Easy, Affordable Gifts For the Unsung Heroes in Your Life

Hey, you know who's constantly underappreciated and deserves to take a breather? Teachers. Show the educator in your life some gratitude by wrapping up this e.l.f. cosmetics Best of e.l.f. Skin Care Set ($20). It includes cream, cleanser, toner, eye cream, and a sheet mask — everything necessary for some much-deserved self-care.

After bending and stretching her way through countless streaming classes this year, your yoga instructor deserves to find calm outside of class as well. The e.l.f. cosmetics 100 mg CBD Facial Oil ($18) helps stressed skin chill out, so his or her complexion and body can both be at peace.

This e.l.f. cosmetics Say Bye to Dry Hand Cream ($3) is a thoughtful gift to leave for your postal carrier. It has aloe and shea butter to counteract the skin-drying effects of constant cleaning, and after a day of delivering packages, a hand massage is a quick and comforting treat.

For anyone who's been instrumental in helping you hold it all together this year, the e.l.f. cosmetics Large Brush Holder With Dividers ($18) is an easy choice. It's meant to organize makeup brushes and tools, but its modern design makes it versatile storage for office and bedroom, too.

Sure, tip your dog walker — but be sure to include a cute e.l.f. cosmetics 100% Cruelty-Free Pin ($5) so she can wear her animal-loving beliefs on her sleeve. (Or lapel, as the case may be.)

New mothers have a thousand daily priorities, and a full face of makeup is rarely on the list. Which is okay! Along with a babysitting IOU (to be cashed in post-pandemic), wrap up a e.l.f. cosmetics Pro Eyelash Curler ($4). A little squeeze curls the lashes for a mascara-optional look that makes anyone look bright-eyed and awake. Yes, even after waking up multiple times each night to care for a little one.

Whether you get together in person or on Slack, your work BFF keeps the nine-to-five from getting dull. Give her a gift that sparkles almost as much as she does with the e.l.f. cosmetics Bite-Size Eyeshadows ($3). Each quartet of creamy shadows includes shimmery and matte shades, so she can create looks as office-appropriate (or not) as she wants.

The name says it all: e.l.f. cosmetics Ride or Die Lip Balm ($5), available in seven shades, is a purse essential. The jojoba-infused balm has a hint of tint, moisturizes dry lips, and is a fitting stocking stuffer for all of your partners in crime.

If your local barista wears makeup, this e.l.f. cosmetics Gorgeous Goodies Brush Set ($20) is a nice — but not awkwardly extravagant — gift. Everyone loves new, uniform tools — and if anyone deserves credit for helping you start your days on the right foot, isn't it the person who makes your coffee?

Here's something for everyone in your FaceTime game-night crew: an e.l.f. cosmetics Glow on the Go Selfie Light ($12). It clips onto any smartphone, features three levels of brightness, and makes everyone look (and more importantly, feel) their best.
