Mariah Carey’s vocal is sounding louder with each passing hour. But let us be honest — we are far from as modest as she is. All I want for Christmas is you? Nonsense. All I want for Christmas is something beautiful, preferably from the list below. Discover our picks, and brace yourself for the dilemma of deciding what to gift and what to keep for yourself.
Hair Care
Styling and hair care in Dubai can be a tricky business. Here is a pro tip: try La Biosthetique products to tame even the most rebellious frizz. You will thank us when the humidity strikes.

Instagram Wishlist
Well, well, well… here come the hottest products you have seen on your Instagram or TikTok feed countless times. Yet, they remain hits for a reason. Your bestie will be overjoyed with the minimalist Refy set or the festive Huda Beauty palette. Likes and love guaranteed.

Luxury Vibe
Very demure, very mindful. Treat those you love with a touch of luxury. Premium brands excel at packaging, so the joy begins even before the gift is opened. After all, it is not just about what is inside.

Happy Face
After surviving December, what we all truly need is some sleep and much self-care. If your New Year’s resolutions include implementing a morning routine, these mask sets are an excellent start. Bonus: they are unisex, so feel free to gift them to your boyfriend (and sneakily borrow them later).

Sustainable Choice
For the eco-conscious beauty lover, assemble a set from De L’Arta — a brand inspired by the earth and innovated by science. It is the perfect way to toast to glowing skin while keeping the planet in mind.

Body Care
“After all these years? Always.” That is exactly what I say when someone asks me about L’Occitane. Their products are deeply nourishing, smell divine, and somehow always feel like the ultimate gift. Timeless and foolproof.

Fragrances
I am not a fan of the one perfume for all occasions philosophy (though I have been known to fall hard for certain scents). That said, fragrance sets make wonderful gifts — especially Memo, in my case. But if you know a specific perfume is someone’s holy grail, do not hesitate to gift it. A bold choice is often a winning one.

Travel Essentials
Best paired with tickets to a high-end skiing resort or an ocean-view villa, but still delightful as a standalone present. Travel kits are perfect because let us face it — we all travel and can never quite trust the hotel hair conditioner.

Manicure Kits
An elegant manicure kit is a great present even for someone who has a standing mani appointment every other week. That said, I strongly suggest gifting these to the men in your life. My dad, for one, would be thrilled with such a practical and thoughtful gift.
