Gen-Zers (those born between 1997 and 2012) are probably the easiest group to find gifts for this Christmas, as they will pretty much be happy with anything that's trending on TikTok. For those that can't face scrolling the social media platform in search of the perfect present, I've rounded up some of the best gifts on offer this year. You're welcome.
Fenty Beauty | Glossy Posse Volume 6.0 Gloss Bomb Trio
My first recommendation is a gift for the lipgloss lovers. It is the Fenty Beauty Glossy Posse Volume 6.0 Gloss Bomb Trio (£34 Harvey Nichols), a set of three different lip formulas guaranteed to deliver seriously juicy lips.The first product in the trio is the Gloss Bomb Cream Color Drip Lip in Fenty Glow. Formulated with vitamin A to nourish lips, this medium to full-coverage colour provides brilliant shine with a non-sticky feel and light peach-vanilla scent.
Next up is Gloss Bomb Heat in Glass Slipper Heat. It is formulated with Plump Job Complex, an innovative blend of ingredients - including ginger root oil and capsicum fruit extract (pepper) - to gently titillate and plump the lips. Conditioning shea butter and vitamin E are also included to help lock-in moisture. The comfortable and nourishing gloss boasts a beautifully smooth texture with a hint of tint.
The final product in the trio is the Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer in Pink Dragonfly. It is formulated with conditioning shea butter and provides a sheer wash of colour with an incredible shimmer finish. Its non-sticky formula is super shiny and delivers a lovely peach-vanilla scent.
Another great gift for any glam girl is an eyeshadow palette. No one does eyeshadow palettes quite like Too Faced, and the brand's new Maple Syrup Pancakes Eyeshadow Palette (£48 lookfantastic.com) is no exception.
Hair-obsessed girls who long for glossy locks will love the Philip Kingsley Megawatt Shine gift set (£38 beautybay.com).
Sol de Janeiro | Bum Bum Body Obsession
For the body care loving babes, you can't go wrong with the Bum Bum Body Obsession set from Sol de Janeiro, a Gen-Z favourite.
The Bum Bum Body Firmeza Oil is a firming, non-greasy body oil that provides deep nourishment and reduces feelings of puffiness. The Bum Bum Body Scrub is an ultra-fine body scrub and spa-worthy treatment that gently exfoliates and nourishes the body with a microbead-free blend. The Brazilian 4 Play Body Gel Wash is a lathering wash infused with naturally powerful ingredients from the Amazon, including a blend of nourishing cupuaçu butter, skin-conditioning coconut oil, and the antioxidant superpower of açaí. The Brazilian Bum Bum Cream – Sol de Janeiro’s most iconic offering, visibly smooths and tightens the skin's appearance thanks to potent, caffeine-rich guaraná and fast-absorbing cupuaçu butter. Finally, the Cheirosa 62 Perfume Mist provides the delicious notes of pistachio, salted caramel, and vanilla to leave you smelling gorgeous in seconds.
MAGNITONE London | BareFaced 3 Vibra-Sonic Brush
Another great beauty gift is the MAGNITONE London BareFaced 3 Vibra-Sonic Brush (£89.99 lookfantastic.com). It is a skincare device designed to cleanse and massage the skin, elevating one of the most important steps in any skincare routine: cleansing.
If you’re looking for a more affordable skincare gift, I recommend the Garnier Ultimate Mask Trio (£13 Tesco).
This nourishing gift set contains a mask for the face, eye contours, and hair. Included is the Garnier Moisture Bomb Pomegranate Hydrating Mask, Banana & Shea 3-in-1 Hair Mask, and Moisture Bomb Hyaluronic Acid & Orange Juice Eye Sheet Mask.

Enriched with natural plant extracts and hyaluronic acid, the vegan tissue mask plumps skin with moisture, reduces the look of fine lines, and revives radiance for skin that glows. The Ultimate Blends Banana Hair Food Hair Mask is a 3-in-1 intensive hair treatment that can be used in 3 different ways - as a conditioner, as a rinse-out hair mask, and as a leave-in conditioner. The vegan formula is made with 98% natural origin ingredients, including the ultra-moisturising banana and shea. Finally, the Moisture Bomb Hyaluronic Acid & Orange Juice Eye Sheet Mask is a super brightening and refreshing eye sheet mask designed to treat tired and dull eye contours. Enriched with natural plant extracts, orange juice, and hyaluronic acid, this ultra-thin tissue mask leaves the eye area looking brighter, more refreshed, and more awake.
MULGER | Angel
For the fragrance fans, Mugler's iconic Angel will make for the perfect present. This globally loved amber vanilla scent first launched in 1992 and was the creation of master perfumers Olivier Cresp and Yves de Chirin.
Angel (£92 The Perfume Shop) features top notes of cotton candy, coconut, cassis, melon, jasmine, bergamot, pineapple, and mandarin orange, middle notes of honey, red berries, blackberry, plum, apricot, jasmine, peach, orchid, nutmeg, caraway, rose, and lily-of-the-valley, and base notes of patchouli, chocolate, caramel, vanilla, tonka bean, amber, musk, and sandalwood.

It is formulated with Plump Job Complex, an innovative blend of ingredients - including ginger root oil and capsicum fruit extract (pepper) - to gently titillate and plump the lips.

Packed with warm, maple syrup pancake-scented shadows, the Maple Syrup Pancakes Eyeshadow Palette delivers a number of gorgeous daytime and nighttime looks. It features 18 gorgeous limited-edition shades ranging from buttery mattes to sizzling rich metallics, all of which are highly pigmented, easily blendable, and have great lasting power.
Lisa Jewell | None of This is True
For the crime junkies, I recommend gifting Lisa Jewell’s latest book None of This is True (£14 WHSmith).
None of This is True begins with podcaster Alix Summer celebrating her 45th birthday at her local pub. That night, Alix crosses paths with an unassuming woman called Josie Fair. Josie is also celebrating her 45th too. A few days later, they bump into each other again, this time outside Alix's children's school. Josie says she thinks she would be an interesting subject for Alix's podcast. She is, she tells Alix, on the cusp of great changes in her life.
Alix agrees to a trial interview and indeed, Josie's life appears to be strange and complicated. Aix finds her unsettling but can't quite resist the temptation to keep digging. Slowly Alix starts to realise that Josie has been hiding some very dark secrets, and before she knows it Josie has cajoled her way into Alix's life - and into her home.
None of This is True is the perfect book to get any girl through the cold and boring January nights.

The Positive Planner
For the wellbeing girls that celebrate self-care, I recommend gifting the Positive Planner, a 12-week journal that focuses around self-care, gratitude, and daily positivity.
The Positive Planner (£22 Oliver Bonas) was created to encourage people to make journaling and mindfulness an everyday practice. The planner features sections dedicated to daily intentions and reflections, as well as a mood checker and lots of useful tools designed to enhance positivity and manage your wellbeing. It is also still very much a planner, and features everyday organisational extras such as meal planners, shopping lists, and monthly diary spreads. This is the perfect gift for girls that want to get organised, get productive, and - most importantly - get positive.
Abbott Lyon | Custom Name Bracelet
My final gift recommendation comes from Gen-Z favourite, Abbott Lyon.
It is the brand's Custom Name Bracelet (from £79 abbottlyon.com), the perfect gift for girls that like to get personal. Available in gold, rose gold, and silver, this affordable bracelet can be customised with up to eight letters and three chain styles. There is also the option to add one or two charms, as well as purchase a half price layering chain.
