You’ve probably been hard at work planning, shopping, and baking tons of Christmas treats this season, and we’re here to tell you: you👏deserve👏a👏treat👏. The best way to do that? Get yourself a gift set. You’ll get more bang for your buck AND a chance to try out some goodies you might not normally purchase! So, without further ado, take a scroll through our picks for the best gift sets you should get before the holidays are over — there are options from all your favourite brands, like Knix, Mejuri, Vitruvi, Laneige, Jo Malone, and lots more.

One for home and one for on-the-go! It’s the ultimate lip care duo, comprising a sleeping mask for beating dryness while you’re snoozing and a tube of hydrating balm to protect your smoocher when you’re out and about. Reviewers report that neither formula is sticky or goopy and say they work better than any other balms or glosses they’ve tried in the past.

The holidays are the perfect time to indulge your sweet tooth, so tickle your tastebuds with something quintessentially Canadian: all-natural maple syrup. This award-winning set comes with three blends (extra rare, late harvest, and great harvest) so you can taste your mouth on a delectable flavour trip through the seasons. Reviewers say each one is more delicious than the last and say the packaging is stunning, too, so you could even consider gifting the set — but no one would blame you if you kept it all for yourself instead.
Mejuri
Why get one pair of stunning earrings when you could get two? This kit offers several styling options (in gold, silver, or as solo huggies) so you can change up your look in a flash.
Sephora Canada
Inside this cute gift set are five of the brand’s most iconic fragrances: Peony & Blush Suede, Lime Basil & Mandarin, Blackberry & Bay, Wood Sage & Sea Salt, and English Pear & Freesia. That gives you plenty of options and basically guarantees you’ll find a scent to love (not to mention each one comes in a cute travel-friendly bottle).
Obakki
A trio of single-origin facial oils sounds really great right about now, and we’re sure your skin will agree. You’ll get a bottle of macadamia, baobab, and prickly pear oils, each treating your face to softening, hydrating, and rejuvenating action. Pair them with your regular skincare to reap the benefits and protect your visage from harsh winter weather!

No one likes struggling with a particularly difficult cork, and now, you won’t have to. This high-tech kit comes with a powerful electric corkscrew that reviewers say is almost laughably easy to use. But the fun doesn’t stop there: you’ll also get a foil cutter, aerating pourer, wine stoppers, and an electric preserver that’ll suck the oxygen out of the bottle and keep your vino fresh for longer.
Sephora Canada
Winter weather is hard on your skin, so make sure you’re protected with this three-piece bundle. The combo of a barrier-boosting ceramide cleanser, moisturizing lipid cream, and a niacinamide serum will work in tandem to strengthen your skin — that way, it can defend itself against cold winds, harsh indoor heating, and other environmental factors that could leave your face feeling frazzled.

Hitting up the spa may not be in the cards, but you can bring the spa to you with this duo. Start by spritzing the eucalyptus-scented mood mist into the shower to fill your bathroom with its refreshing (and sinus-clearing) fragrance, then lather up with the matching body wash. If you want a double dose of chill vibes, I’d suggest misting your linens, too — then buckle up for the best sleep of your life.
Simons
This kit, which includes a sleek shoulder bag, matching wallet, and cute keychain, is perfect for holiday parties or everyday wear — dealer’s choice! If you often change up your look, you’ll love that the bag has both a removable chain handle and a shoulder strap so you can flip between day and night in a literal snap.
