With Christmas just a few weeks away, this is the time to start thinking seriously about gifts—if you haven't already, that is. Obviously, your first port of call should be Marie Claire's 2025 Christmas gift guide, which is broken down into helpful categories covering everything from wellness, luxury, beauty sets, and stocking fillers, to gifts for the notoriously tricky-to-please Gen-Z.
