Today's Top Deals
Sure, we enjoy ripping open those big ticket items throughout the holiday season (we hear that SolaWave is having a major sale right now…), but sometimes, it’s the little things we use the most. In fact, over the next few weeks, we plan on shopping for the best beauty stocking stuffers to buy from Target, creating a collection of tiny, budget-friendly presents to give to friends, family, neighbors, and even coworkers.

We definitely know a few people who would enjoy receiving a mascara gift set or a sweet-smelling perfume sampler. Plus, if you’re actually filling a stocking, there’s no harm in being practical, filling it up with pimple patches, makeup sponges, and cleansing wipes — all of which might feel a little nicer than that toothbrush from mom (although that’s always appreciated, too).
Ahead, check out the best beauty stocking stuffers from Target to shop for the 2023 holiday season.
