What if you could give someone the gift of great hair days, every day?
That’s where a carefully curated beauty gift basket comes in.
It’s the perfect way to show your appreciation for your loved ones, while giving them products they’ll actually use and love.
It’s basically a self care day in a box!
Whether it’s for a birthday, Christmas, or just because, these baskets are amazing gifts for the women in your life!
Most of the gift items here are hair care related, but there are a few other beauty products that would be awesome for her next self care Sunday.
And if I say so myself, I have been told on multiple occasions that I’m a great gift giver – so I think these are all pretty awesome ideas!!
These 3 gift baskets are perfect for your girly, pink-obsessed friend, your friend with Black Cat energy, and of course, That Girl. Check out the holiday gift guide below!
The Girly Gift Basket
This first set of items is perfect for your super feminine friend.
You know, the one who’s always wearing pink, never leaves the house without glossed lips, and still loves Gossip Girl all these years later (same here).
Imagine how excited she’ll be to get these to add to her beauty routine!
Noughty Hair Towel
Soft microfiber hair towels are much more gentle on the hair than regular towels, and help prevent friction and breakage on wash day.
Kitsch Satin Sleep Scrunchies
Perfect for protective sleep hairstyles, these satin scrunchies prevent damage and friction to keep hair healthy.
Batiste Blush Dry Shampoo
This bright pink bottle will look pretty on her vanity, and it’s the perfect product to get rid of greasy roots ASAP! It comes in a cute mini size bottle too!
Brushworks Massaging Shampoo Brush
Scalp massage is an amazing way to boost healthy hair growth, and this tool does just that! It can be used with shampoo, or out of the shower with a scalp oil.
Wander Beauty Rose Gold Eye Masks
These glamorous looking undereye masks contain ingredients like aloe, peptides and amino acids to brighten and de-puff.
NUXE Huile Prodigieuse Shimmering Multi-Purpose Dry Oil
This is a lightweight oil that can be used on the face, body or hair! If she loves to glow, this luxurious oil is for her.
WetBrush Mini Detangler Brush
A cute mini version of this fun hot pink Wetbrush (which is the exact one I have). It’s my absolute favorite detangling brush. It’s made with super flexible bristles that glide through your hair, so you can easily release tangles without causing breakage and friction.
NOTE: You can always mix and match the items from each of these lists! If your friend loves pink girly things AND dark red nails, go ahead and choose the items that most fit her interests.
Dark Feminine Gift Ideas
You’re going to give this gift box to your ‘Black Cat’ friend.
She loves wearing dark nail polish, and is mysterious and guarded, but once you get to know her, you get to see her fun side!
Gift her some products that will keep her long hair super glossy and full of volume, and some other fun treats for a solo self care day.
Essie Nail Polish in Bordeaux
She’ll wear this all year round of course, but this high shine polish is especially fantastic for winter and fall nail looks.
Revolution Haircare Bow Velvet Clip
This bow + a half up hairstyle = perfection.
Grow Gorgeous Scalp Massage Tool
A scalp massager in black (obviously), which will stimulate the scalp to promote hair growth and gently exfoliate the scalp.
Grow Gorgeous Thickening Hair & Scalp Mask Mini
This travel size hair thickening mask helps to give flat hair body and volume, while adding shine and smoothness.
Moroccanoil High Shine Gloss Mask – Clear
Glass hair, anyone? This is a clear mask that gives hair a high-shine look. This one is the mini, and it’s also available in a full size 200ml bottle.
Skin Gym Gold Foil Eye Masks
These gold patches are formulated with bakuchiol, CoQ10 and hyaluronic acid to improve tired looking under eyes, and deeply hydrate the skin. They also come in singles if you want to gift just one for her to try out.
Oribe Grandiose Hair Plumping Mousse Mini
This mousse conditions and nourishes hair while giving volume. It won’t weigh hair down, and it adds softness. The mini is great to take traveling, and it comes in a full size bottle too.

Combine these hair care gift basket ideas with a gift card for her favorite coffee place, or some organic snack bars for her to have after a workout class!
Kitsch Gold Open Shape Claw Clip
This is terrific for her claw clip hairstyles. The gold is really pretty, and gives a chic minimalist vibe.

This balm is multi-purpose, so it can be used not just on the lips but on dry heels, cuticles, elbows…basically anywhere! Super handy to keep in a bag on the go.
BEAUTYPRO Retinol Under Eye Patches
Along with retinol, these eye patches have vitamin C to brighten and make the under eyes look totally refreshed.

That Girl already does gua sha in her nightly skincare routine, with this she can do scalp gua sha too! This helps boost blood flow to the scalp to promote hair growth, plus it’s super relaxing.
Mermade Hair Mini Hair Styling Wax Stick
Awesome for slicked back hairstyles, this styling stick keeps flyaways from popping up, and hairstyles looking sleek. This one’s the mini size so she can easily keep it in her purse or gym bag.
Myvitamins Collagen Beauty Shot
Collagen is amazing for the skin, hair and joints. I’ve been taking it for a long time and it’s really boosted my hair growth and made my skin glow. Your wellness-loving friend will adore this!
Olaplex No.3 Holiday Ornament Hair Perfector Mini
You know it, you love it. It’s the super popular hair treatment that strengthens and repairs damaged hair. This one in the ornament is a mini size that would last her a few uses. Get your bestie the bigger bottle if you want to really treat her!

What Makes a Perfect Gift Basket
Gift your gift box a theme:
Creating a themed gift basket makes it feel personal to the one who’s receiving it! With all of the products specifically chosen to match her vibe, she’ll feel super special.
Add personal touches:
Include a handwritten note, and some small non-beauty related items like chocolates or a candle in her favorite scent.
Make it aesthetic:
Get a pretty basket or box to put everything in, and arrange the items nicely, surrounded with things like tissue paper, bows or even confetti.
Consider her hair type:
Gift her items that fit with her hair type. For example, if she’s got dry hair that doesn’t really get greasy, substitute the dry shampoo for a moisturizing mask.
