After several years of falling in love with the brands and products we meticulously curate, we still feel a tinge of jealousy seeing MECCA bags sprawled across cracker-and-bauble-laden tables in the Instagram Stories coverage of friends’ work holiday parties. It's almost too easy to find little luxuries that come in under budget, but feel like so much more (artful Karen Black-emblazoned bag and a flurry of tissue paper intact).
These beauty gifts under $25 will leave your lucky recipient surprised, delighted and convinced you blew the budget (and us, wishing I were on the receiving end).




Patchology Moodmask Exfoliate Mate Gentle Exfoliating Peel Sheet Mask & Get Dewy With It Mega Moisture Sheet Mask
It’s a rite of passage that if you walk into a MECCA store during the holiday season, you’ll walk out with a stack of Patchology masks in hand. Whether it’s a stocking stuffer, a last minute KK gift or a little something extra, they make perfect gifts for everyone.
And at $8 each, you’ll be able to wrap up three and still come under the $25 limit! We'd pick the Gentle Exfoliating mask to brighten and two Get Dewy With It masks to hydrate, because who doesn’t want to glow like no tomorrow?


We will continue to harp on about how great a gift SPF is because there’s simply nothing chic about sun damage. Once they crack this open, they’ll find a pocket-sized version of MECCA COSMETICA’s bestselling facial SPF: a formula that feels more like skincare than sunscreen.
ALWAYS READ THE LABEL AND FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE. Sunscreen is only one form of sun protection. Avoid prolonged sun exposure and reapply as directed.
