It’s that time of the year again where we rack our brains thinking of the perfect gift for everyone on our list. Trying to find the right balance of thoughtful, unique, and personalized without going overboard can certainly take its toll on our mental energy during an already busier-than-normal season.

Haircare gift sets can be a saviour for those looking to maximize value and impress their recipients. On one hand, gift sets can come off as impersonal, if they’re generic or impractical. On the other hand, some people may feel apprehensive about giving beauty and haircare gifts with fears that they may be too personal, like getting someone a fitness trainer for their birthday.

There’s nothing worse than receiving a gift that makes you feel like you need to change something about yourself, we’ve all been there. That’s where Alterna is stepping in to offer five unique holiday gift ideas that are both perfectly functional and just the right amount of personal, so your gift recipients can feel loved and looked after this holiday season. Take a look below to learn more about our holiday hair gift sets and find the perfect fit for every head on your list!
