We know it’s hard to find the right gifts for your loved ones, so we’ve compiled a ton of fashion and beauty-focused gift guides tailored to a range of interests and budgets. Check out our latest below and find more right here.
Gen Alpha has officially grabbed the beauty world’s attention. By now, we’ve all seen the headlines about “Sephora kids” and TikTok tweens stocking their beginner beauty stashes with high-end creams and serums that soon become skin-care smoothies (a.k.a. mixing multiple skin-care products into personalized concoctions). Though the beauty market may be overflowing with anti-aging products and strong active ingredients, scoring a Gen Alpha-approved beauty gift doesn’t have to be a struggle — or pose the potential for damage to their skin.
Given that the oldest Gen Alpha is about 14 years old (and thus not exactly in need of retinoids just yet), we’ve curated a list of hydration-first and widely-applicable skin-care and makeup products sure to impress the newest class of beauty influencers. From skin-care sets offering a full giftable routine, to lip care decorated with key chains, to salted caramel-scented hand sanitizer, there’s a treat for every Gen Alpha in your life.
Below, we’ve rounded up 12 beauty gifts — all under $40 — that are likely to line the top of any Gen Alpha’s wishlist.
