Beauty brands truly outdid themselves this year when it came to gift-worthy holiday offerings.

Including an exfoliator that doesn't irritate, a lymphatic drainage tool that has several beauty editors (and our beauty director) hooked and a peppy nail polish color perfect for the dog days of summer.

From sweatsuits and cozy basics to "the best lotion I've put on my body."

Including a whole host of lotions and creams keeping us moisturized, head-to-toe, as winter approaches.

Featuring a calming perfume oil, a CBD-spiked cream that's the stuff of relaxation dreams and more.
