Beauty gifts are the most covetable (and fun) gifts to receive under the tree. A new skincare device to explore? A new makeup brand to discover? Facemasks and serums to appreciate? We’re excited just thinking about it. The best beauty gifts, however, are equal parts fun and functional. They’re meant to be a treat that your recipient might not buy for themselves, but will still appreciate. What’s more, gift sets make shopping for giftable beauty products a breeze. The trial-size portions and multiple products ensure that your recipient won’t be stuck with a full-size serum they hate, and can test new products with ease.

Whether you’re shopping for your skincare-obsessed sister or looking for an envy-worthy white elephant gift, Target is the best one-stop shop for all your beauty gifting needs. Plus, Target’s collaboration with Ulta means there are lots of options to choose from. We pulled the best products, gift sets, and more under $50 so you can find budget-friendly gifts for all recipients. From colorful eyeshadow palettes to skincare gift sets, shop the best beauty gifts under $50 at Target, below.
