Welcome to Lake+Main’s 2024 holiday gift guide. We’ve curated thoughtful, unexpected gifts for those notoriously hard-to-shop-for loved ones. From practical essentials to indulgent surprises, these picks will impress even the toughest critics. Use this guide for a little gifting inspiration, or send it to someone as a not-so-subtle hint!
The Male Skincare Skeptic: GROOMED Beard Oil
We all know (and love) someone like this. The one bar of soap wonder. The men keeping the all-in-one shampoo/conditioner/body wash/window cleaner industry alive.
They may roll their eyes at a six-step skincare routine, but deep down, we think they really want to join in—they just don’t know how.
GROOMED is the perfect starting point for the male skincare skeptic who’s hesitant to embrace self-care beyond the basics. It’s not just a skincare product—it’s a practical grooming solution.
Here’s why it’s ideal:
- Low Maintenance with Big Payoff: A few drops go a long way to tame unruly beards, leaving them soft and well-managed without requiring a complex routine.
- Comfort First: Many skeptics are converted when they realize this oil reduces itchiness and irritation, making their beard not only look better but feel better too.
- Healthy Beard, No Hassle: By promoting healthy growth and preventing breakage, GROOMED offers visible benefits that are hard to ignore—even for the most doubtful users.
The Low-Maintenance, Natural Beauty: KISSED Lip Oil
This person wants the no-makeup, makeup look—but without actually using makeup. Still with us?
Whether it's your sister, friend, mother, or yourself, this person prefers a simple routine that substitutes makeup for skincare that highlights their natural beauty. In this case, you couldn’t go wrong with any of our products, but we’ll take out the hassle with this killer recommendation.
KISSED Lip Oil offers the best of both worlds: high-quality skincare that takes a baby step into the world of makeup.
- Subtle, Natural Colour: KISSED uses a small dose of beetroot powder to add a subtle tint that will elevate the lips natural colour.
- Gloss Without Mess: Castor, jojoba, and marula oils deeply hydrate and soften, adding a natural glow without the stickiness of traditional lip gloss.
- Convenient & Versatile: Perfect for everyday use, this lip oil can be applied as needed to soothe dryness while maintaining a simple, natural beauty routine.
The Ingredient Aficionado: VELVET Body Serums
At Lake+Main we like to say that our ingredient labels are so easy to read that you could make the products yourself, but we think you’ll agree that we’ve perfected the formula.
If a perfect natural skincare formulation ever existed, it would be our VELVET Body Serums. They’re absolutely packed with rich oils and potent extract, without any unnecessary fillers.
For the person in your life who studies ingredient labels like they’re prepping for a pop quiz, VELVET might be the holy grail.
- Plant-Based Oils: Derived from natural plant sources, these oils provide deep hydration and nourishment to the skin, helping to lock in moisture and support skin elasticity.
- Antioxidant-Packed Extracts: Rich in natural compounds that help protect the skin from environmental stressors, while promoting skin regeneration and reducing inflammation.
- Silk Formula: A luxurious, lightweight texture that absorbs quickly into the skin, leaving it soft, smooth, and deeply moisturized without any greasy residue.
The Athlete: REST EASY Magnesium Spray
The athletes in our lives make many sacrifices: weekend fun for away tournaments, dinners out for late-night practices, and time with friends for working out.
Our magnesium spray, REST EASY, is a great way to treat those in your life with precious little time to rest.
It’s a practical gift with priceless benefits, offering relief, rest, and relaxation at a moments notice.
- Fast Relief On-the-Go: The easy-to-use spray targets muscle tension, cramps, and headaches, providing instant comfort and helping you bounce back faster.
- Supports Recovery: Magnesium helps regulate muscle function and blood sugar levels, making it a must-have for athletes seeking effective recovery after intense training or competition.
