Elizabeth Arden makes some great skin care items. I particularly recommend the Prevage line. Elizabeth Arden cosmetics are also always good quality, and they have some nice fragrance sets as well. Below is a selection of good holiday gifts from various Elizabeth Arden lines.

Harajuku Lovers, Gwen Stephani’s fragrance line, is not specifically holiday oriented, but the items from it make darn good gifts, so I am including them on the Holiday Makeup site.  Also note the snow bunny collections, which is obviously winter oriented.

The initial links below are to Fragrance Emporium because they had the best deal on the line when I was putting this together. After that, there are links to Sephora, which had the most selection in terms of bags, gift sets, and the Harajuku perfume solids, which are terribly cute by the way, I had to drag myself away from them the last time that I was in Sephora.

Philosophy has many great gift sets and specialty bath and body items not just for the Christmas and winter holidays, but for other occasions as well.  They are particularly known for their interesting and fragrant shower gels, various skin care items, and their Amazing Grace Fragrance.  Personally, I love the Philosophy lip glosses!

The Guerlain Holiday Collection features beautiful cases and shimmering powders for a pretty effect. Be sure to also check out the Shalimar limited edition Bird of Paradise (Oiseau de Paradis) fragrance!
