All my favorite holiday memories start at the mall. I can still remember the smell of wandering through the department-store perfume aisles searching for the perfect sweet, floral scent to gift my mom. I'll always love the feeling of browsing holiday-decorated stores, but sadly, it's challenging to find the time these days. Luckily, JCPenney's online selection brings the spirit of seasonal shopping right to my home. The beauty finds are especially top-tier—from must-have makeup to hot tools to cute perfume sets, they even meet this picky editor's very high gifting standards. Get ready: Editor-approved beauty picks from JCPenney are just a scroll away.
Perfume and Candle Gifts
You can't go wrong with gifting a scent. Every time they apply the sweet-smelling perfume you got them, they'll think of you. Also, a candle is a great gift, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Skincare and Haircare Gifts
A skincare set is the perfect gift for any beauty lover, allowing them to try brands and formulas before committing to the full-size product. JCPenney is also having a great sale on hair tools, which are always a hot-ticket item during the holiday season.
Makeup Gifts
You can never have too much makeup. Plus, some of the gift sets below can be hung from your Christmas tree as faux ornaments—how cute is that?
