It’s finally that time of year, the group chats are filling with Secret Santa names, stockings are waiting to be stuffed, and the annual “what do I buy them!?” panic is setting in. But fear not… Glisten is basically made for gifting.
Whether you’re looking for something cute, colourful, useful or a little bit magical, these picks are small enough to tuck into a stocking but special enough to make someone gasp when they open it.
Here are our must-have mini gifts, all affordable, fun, and guaranteed to brighten someone’s festive season!
Shape shifter Mini
£15
The perfect little highlighter palette for your glitter-loving friend (or that co-worker who always compliments your glow). Shape Shifter Mini includes five soft, reflective shades that suit every skin tone – ideal for quick everyday radiance or full festive glam.
Small enough for a stocking, impressive enough to feel like a real treat.
Midnight Muse black lip kit
£22
For the alt girlie, the goth bestie, or the friend who lives for a dramatic lip, Midnight Muse is the perfect statement gift.
It includes a creamy Black Spectra Pencil, Black Juicy Tint, and matching Glis Gloss for a striking look without the fuss. Bold. Vampy. Affordable. And wildly fun to unwrap in a Secret Santa swap!
Red Spectra Pencil
£7
A classic staple and an absolute no-brainer for a stocking.
The Red Spectra Pencil is smudgeable, pigmented, long-lasting and perfect for everything from tightlining to dramatic wings.
It’s the kind of gift everyone will actually use – and at £7, it’s Secret Santa gold.
Chroma Flakes
£12
You can’t go wrong with sparkles at Christmas.
Chroma Flakes are lightweight, iridescent, and add a multi-dimensional shimmer to any makeup look – and they feel luxuriously special for such a tiny price.

Cherry Juicy Tint
£9.50
The easiest lip gift ever.
