This year I’m especially feeling the “thoughtfulness burn out;” that is, making sure every single person, out of dozens on my gift-giving list, receive the most amazing, thoughtful gift that I could possibly by for them. It’s a lot to consider and a lot to do, and I hope to simplify the process for you with some functional, gorgeous gift suggestions this month. I’ve found that makeup brushes, accompanied by a pretty pouch, roll, or clutch, can do double time as an aesthetically pleasing, yet much-needed item.

See the slideshow above and links below for a bunch of makeup brush kits available in a wide price range and showcased in stunning packaging, some of which including a sophisticated carry-all compartment for quick, easy, and convenient brush storage.
