One of the best pieces of gifting advice we've received is that if you're unsure of what someone might like or want, give them something usable, edible, consumable, applicable. That way if they don't really like it, well, it's a finite resource. And if they do like it, they can replenish it later-and possibly even think of you. In a way, these exhaustible gifts are experiences. They are sensory but temporary. And beauty and self-care products make for particularly pampering and personal experiences.

This year Nordstrom is the happy host of the British beauty store SPACE.NK.apothecary. Our shop-in-shops (located in Toronto's Eaton Centre and Yorkdale Shopping Centre, South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, California, and Domain Northside in Austin, Texas, as well as online) feature a curated selection of the store's emerging and cult-favorite beauty brands. Almost any of their amazing products would be an original and thoughtful present for someone on your list. And, helpful elves that we are, we've rounded up some of our favorites with suggestions for who might most enjoy them.

What's better than one amazing lipstick? Two, of course. Lipstick Queen's Ice Queen kit includes a beautifully illustrated storybook and lip color combo, both perfect for holiday gifting. A claret matte shade, Wine Sinner, can be worn alone, or topped with the lip illuminating Ice Queen for a shimmering, luscious pout. Worn alone, the illuminator adds shine for the day, while the flattering berry lipstick provides a pop of color for the afternoon or evening; combined, these tubes pack a party look perfect for the beauty junkies on your list.

Inspired by the scents of Scandinavian forests, this hair and body wash by botanical blending company PHILIP B® will invigorate any recipient's shower routine. Incorporating Norwegian spruce, balsam fir, white pine, cedarwood and camphor with oat extracts and aloe, Nordic Wood is a refreshing and masculine cleanser, great for confronting mornings and smelling ruggedly fresh throughout the day. Your brother, sig other or best bud will thank you for introducing them to this woodsy two-in-one.

Give good locks this holiday season. Luxury hair care line Oribe's Gold Lust set features three of its most popular products. Gold Lust dry shampoo absorbs oil while extending blowouts and hairstyles. The dry texturizing spray adds lift and volume at the roots. A hair oil keeps tresses moisturized and healthy. Bonus, they all smell amazing. Moms-in-law and sisters will love these first-rate hair fixers.

At face, a cleansing water might seem like a dull gift. Quite the contrary: introducing this single, simple step into a skincare routine can produce a brighter, more radiant complexion. Rodial's Dragon's Blood cleansing water includes rose water and vitamin B3, treating even the most sensitive skin to an energizing yet soothing boost. Plus, 'dragon's blood' sounds pretty awesome. Chances are you'll be the only one handing out such a mythical tincture. Moms and best mates will appreciate the prestige gentle cleanser and its soft scent.

Give those on your list who can't help but spread the love this holiday a prettily packaged Eve Lom Kiss Mix moisturizer. This specialty treatment leaves a pearlized shine and menthol tingle with each application. The beeswax formula has almost miraculous healing properties, conditioning and protecting even extremely chapped, dehydrated mouths. Pals and coworkers will cherish these pots of glossy goodness.

For your host and hostess gift needs, pick up a lovely bottle of lotion or soap from REN. REN products use only plant and mineral ingredients, so they are gentle as well as luxurious. Delicate, botanic scents and rich formulas distinguish this line as immensely giftable. Consider the Moroccan Rose Otto body lotion or Neroli & Grapefruit body cream this season for an exotic yet practical present.

For busy professionals and parents, Sunday Riley's Blue Moon Tranquility cleansing balm is a life (and face) saver. This natural, cobalt-colored cream uses moringa and cocoa butters, plus essential moisturizers, to hydrate while washing. Blue tansy and sweet orange give this balm a soothing yet uplifting scent. To use, massage the balm on the skin, then remove with a warm cloth.
