If you know someone who’s into makeup and skincare, but don’t know exactly what to get them for the holidays, a beauty gift set is a safe bet.

Limited edition beauty sets make great presents when you’re clueless about what to buy someone. They include several products, so your giftee is bound to like at least a few of them. They also come in a nice package, so you might not even have to wrap them.

You can also usually get a pretty great deal—sometimes, you can even get a few deluxe- or full-size items at a much lower price than usual.

If you know someone likes a particular brand, but don’t know which products they like, a gift set from that brand will likely contain at least something they’ll love. The really good sets fly off the shelves, though, so below are a few you might want to get the jump on while you can!

Sol de Janeiro Wild Extravaganza

Sol de Janeiro makes products that smell so deliciously tropical, anyone who uses them immediately feels like they’ve been transported to a sunny beach (even in the middle of winter).

The Wild Extravaganza Set contains some of the company’s best-selling products, including:

  • Brazilian Bum Bum Cream
  • Brazilian Crush Hair & Body Fragrance Mist
  • Brazilian 4 Play Moisturizing Shower Cream-Gel,
  • Brazilian Kiss Cupuaçu Lip Butter

Made with coconut oil, cupuaçu butter, and acai oil, the products are all incredibly moisturizing and creamy. The packaging also gives a nod to Brazilian culture. It’s inspired by the colors and costumes of Carnaval and the beauty, power, and grace of the animals in Brazil (hence, the name).

As part of this launch, the company will also make a donation to the Rainforest Action Network to help protect animals at risk in the firestorms in the Amazon rainforest.
