Wrapped in Wonder: Sephora’s Holiday Gift Guide That Brings Joy Before It’s Even Opened

Every holiday season has its symbols—and few spark instant excitement like a Sephora striped bag. It’s the kind of gift that announces itself. Even before the unwrapping, it whispers: there’s something special inside. This year, Sephora invites you to celebrate that magical moment before the moment, where joy arrives early—and effortlessly.

Sephora’s Holiday Gift Sets return in full festive force, offering skincare gems, makeup icons, and scent favorites curated for every personality on your gifting list. And if you need help finding “the one”, the Sephora Gift Finder is your personal holiday elf—sorting gifts by category, price and recipient so choosing feels fun, not overwhelming.

Packed in a chic pouch and topped with three whimsical holiday pins, it’s a bundle designed to delight—whether you’re gifting a loved one or treating yourself.
