What celebrities give each for the holidays

 

Hmm, what do celebrities gift one another? They’ve got access to oodles of cash so probably a lot more than we average folks get. We got the skinny though. Here’s a sampling of beauty products that mere earthlings may want to consider with some example celebrity fans:

Erno Laszlo pHormula 3-9 Collection Set (Rooney Mara for sister Kate): Spoil someone with the gift of luminous skin. The set features two new products (Cream and Serum) that build upon the healing power of the hero 3-9 Balm. The formulations honor the heritage of 3-9, made famous by the all-star cast of celebrities using the brand throughout the years (pHormula 3-8 was made specifically for Marilyn Monroe.). $325 exclusively at Saks

Ralph Lauren Fragrances The Big Pony Collection “Create Your Own” Bottles for Men & Women ( Keke Palmer and Lucy Hale – for their boyfriends, friends, siblings): Choosing the perfect holiday gift can be tricky, especially when it comes to fragrance. This holiday, Ralph Lauren has customizable bottles for a more personal experience. Choose from a series of four unique scents designed to complement specific personas and then personalize the bottle. The “Create Your Own” option is complimentary with any purchase of The Big Pony Collection Fragrance for Men or Women. With a 10-character limit, consumers can engrave a full name, simple monogram of short message onto the glass bottle that best embodies the recipient’s personal style. 70 for a 3.4oz./100ml bottle (Women) or $67.50 for a 4.2oz./125 ml bottle (Men), Available exclusively at RalphLauren.com.

Caswell-Massey Pure Frost Wrapped Soaps Gift Set ( Maria Menounos to other celebs at holiday parties): The three-bar Pure Frost soap collection captures the winter season with beautiful hand-wrapped soaps, each with a different winter botanical image. Bonus: They’re housed in a winter wonderland-like sky blue box with inter botanical detailing. $28, at CaswellMassey.com

El emis Spa@Home Japanese Camellia Oil (V ictoria Beckham likes this for her mommy and pregnant friends): A longtime Japanese beauty secret for healthy nails, hair and scalp, this nourishing light oil is rich in plant collagen and easily absorbed, leaving the skin moisturized and supple while helping combat stretch marks. $45, available at TimetoSpa.com.

LUXHAIR NOW Collection by Sherri Shepherd (what the TV personality gives to all of her friends): This 12-piece hair collection consists of a variety of wig and extension styles that range from short and sassy, long and sexy to curly and fierce. Grab and go is right. $69-$99, available at Wigs.com.

Dr. Brandt’s Take the Doctor Home With You Holiday Gift Set ( Madonna loves this high wattage dermatologist): Get your credit cards (or cash) primed for Black Friday. You can nab 50 percent off on Miami’s own youth maker. This favorite is 50 percent off at just $74 at drbrandtskincare.com
