Gag gifts no longer deserve a place in your stockings !

Chocolates and tchotchkes are fun but overdone, and oftentimes, totally useless. And it’s not that we don’t love them — we do — but this year, we’re focusing on practicality. In other words, we want to give things that our giftees will actually use.

Think: foundation sunscreens that you can wear every day, lip treatments that can cure chapped lips, and more celebrity-inspired beauty buys. Some come recommended by the likes of Jennifer Aniston and other A-Listers, while others have been used on them via makeup artists and red carpet events. They’re all under $50, too, and you really only need one or two to win at Christmas this year.
