weighted Eye Mask [14] ($42). It's made from smooth satin fabric and has a nice weight to it to help promote restful shut-eye.
