The Best Under-$20 Gifts To Snag From Sephora—Including Drunk Elephant, Fresh, Caudalie, and More

Let’s be honest: All of us have been personally victimized by the checkout goodies at Sephora. While that section of the store can send you over your beauty budget for the majority of the year, it turns into a secret treasure trove for frugal presents before the New Year. So, this holiday season, we rounded up the most affordable gifts from Sephora (all of which ring up, drum roll, please, under $20).

Below, you’ll find everything from SPF to nail art to exfoliating lip polishes. There’s something for every beauty lover on your list, so grab your naughty and nice list (or, okay, just your list of friends), and let’s get online shopping.

Caudalie Mini Beauty Elixir Face Mist — $18.00

DevaCurl DEVATOWEL Anti-Frizz Microfiber Towel — $20.00

Hair towels fight frizz and damage, and help your hair dry faster. So if you have a friend who loves to air dry, this is a great gift to help them keep their hair healthy (and optimize their towel time).

Drunk Elephant Baby Pekee Bar + Juju Bar Travel Duo — $16.00

A Drunk Elephant gift is always a good gift—but this one will be a dream for the globe-trotters in your life. This duo of soaps will allow them to travel sans-face wash and still exfoliate and moisturize their complexion.
