35 Sephora Gift Ideas From Stocking Stuffers to Secret Santas, All For Under $25

With 55 shades including glitter, shimmer, high-shine and creme finishes, the biggest problem with the Sephora Collection Colour Hit Mini Nail Polish ($5) is picking just one. But, hey, at five bucks a pop, why not pick a few to toss into a stocking?

Encourage a friend who's simply always stressed to lay down and relax with the snuggly "Unplugged" sleep mask and five eye gels included in the Beautybio Bright Eyes Sleep Set ($25). They can pop a set of patches in the fridge with some Champagne and soon after they're both chilled, they will be, too.

This holiday gift idea has a little something for you, too. Before your next night in binging Christmas movies with your BFFs, pick up this Origins Mask and Go Set: On-the-Go Masking Must-Haves ($20). There are five different masks to choose from so you can each pick what you want to work on that day, from nourishing faces to re-texturizing skin that could use a little TLC.

For your gym-loving barre buddy or pilates pal, the Invisibobble SLIM the elegant hair ring ($8) will keep those flyaways at bay. (P.S. We have a great tip to help these hair rings keep their shape.)

Well, your foodie friends can't eat this lipstick, but they may just be tempted by its gingerbread scent. Plus, the hydrating Too Faced Melted Gingerbread Man Liquified Long Wear Matte Lipstick ($21) goes on like a gloss but ends up in a more matte finish to last straight through to (actual) dessert.

You know what they say: the family that masks together, stays together. Oh wait, we guess they don't say that . . . yet. This limited-edition Where is the Penguin? Mask Set ($25) has eight different masks, so let each member pick one for themselves and maybe this can be next year's holiday card photo. (Or gift one for each Hanukkah night.)

Not only is the hue especially reminiscent of holly berries, but both polishes in the Nails Inc. Joyful Nail Polish Duo ($15) are enriched with frankincense oil to strengthen and shield the colours from chipping. Just colour you one of the three wise men.

It's (way) cheaper than a plane ticket and you can still send your travel-loving pal off to sunny Rio de Janeiro, thanks to the Sol de Janeiro Bum Bum Carnaval Shimmer Set ($24). It includes a mini tub of the popular Brazilian Bum Bum Cream and a Cheirosa '62 candle in that same salted caramel and pistachio scent.

This Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Lil Stunna Mini Longwear Fluid Lip Colour ($15) comes in an exclusive, limited-edition deep burgundy shade for the holiday. Stun your lipstick-loving relative with how cool this gift looks hanging on the family tree.

This easy-to-apply Stila Glitter & Glow Liquid Eye Shadow ($24) is ideal for people who want a little sparkle, without a ton of mess. The smooth applicator wand makes it easy to sweep on any of the 15+ finishes available — and the beauty gift is special enough for friends who love a sparkly eye already, or for ones who are just getting started.

Treat a beautyblender-obsessed pal to this limited-edition ornament. The Jewel Box Mystery Sponge ($20) includes a gemstone cleanser to keep the popular foundation applicator in tip-top shape, and includes a new blender in a surprise hue, too.

The First Aid Beauty FAB Goodie Bag ($25) is a three-piece set, valued at $42. It includes something to exfoliate, hydrate, and prime your skin, no matter the season. Plus, your friend can use the case for their favourite beauty products, or even the other Sephora holiday gifts they received this year. That's four gifts in one!

No need for a first-class ticket here — this Belif Ho-Ho-Holiday Kit ($23) will seriously upgrade your frequent-flying pal's next long flight, or even help his skin stay hydrated and moisturised closer to home.

If you have a mascara-loving pal who's always wanting to try out a new option, gift them this Benefit Cosmetics Big Lash Adventure Mascara Holiday Value Set ($22). It includes three options so they can decide if today's the day for super-curling, lengthening, or volumizing that look.

One of the best things about gifting this Lilly Lashes 3D Mink Miami & Mini Lash Adhesive Ornament ($25) is that it includes both the lashes and the latex-free glue. The end result: a wispy-yet-natural look for a friend's festive night out.

If your daily workday routine includes running out for that third cup of coffee with your office pals, why not switch up their afternoon work routine with the Glo Science GLO Lit™ Teeth Whitening Vials 3 Pack ($24) instead. Just bring this to the office Yankee Swap, or offer the three vials to your favourite coworkers and let them get back to work ... or whitening their teeth.

If you've got a coworker who's always heading out on another hot date, boost her desk-drawer beauty stash with the Bumble and Bumble Reign, Dear: Texture Set ($20). There's a texture spray to boost her style at the end of a long day at the office, and even a dry shampoo to give it a quick refresh. Now let's hope it doesn't rain, dear.

It's sunny somewhere . . . but if that somewhere is not where you are, and you have a friend that craves a golden glow, gifting this brings the sun to her. The Coola Gradual Sunless Tan Anti-Ageing Face Serum and Dry Oil Mist ($24) promises a streak-free, natural-looking radiance that lasts up to three days, so she'll still look like she's coming back from a beach holiday when she's back in the office on Monday.

This Sephora Collection Tough as Nails Deluxe Manicure Kit ($20) can inspire the friend who's always complaining about how expensive her weekly manicures are to try her hand at a perfect manicure at home. It's also ideal for a germ-conscious gal who wants to bring her own tools to the salon, or is just plain useful for anyone with nails period.

For a family member or coworker who's often off on business trips, the Jack Black Carry on and Travel Fresh ($15) set can surely come in handy. The included cleanser and deodourant can be added to an existing toiletry bag, or even combined with other favourites to make a new, ready-to-go DIY gift set idea.

Celebrate a holiday special occasion and gift this Sephora Collection Decked Out! Hair Accessories Set ($15) to beauty lovers of any age. The scrunchies make an ideal stocking stuffer for both a child and for someone old enough to remember scrunchies from their own younger days.

Biting cold winter temps can quickly dry out one's hair. If that sounds like the forecast for the place you call home, the Brigeo Next Level Hair — Dry Hair Duo ($16) is a special treat for a loved one's stocking. Oh, and it also couples nicely with this wish-list worthy hair dryer, too.
