If there is one time of year when a ridiculously good beauty set is entirely justified, it is Christmas.
Elizabeth Arden has officially unwrapped its 2026 festive collection, with 30 gift sets covering skincare, makeup and fragrance. There are presents for the skincare-obsessed, little luxuries for Secret Santa and, importantly, several options we’d happily buy for ourselves and pretend were intended as gifts.
The star of the collection is undoubtedly the Unwrap Your Beauty Holiday Collection. The 12-piece set is valued at a whopping $626 but retails for $169 with any Elizabeth Arden purchase over $99. Inside are five full-size products plus a lineup of skincare and makeup favourites, including Retinol + HPR Ceramide Capsules and Water Cream, Eight Hour Lip Protectant and Flawless Start Instant Perfecting Primer.
For those who take their skincare routine seriously, Elizabeth Arden offers plenty of options across its PREVAGE, Ceramide, and Retinol + HPR Ceramide ranges. The $99 Retinol Reset Duo is particularly giftable, pairing a full-size Retinol + HPR Ceramide Capsules serum with the matching Water Cream and offering $153 worth of product.
Eight Hour fans are also extremely well catered for. The $60 Lip Tint Duo comes with the iconic Lip Protectant Stick in sheer Plum and Honey shades, while the $67 Nourishing Skin Essentials set brings together the classic Skin Protectant, Lip Protectant and Intensive Moisturising Hand Treatment.
There are also some very cute stocking-friendly options. The Party Ready Cracker packs primer and mascara into festive cracker packaging, while the White Tea Little Luxuries Cracker includes a 30ml Eau de Parfum and matching 30ml Hand Cream.
With prices starting from $55, there is plenty of room to go from a small beauty treat to a seriously impressive present.
The Elizabeth Arden Christmas Gift Sets 2026 are available now at Farmers, Life Pharmacy and other retailers nationwide.
