My group chat contains multitudes. One long-distance friend communicates solely in memes, while my college roomie has never once encountered #beautytok, and would not be able to name a viral makeup trend if you offered her a million dollars. Sound like your friend group? No matter where on the spectrum they fall, you can find the perfect gifts for them at Ulta Beauty.

The retailer has pretty much everything any kind of beauty lover could want, from the multi-stylers that have inspired thousands of hair tutorial videos to classic fragrances that will never not be coveted. And if you're seriously stumped—or just a lil late—you can always opt for a gift card, so they can get whatever they've been eyeing for themselves.

But you've still got some time—so pour yourself some nog and get ready to check everyone off your list.

For the Chronically Online

If they're the girlie who checks their FYP right before they go to bed and ASAP when they wake up, gifts don't get much better than the trending, hot-ticket beauty picks that everyone in the know is adding to their wish lists. Our recs:

For the Casual Scroller

They know their way around a beauty aisle but can't always name the absolute newest trend rn (black French tips who?). In other words, they know the popular brands, but they wouldn't add a product to their wish list just because everyone else is talking about it. These picks are for them.

For the Social Media Cleanser

Are they currently on an extended break from social feeds? If they've sworn off the endless scroll (brave!), they'll for sure appreciate these classics from best-selling brands—no tutorial, caption, or double-tap necessary.
