HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE: SOPHIA MAE’S FAVORITE GIFTS

The gifting season is in full swing, and to help you navigate through all the gift options, the SOPHIA MAE team has teamed up to curate our favorite gifts for this festive period. From luxurious perfumes to gifts that make you shine, we've included everything in our ultimate holiday gift guide. Here, you'll find inspiration for the most beautiful holiday gifts, perfect for giving or treating yourself.

Monica, founder of SOPHIA MAE 

My favorite holiday gift is, without a doubt, Mystic Escape eau de parfum, our third fragrance. I find it to be an incredibly sensual, feminine scent that's perfect for winter evenings. If you're looking for a holiday gift in a different price range, I also recommend our Serene Symphony foaming shower cloud. Chances are, though, you’ll never want to use anything else again! The foaming shower cloud has such a soft texture that, for me, it’s the only way to go now. Tip: combine the two to create a custom beauty gift set for the holidays!

Manon, Product Development Manager

I love perfume and have built up a nice collection over the years. However, I realized I was missing a rich, somewhat heavier gourmand fragrance for winter. And of course, there’s nothing more fun than being a product developer and creating a new fragrance that fits this description perfectly. That’s why Mystic Escape is my number one pick in my holiday gift guide. Tip: although it’s sweet, it’s a unisex fragrance, and as far as I’m concerned, we should normalize sweet fragrances for men too. Mystic Escape eau de parfum is the perfect Christmas gift for your partner or best friend.

Stanley, Co-founder & Managing Director

The holiday gift I’ll be giving to many people is the Serene Symphony foaming shower cloud. I want to give those around me a wonderful moment of self-care with this product. For me, the best ideas and insights always come to me in the shower, and I believe this product really contributes to that—at least it does for me. Plus, the whole bathroom smells amazing after using it, so you can enjoy the scent even longer. Tip: pair it with the Aura foaming shower cloud to create a beautiful body gift set. Or make your body care set even more special by adding our bestselling eau de parfum, Aura.

My favorite holiday gift is the Eternal Balm! Especially now that the cold temperatures are arriving, there’s nothing better than a soothing, multifunctional balm. I use the Eternal Balm on my lips, face, and even dry patches on my hands. Sometimes I even apply it as an extra glow over my makeup. Besides leaving a wonderful feel on your skin, it smells lovely and luxurious, yet subtle. The Eternal Balm has truly become indispensable in my handbag and is the perfect beauty gift idea for the holidays.

Annelotte, Operational Manager

My favorite gift for this holiday season is, once again, Aura eau de parfum. It’s a wonderful gift to give and to receive. For me, Aura eau de parfum has become truly indispensable in my perfume collection. I’ve noticed that both my boyfriend and I (also a great tip for a gift to your partner) always reach for this fragrance. In short, it’s a beautiful gift to give or to ask for this holiday season.

Roos, Sales

I was already a fan of Majestic Mist, but with this product, I think I’ve found a new favorite: Majestic Texture! It creates incredible volume and adds extra texture to your hair, allowing you to walk around all day as if you’ve just stepped out of the salon. I love it!

Machteld, Allround Marketer

My favorite holiday gift is the Discovery set. It’s the perfect gift to give and so much fun to receive. With four mini scented candles in the fragrances Aphrodite, Artemis, Rosa, and Hestia, it introduces the lucky recipient to a variety of scents, making it easy for them to choose their favorite. The mini candles also look adorable in any home, and you can use the set to give each room a unique fragrance. A must-have for your Christmas holiday gift guide!

Millie, Allround Marketer

The Discovery set is my top pick for a Christmas holiday gift guide—a gift I personally enjoy so much, and at the same time, an ideal present to spoil a loved one. It’s the perfect luxury gift that you simply can’t go wrong with.

This carefully curated collection of four mini scented candles is a treat for both the eyes and the nose. With four unique fragrances, there’s a perfect scent for every mood. These mini candles from the Discovery set transform your living room, bathroom, or bedroom into a serene oasis. Plus, the set’s packaging is a gift in itself. It’s perfect for anyone still looking for gift ideas for the holidays!

Sheila, Content Marketer

The gifting season has begun, and also for me, the Discovery set is the perfect gift idea for the holidays! It allows the recipient to discover SOPHIA MAE as a brand while immediately enjoying the delightful scents of our candles. Plus, there’s something for everyone, and let’s not forget the packaging. With the Discovery set's packaging, you don’t even need gift wrapping—truly, chef’s kiss!"

Sophie, Copywriter

Eos laundry perfume is at the top of my wishlist. A laundry perfume is a good gift for everyone; you really can't go wrong with it. And especially with the wonderfully refreshing scent of Eos—it’s such a pleasure when my sheets and clothes smell like the wonderful scent of Eos. The perfect holiday gift if you ask me!

Veerle, Customer Care

The temperatures are dropping again, and that means lighting all the candles in the evening! The dark evenings are the perfect opportunity for me to burn my Hestia scented candle maxi. Hestia is truly my favorite scented candle, and I can honestly say that I have never enjoyed such a wonderfully soft, woody scent more. It's number one on my Christmas holiday gift guide. Hestia really creates a cozy home, and I recommend everyone to give it to their loved ones or themselves. The Hestia scented candle should never be missing from your collection.

Ivanka, Finance

Although there are several favorites on my list, my favorite holiday gift by far is the Hestia scented candle midi. The scent and color are perfect for this time of year. I love the look of the candle, and the scent helps me completely relax. It's perfect to take a moment for myself during the busy time, and I quickly forget the autumn/winter blues!

Janoux, Content Coordinator

As a beauty lover, I’m always on the lookout for beauty gift ideas for special occasions. At the top of my holiday gift guide this year is the Blissful Blush Satin Rose. his blush adds just the right touch of elegance, completing any makeup look. Beyond being a joy to receive, this bundle makes for a thoughtful and functional gift. In short, it’s the perfect beauty gift set—ideal for giving or adding to your own wishlist!

My favorite gift for the holidays is without a doubt Eos laundry perfume. The scent is so refined and subtle, yet it lasts incredibly long. My sheets and clothes have never smelled so divine! After using it, your entire home feels enveloped in a luxurious, elegant aroma. I love gifting Eos laundry perfume because it’s not only a treat for yourself but also a delightful surprise for others. It’s a stylish, sophisticated gift that truly stands out. A must-have for any holiday gift guide!

My favorite holiday gifts? The Satin Sheen hair & body elixir. The scent is simply irresistible! Satin Sheen is my go-to for self-care—it makes my skin silky-soft and nourishes my hair with any leftover product on my hands. It’s packed with nourishing ingredients, making it a winter must-have! Gift it solo or combine it with other products to create a personalized body gift set.

My favorite gift idea for the holidays is the Satin Sheen hair & body elixir, without a doubt. During the colder months, my hair and skin crave extra care, and this product is just perfect. It gives my hair a gorgeous shine and leaves my skin hydrated and velvety-soft. And the scent? It’s heavenly and lasts all day!
