From ‘80s curling tongs to soothing eye massagers, here’s Back Market’s beauty-themed Christmas gift guide for some festive inspiration.
The bells are jingling, your ticket back home is booked, and you’ve started to daydream about the inevitable post-holiday meal movie marathon. But when it comes to gift giving you feel stumped. Sound familiar?
Now, before you begin to sift through endless recommendations, consider this: What would it be like to give a gift that keeps on giving, long after the final seasonal decorations have been boxed up for the next year?
At Back Market, thanks to our sustainable and mindful approach to shopping, we’re offering great deals on items that you actually need – whether it’s hair care, nail care, beards, or beyond.
Here’s our curated selection of refurbished beauty products, to help you tech the halls (see what we did there) this Christmas.
Anyone who loves beauty – especially if they love all things haircare – knows that when it comes to hairdryers, the Dyson Supersonic is truly a styling tool Hall of Famer. Firstly, the Supersonic looks and feels sleek. It's not heavy (the ultimate selling point for anyone with thick hair, right?), and because the motor is at the bottom of the handle rather than the head, like with most hair dryers. That means it’s super easy to hold and use when crafting your favorite hairstyles.
Since its launch in 2016, there have been slight tweaks to the user experience – the current Nural model has added scalp protection, and a few new colorways have been released. But we recommend the OG iteration of the supersonic, especially with that snazzy purple and chrome finish. It’s the perfect gift for helping your loved one finally get those red-carpet-worthy hairstyles.
Do you have that one person in your life that you feel needs to wind down? You know the type. Allergic to chilling out, and probably needs a sharp nudge in the relaxation direction to ever take a break.
This two-in-one eye massager from Dartwood is a super soothing experience. It's heated (nice) and perfect for promoting overall wellness and self-care. So perhaps this year, even though they’d hate to admit it, give your mom, sibling, or colleague a gift that money ultimately cannot buy – the permission to slow down.
We’re guessing the recipient of these needs it more than they think. The humble beard trimmer is a staple in any well-groomed man’s kit. On those days when you can’t run to the groomers, it’s useful to have a pair of weed wackers so any hefty beards can get a trim.
The Philips Norelco has 10 length settings, so you can choose between the clean-shaven look or something a little more rugged. It’s pretty affordable and also good at chopping some bangs if that’s your thing.
If you happen to be chronically online or deeply invested in ’80s haircare (or both) it’s likely that you would have seen a Conair in action.
This two-in-one styling tool is the perfect gift option for the experimental beauty lover in your life. It’s versatile, accessible, and takes a lot of the guesswork out of styling your hair. A tool that aids in great hair and cuts down styling time? Put us down for two!
Get ready for your close-up. Is there someone in your life starting out as a budding beauty creator? You might have caught them doing GRWM’s in the bathroom, snapping their pores in hi-def in the name of skincare, or making Tiktok’s about their makeup routine.
So here’s a real steal of a gift at under $50. The Vivitar ring light packs a punch lighting-wise and comes with a tripod, which allows the user to concentrate on snapping the perfect content hands-free. Should make a difference for all those selfies – and, if they end up going viral, you can totally take credit with launching their career (we promise).
This holiday season, save money, find the perfect deals, and get ahead of the gift-buying rush by buying on Back Market. To save you the hassle, we’ve launched an exclusive run of Christmas gift boxes available on select devices. You might find one in the stocking if you’re lucky.
