21 best TikTok gifts to add to your Christmas shopping list for those whose screen time is borderline concerning
Looking for TikTok gifts? We've got you covered, boo. Whether you're an aspiring content creator or simply someone who spends wayyy too much time on the app (we've all been there), you're probably looking for some of the best gift ideas that will not only impress any TikTok obsessive, but will have them rave about it until next year. And let's face it, what makes a more creative gift than one that's inspired by the latest trends? Correct, nothing.
As someone who's no stranger to addictively scrolling on their TikTok account for at least an hour a day (OK, so what if I often find myself lip-syncing to the trending sounds well past 2 am? queue “Super Freaky Girl” by Nicki Minaj), at this point, I can consider myself an expert when it comes to viral TikTok products. You name it: Rare Beauty Liquid Blush, Dyson Airwrap, Miu Miu Ballet Flats – it's safe to say that pretty much every item on my Christmas gifts wishlist comes from live streams and my favorite creators.
But that's also not to say that everything that goes viral actually ends up being worth your money. In fact, I've personally tested quite a handful of products that absolutely did not live up to the hype. Although your inner serial scroller may be tempted to take the bait and splurge anyway, the best course of action for you (and your wallet) is to read up on whether the product in question genuinely deserves the praise it gets online.
Best TikTok gifts at a glance: our top 4 picks
Take the YSL lipstick printer for example: this makeup device will set you back a whole £250, and while that may be quite a large sum to spend on a lipstick product, it's still too tempting to ignore, considering its innovative technology and the fact that.. uhm.. it can create up to 4000 lipstick shades. And our Associate Beauty Director Lottie Winter was particularly impressed too, having put it to the test as part of the GLAMOUR Tries series.
Another big TikTok beauty phenomenon was, of course, the Dyson Airwrap styler. After the release of the newest version, this bad boy took the video platform by storm, having gotten reviews coming from big influencers and content creators alike, including @jacimariesmith and @mikaylanoguaira. In fact, as of recently, #dysonairwrap has generated a total of 2.7 billion views (crazy, right?). And having tested it ourselves, there was honestly no way we weren't going to include it in this roundup.
Long story short, TikTok is as big (if not bigger) in 2022 as it was two years ago and is a great help when it comes to brainstorming for everything from beauty gifts, best friend gifts or gifts for her in general.
