Aesop The Forager set, $60, aesop.com

The joy of this self-care set goes beyond the heavenly citrus-infused body wash and balm from the Australian brand that’s featured by the sink in every celebrity’s house tour. It is responsible for a $100,000 AUD (approx. $92,000 CAD) donation to Photographers Without Borders, a global advocacy program that uses storytelling to inspire change in the world, regardless of how many kits are sold.

Biko ring, $145 for two, ilovebiko.com

Perfect for everyday wear, either on its own, worn as a pair or fully stacked, this 14k-gold-plated ring is from Canadian brand Biko’s Molten Pearl collection. Each piece is hand-cast from a freshwater pearl, resulting in the subtle wavy shape.

Chanel eye palette, $80, chanel.com

In celebration of the iconic fragrance turning the big 1-0-0, Chanel has designed a limited-edition collection of No. 5 eyeshadow (and a lipstick one, too). It’s a collectible item any beauty fan would appreciate.

Papier notebook, $69, papier.com

A daily planner covered in upcycled leather and adorned with tiny croissants is just the thing for that friend who tends to flake (but also has a sense of humour).

Love and Lore pyjama set, $99, indigo.ca

It doesn’t get more classic than gifting a pair of PJs during the holidays. This year, skip the tartan and up their sleepwear game with this cheetah-printed cotton set that looks extremely expensive in a quirky way.

Hermès nail polish in Vert Écossais, $63, hermes.com

We all know some of the best things come in small packages, especially small orange packages.

Keurig mini coffee maker, $80, keurig.ca

This single-serve coffee maker is slender and compact, allowing anyone to brew a good cup (using recyclable K-cup pods) in the comfort of their own dorm room, office or studio.

Merit Tinted Lip Oil Set, $96, meritbeauty.com

Merit’s limited-edition lip oil set (in four new shades) is perfect for splitting up into individual stocking stuffers — or as one delightful present for that friend who needs all the lip colour options.

Caudalie Vinoperfect Instant Brightening Solution Set, $95, caudalie.com

Know someone planning a trip this holiday season? This travel-friendly skin care set from the much-loved French pharmacy brand is all they need to throw in their carry-on.

R+D. Lab tumblers, $114, matchesfashion.com

Forgive us, this gift is technically not under $100 (unless you buy the also-lovely clear version). But these mouth-blown tumblers from R+D. Lab in collaboration with cool-girl photographer Alice Gao are just too good not to include. Also, we’re sure someone on your list really deserves them.
