Sephora and Ulta are a breeding ground for stocking stuffers and secret Santa gift ideas. I combed through thousands of new beauty and skincare products to find the best lip treatments, hair tools and accessories, hand creams, face masks, and gift sets that you can gift this winter holiday season. Shopping on a budget? Most of these items fall under $30.
