14 Christmas Gifts To Get From Ulta This Year

This year more than other years it seems like the holiday sales and deals started earlier. That means more time to whittle down your gift list and more opportunities to save while doing it. One of my favorite places to gift shop is Ulta. Not only can I find great gifts there across several different price points but I can also find a few things for myself as well.

This year Ulta has several great gift sets and individual items that will make the receivers of your gifts very happy. When it comes to gift sets they come in a wide variety. They can be limited edition or value sets. And they typically come in pretty packaging. So you don’t always need to spend a lot of time wrapping them.

Here are my 14 top picks, all of them are $25 or less. Oh, and I threw in a few gifts for the guys as well.

10. Flawless by Finishing Touch Flawless Ice Roller: I've never used a face roller but looking at Instagram they seem to be pretty popular. This particular roller says it "can be used to reduce the appearance of pores and can help lead your skin to a refreshed, youthful, glowing complexion." It also says it can be used to help massage and reduce inflammation in other areas of the body. 

11. Burt's Bees Kissable Color Gift Set: At first I thought these were lip balms but they're lip tints so they add a hint of color to your lips while also moisturizing them. So they can be layered over lipstick or worn solo. There is a warm collection and a cool collection.

The cool collection has

• Watermelon Lip Shimmer
• Apricot Lip Shimmer
• Grapefruit Lip Shimmer

The warm collection has 

• Peony Lip Shimmer
• Fig Lip Shimmer
• Rhubarb Lip Shimmer
