How many times have you sighed at your screen with “Ugh, it won’t get here in time,” stressed with “But will they actually use this?” or surrendered with a “Guess I’ll just add a gift receipt”? Holiday shopping is magical, but let’s be honest, it can also be a little chaotic. Finding the perfect present (that also arrives on time!) often feels like a miracle.

Enter IPSY Original and Extra subscription gifts, the kind of holiday magic that will make you look like you’ve been planning for months…even if you bought it from your couch five minutes ago. These gifts check every box on your nice list: unique, thoughtful, festive, convenient, and ridiculously easy. Forgot your Secret Santa exchange is tomorrow? You can send an IPSY subscription in minutes. Want a gift that lasts longer than a peppermint latte? Choose 3, 6, or 12 months of beauty surprises delivered straight to their door.

Best of all, you don’t need to be an IPSY member to gift one, and your recipient doesn’t have to enter payment info to redeem it. Just pure joy, no fine print. So keep scrolling to see how to wrap up the easiest (and chicest) beauty gift of the season, no ribbon required.

It's about glam time you treated yourself.

You can treat the beauty lover in your life to 3, 6, or 12 months of an Original or Extra subscription (or both, if you want to win “Best Gift Giver” this year!). Your recipient doesn’t need to be a current IPSY member or enter any payment info to redeem their gift.
