The festive season is a special time of year. It brings everyone together, it's oh-so cosy, and of course, it's the season of giving. And when it comes to beauty, there are a lot of gift ideas to give at every price point, from handmade soaps and product-filled ornaments to vaults and hi-tech tools that cost several hundred pounds.
Now, we love a good-value-for-your-money gift set, but we also can't deny that there are beauty products out there with astronomical price tags that have been on our wish-lists all year long (like the Dr Dennis Gross LED Face Mask and the Dyson Air Wrap), or that there are limited-edition kits that have launched specifically for the festive season to test our willpower and tempt our wallets (looking at you, incredibly fancy, beautifully smelling candle set from Diptyque).
Sure, these 27 Christmas gifts are more, (much more) lavish than an ordinary trip to Boots, but there's probably no better time of year to ask for — or give yourself — a luxurious beauty gift, than the the festive season. So get ready to treat yourself, someone special in your life, or simply just marvel at the price tag of these exceptionally luxurious beauty gifts for 2019.

Nuface Trinity Supercharged Collection
Microcurrent devices have long been used by professional aestheticians during facial treatments for their ability not only to improve the tone and colour of your skin, but also to tighten it for up to 24 hours. And while the electrical currents in the Nuface Trinity Supercharged Collection (£315) aren't as strong as an in-office devices (but also not as pricy), they can still give an immediate lift to the cheeks, brows, and jawline.

Whoever you're gifting this Diptyque 12 Mini Candle Set (£120) to, they'll love you forever, but we also won't judge if you just want to treat yourself. The number of candles in this set is inspired by the months in the year, the Zodiac signs, and 12 hours of the day (or night), and all are a different pine-themed scents.

Victoria Beckham Cell Rejuvenating Priming Moisturiser
For her first foray into skin-care, Beckham tapped Augustinus Bader, the German stem-cell and biomedical scientist who created his own skincare line back in 2018 that quickly gained a devout fanbase of makeup artists, beauty editors, and celebrities — including Beckham herself. The secret behind the cream is Bader's proprietary TFC8 (Trigger Factor Complex-8) technology that's comprised of natural amino acids, vitamins, and "synthesised molecules naturally found in the skin," cosmetic chemist Ginger King told Allure. "It guides key nutrients and powerful natural ingredients to the skin cells, creating an optimal environment for the body's innate processes of repair and renewal," King added.
The Victoria Beckham Cell Rejuvenating Priming Moisturiser (£92) contains TCF8, as well as avocado oil and peptides. Together, the ingredients promise to combine the hydrating, cell-rejuvenating, and line-smoothing properties of a face cream, and the skin-smoothing, makeup-securing characteristics of a primer.
