3. Beauty & Self-Care Gifts for a Confident New Year

Chinese New Year is a moment of renewal, a time to refresh routines and step into the year ahead feeling confident and cared for. Beauty and self-care gifts are especially meaningful for close family, partners, or as a quiet form of self-gifting.

At Kiehl’s, skincare becomes a ritual of renewal. The Ultra Facial Meltdown Recovery Cream is a thoughtful festive pick, helping to soothe and repair extremely dry or sensitive skin after long days of visiting and celebration. In-store experiences such as Fortune Picks, calligraphy, Feng Shui readings, festive treats, and skincare masterclasses also allow visitors to have routines curated personally.
