No matter the skincare needs of your holiday gift recipients, we have an item for each of them! We've rounded up some of our favorite skincare offerings for the holiday season, from seasonal-inspired indulgences to travel-ready sets. The challenge will be deciding which items to give away and which to keep for yourself!

Cold weather is no excuse for skipping out on sexy, silky skin! Repechage knows this, offering up a holiday set of two best-sellers: Vita Cura Triple Action Body Souffle, and Vita Cura Triple Action Nutri Creme. Aromas of vanilla and rooibos tea infuse the products with a decadent feeling, while natural ingredients like seaweed and coconut oil promise to nourish dry winter skin.

Pevonia boasts a huge holiday gift collection this year -- perfect for retailing purposes, or of course, gifting your loved ones. One of our favorite holiday-ready treats?
