If you’re unsure what to gift the beauty lover in your life, why not give them a set?

Without the express knowledge of what your product-savvy giftee wants, trying to pick from the thousands of shiny products that debut each month is a shot in the dark. However, a bundle of skincare, makeup, or hair products from MAC, Maison Margiela, Kiehl’s, and more PEOPLE editor-approved brands is a sure way to make merry this holiday season.

We spotted some of the best beauty sets on sale ahead of Cyber Monday that you can shop on Amazon, Sephora, Ulta, and beyond while these deals last.
