I'm a Celebrity Nail Tech — Here's What I'm Gifting This Season

KISS Salon X-tend Soft Gel LED Nail System ($23)

Know any nail lovers who want professional-looking gel nails, but are too busy to make it to the salon? A game-changing gift, these long-lasting nails apply in less time than your traditional gel nails, and come in a variety of styles to elevate anyone's look this holiday season. They're also amazing to keep on hand (wink, wink) for last-minute manicures before an event.

Red Light Therapy Device For Hands ($40)

These mittens offer an innovative way to pamper yourself or a loved one. The red light therapy promotes healthy skin rejuvenation by stimulating collagen production, reducing fine lines, and improving overall skin tone. It also soothes stiff and painful joints — perfect for grandparents, a musician, or a frequent typer.

Serum Doctor Flawless Feet System ($56)

This festive green gift set provides an instant, one-two punch of a pedicure: Gently slough away rough calluses with the double-sided file, then apply the targeted foot serum. Laced with malic acid to exfoliate, plus aloe and lavender oil to hydrate and soothe, your feet will emerge feeling like butter. Friends who spend their days in heels, dads with running habits — anyone too busy to make it to the salon will love the convenient at-home pedicure.

Clinique Merry Moisture Skincare Set ($20)

Who doesn't need a moisture boost during the winter months? This gift box boasts two of Clinique's best-selling hydrators: a long-lasting face moisturizer and puffiness-reducing eye cream. I switched out my Aquaphor for this little gem, tapping it around my eye area a few times a week. While it broadly appeals to just about anyone with skin, it also makes a touching present for an avid reader, or the friend you count on to cry alongside during Netflix binges.

Dior Nail Glow ($32)

People can be picky about colored polish, but this clear polish is a crowd pleaser. The Dior Nail Glow highlights your nail beds with a chic frosty finish, and it's become a staple in my nail kit and at home. The formula enhances the natural pink of the nail bed with a rosy glow in just one coat, an ideal gift for someone who appreciates subtle glamour.

Hand Mask Milk Honey Peel ($10)

An easy way to luxuriate at home, this hand and foot peel is loaded with honey and hyaluronic acid. Apply it in a thin layer and wait about 20 minutes before peeling it off to reveal brighter, softer skin. The salon-like experience is sure to tickle the friend or colleague who savors their skin-care routine.

Najah Hair Growth Serum ($10)

Formulated to nourish the scalp and promote hair growth, this oil provides therapeutic and antibacterial properties beneficial from head to toe. I've incorporated it into Venus Williams' pedicure service, and it serves as an excellent stocking stuffer for athletes or anyone with tired feet. Enriched with natural ingredients like castor, peppermint, jojoba, and tea tree oils, it doubles as the perfect pedicure oil to massage away aches and scrapes.

Typology Paris L93 Hand & Nail Serum ($30)

Dry, undernourished nail beds? This unexpected treat helps nail beds thrive with plant-based keratin and hyaluronic acid. Apply on your nail beds and follow up with your favorite hand moisturizer twice a day for best results. It's ideal for a friend who recently removed their nail enhancements, a vegan cousin, or a Francophile.

Paume Renewing Hand Serum ($42)

Younger, smoother texture is one step away: this sustainably-packaged serum rejuvenates and targets dark spots, dryness, and environmental damage on the hands. Brimming with vitamin C, bakuchiol, and plant-based emollients, it provides visible brightening and a plumper texture. Gift it to a friend or relative who loves a clean formula and deserves a thorough hand makeover — bonus points if they work with their hands.
