What Dawn Davis, NYC Editor, is giving ... • To her mom: StriVectin Healthy Skin Blockbuster Kit, $99. "My mom's been a StriVectin devotee since the very beginning, and even though I'm constantly giving her new anti-agers to test out, she always goes back to StriVectin. This set has products for eyes, hands, and neck, two serums and a concentrate -- hopefully it will hold her over for a while."

• To her sister: Tarte The Perfect Pink Holiday Exclusive Cheek Stain, $28. "My sister loves easy, slap-it-on-and-go makeup, and I know she'll go nuts for this pink and gold ikat packaging."

• To her mother-in-law: Eve Lom Cleanser, $64. "I gave her a bottle of this super-moisturizing cleanser last year on a whim, and now she's obsessed. It makes gift-giving so much easier when you know what someone loves -- especially when that someone is a hard-to-shop-for mother-in-law."

Interesting, the $600 shaving set seemed a little ridiculous though

Thats a lot of money to spend on Christmas gifts! I mean, seriously, a cologne/perfume at $325 a bottle???? I guess if you have the money to spend, then spend. But as far as your article, more reasonably priced ideas would have been more interesting.

Yeeeeeeesssss to these shopping wish lists! I'm giving my Mom and BFF the new Clarisonic Aria for Christmas...also I can't do without my Morrocan Oil. Fresh's Brown Sugar is a nice stocking stuffer...leaves your skin feeling nice and baby soft.

I don't see anything here that I'll be giving away as gifts. Wow, some are quite expensive!
