As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.

So, you're making a list and checking it twice, but all of a sudden you realise just how many people you need to be getting something for . . . and you freeze. Well, consider us your saviour this season with these 35 beauty gift ideas from Sephora for anyone on your list. Bonus: the presents also come without a big spend — nothing's over $25.

Maybe you don't want to be caught off guard when your coworker shows up at your desk with a gift again this year, or you want forever bragging rights as the number one pick at your office white elephant party. These $25-or-less Sephora gifting ideas also make great stocking stuffers for beauty lovers of any age, from a hard-to-impress teen to a new partner's mom. Of course there's a little something for your beauty-loving BFF who could already teach a masterclass in makeup, and for any pal that could use a little pick-me-up this time of year. There's even a set for that person in your life who may still be using the same bar of soap for everything.

Plus, if your family is travelling far for the holidays, there are frequent-flier-friendly ideas to take your loved ones straight through to New Year's Eve. We can all cheers to that.
