As you begin to wind down your holiday shopping list, you may be coming across a few friends and family members who have you stumped. Shopping for groups of friends can be tough, especially if you're working within a budget. Growing up, I had a very close circle of friends who would always exchange gifts with one another. I always found it challenging to find one gift that worked well for each girlfriend, which is why I always wound up hacking the gift set. This is the easiest and best solution to gifting! With gift sets offering an array of shades, colors, and scents, each friend receives products that work well for them.  

Target’s beauty aisle is always stocked with a wide variety of different skincare and beauty sets, and, as I passed by, I couldn’t help picking up a few to divide and gift to my friends. In the past I’ve wrapped gifts in individual bags or wrapped them in tissue paper, but this year I thought it would be fun to use cosmetic bags to hold the products. I mean who doesn’t love a gift within a gift. These Sonia Kashuk beauty organizers come in bold prints and colors, and are the perfect size to toss into a work or school bag. I started with a holiday skincare set from Pacifica, I liked that it hard an array of products including a face and night creme and my personal favourite, the Coconut Water Cleansing Wipes! To keep with the holiday spirit, I also picked up a few of the Essie ornament polishes. The packaging is so cute and fits perfectly in the cosmetic bag

Gifting for one? You could easily assemble these gifts with any of Target’s holiday offerings. If your friend is a big beauty fan you could also purchase a set of brushes and gift them in a festive mug. Wrap with a clear cellophane and ribbon for a cute holiday presentation.
