Gift Idea: ghd, 1-2-3

Because I work for Sephora, my friends and family (eagerly) expect bags full of beauty when the holidays hit. So, in an attempt to infuse my gift giving strategy with a little creativity and surprise, I've been trolling for pretty presents that allow for a personal spin or two. Here's my latest idea, should you want to borrow it. Start with one of our most lust-worthy items of the season—ghd's Holiday Glamour Styling Set. (Tangent: If you haven't already tried ghd's stylers, they're a-ma-zing. Good "for-me-from-me" gift!) Throw the mini bottles of Creation Spray Thermal Protector in your giftee's stocking, or use them as Secret Santa teasers. Fill the larger clutch with going-out essentials, like gum, the cute, rhinestone-studded compact mirror included, and Sephora's lip gloss cocktail ring. (This is free when you order the ghd set. Enter promo code RING at checkout.) Lastly, wrap the styler with the how-to dvd, using the adorable gold cosmetics pouch as a topper to put the "to" tag in. Suddenly, you're giving them multiple gifts, each one more glamorous than the next. That's the beauty of giving sets! —Mari Tzikas, Sephora
