Dawn Siler: Editor’s Picks: 32 of the Best Beauty Stocking Stuffer Ideas Under $20

I might be slightly biased, but I think beauty products make the best stocking stuffers.

They're small, they're cute, and they're very affordable—at least, if you shop the ones on this list!

I've done the digging to find you the perfect skincare, makeup and haircare treats, each ringing in at under $20 (US).

Whether or not you're actually stuffing a stocking, these are ideal gifts for anyone sticking to a budget (or if you just want to treat yourself!).

Check out this year's best beauty stocking stuffers below.

Shiseido Facial Cotton

Shiseido Facial Cotton is a set of 165 cotton pads—and trust me, once you try these, you'll never go back to the drugstore kind. The high-quality cotton absorbs just the right amount of product, feels super soft, and never leaves lint behind on your face!

Kerzon Hand Cleansing Spray

Kerzon Hand Cleansing Spray takes hand sanitizer to the next level. It emits a non-sticky spray that doesn't require rinsing, and best of all, leaves your hands with a fresh, clean scent.

Sephora Collection Cooling Eye Mask

Sephora Collection Cooling Eye Mask is a glitter-filled gel mask that helps to soothe puffy eyes and take down inflammation. All you do is pop it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

Buxom Powerplump Lip Balm

The Inkey List Caffeine

The Inkey List Caffeine is an affordable eye serum that harnesses the anti-inflammatory benefits of caffeine. As such, it may help to reduce puffiness, while also delivering lightweight moisture.

Pursoma Minerals de Mer Body Soak

Pursoma Minerals de Mer Body Soak is a detoxifying bath soak with French sea salt, kelp and green algae. Besides relaxation, it also encourages the elimination of toxins through perspiration. Post-soak, you're meant to sweat it out while resting under a warm blanket for up to 30 minutes. Then you'll sleep like a baby!
