Allure Magazine (Kai Products & Xela Aromasticks)
With so many celebrity sightings, this upscale beauty emporium should have a velvet rope.
Best gift for your mother, sister, or friend: Cheaper than a trip to Tahiti, Kai’s gardenia-scented Body Polish ($32), Body Wash ($30), and Twilights votive candles ($38 for four) turn a tub into an island paradise.
Best gift for your father, husband, or boyfriend: Xela_Aromasticks ($35 for small) in Woods freshens the bathroom with amber, sandalwood, cedar, and musk. (He’ll also love that it’s low-maintenance: The bamboo reeds clear the air for six months.)
Best gift for yourself: The Jingle Bell cosmetic bag from Pout ($22) is pretty in pink and burgundy leather. Stuff it with Pout Lip Palette in Tie Me Up ($30), four flattering plumb colors.
Bestseller: Sonya Dakar Mini-Kit for Sensitive Skin ($28.50) is a travel-size sampler to soothe even the most easily irritated types, including a wash, exfoliator, moisturizer, and clay mask.
