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. So if you're serious about treating a loved one (or your dear self) with TikTok gifts, or if you're in the brainstorming stage, we're here to help. Luckily, we already did the sorting for you, so all you need to do is pick the one that most tickles your fancy. In this gift guide, you'll find everything from cookery must-haves, viral beauty goodies, trending fashion items, beauty advent calendars and even content creating accessories + tech to help you create the best setup for filming. So what are you waiting for? Prepare to send gifts or spoil your dear self (after all, receiving gifts is always nice too).

Best TikTok gift for a foodie: Always Pan
This pan is not just any ordinary frying pan, it's a viral sensation. Why, you ask?

Not to mention, it's all about the aesthetics too. Whoever said cookware isn't supposed to look good didn't meet the Always Pan, which comes in not one but 10 (yes, t-e-n) colours, including one that was designed in collaboration with Selena Gomez.
Best TikTok gift for lipstick fanatics: YSL printer
YSL Rouge Sur Mesure Device, £250, Yves Saint Laurent
If you're looking for a gift to impress a makeup enthusiast (even better if they're big on lipsticks), then it honestly doesn't get any better than this. Ever since it launched earlier this year, it made rounds on social media and impressed thousands of users, thanks to its innovative technology. If you're unfamiliar, it's a lipstick printer that lets you create up to 4000 lipstick shades in a matter of seconds (and can even match the exact shade based on a photo). It also comes with a compact and a lip brush so you can touch up your look on-the-go. Defo going on my wish list…
Best skincare TikTok gift: LED face mask
Dr Dennis Gross DRX Spectralite Faceware Pro, £430, Cult Beauty
2022 is all about LED face masks. And TikTok content creators (including a few of our favourite celebs) are loving them too. This mask is one of the best ones available, and, believe it or not, one of the most affordable ones out there too (despite its £430 price tag). Trust us, good LED masks are hard to come by, and some of them can set you back thousands of pounds. And this one in particular is a medical-grade LED mask that features powerful technology, thanks to the combination of 100 red LED lights and 62 blue LED lights that will help you reduce the appearance of fine lines & wrinkles, firm up your skin, fight acne and even out your complexion.

Best Charlotte Tilbury TikTok gift: Light Wand & Contour Kit
Beauty Light Wand & Hollywood Contour Kit, £78, Charlotte Tilbury
If you're a big stan for the “clean girl” aesthetic, chances are, you've probably already seen the Charlotte Tilbury Light Wands all over TikTok. After having been sold out for ages, you can now get a set of three for £78 (which is a lot less than what you would pay for if you were to purchase each of them individually at £29 apiece). Simply pick your contour shade (light/medium or medium/deep) for your Hollywood Contour Wand and select any two shades for the Beauty Light Wand (heck, you can even get two of the same and stock up in advance). Psst… we recommend trying out Pinkgasm, which is the blush of all blushes.

Revlon Salon One-Step Hair Dryer and Volumiser, £50.50, Amazon

Designed to detangle, dry and give volume, this handy tool is perfect for when you need that salon-grade blowout without splurging over £40 every time. It's perfect for mid-length hair as well as long hair and features ionic technology to reduce the frizz + ceramic technology that will make sure to minimise the damage. All this for £50.50? Are you kidding? Where do we sign up?

Best TikTok gift for coffee lovers: Nespresso coffee machine
De'Longhi Latissima One Evo Automatic Coffee Maker, £214.99, Amazon
For those of us that are hopeless coffee obsessives, finding a good and reasonably priced coffee machine can be hard, especially when most of the best ones hold a four-figure price tag. And while bean-to-cup machines are great, they tend to be really high-maintenance and not nearly as easy-to-use as the ones that work with Nespresso capsules. And this particular machine is not just your regular espresso machine. In fact, it's also capable of making you a latte or a cappuccino with the milk of your choice. It's no wonder why it's gone viral on TikTok, just take a look at this minimalist aesthetic.

So you want to become/know someone who wants to become a TikTok content creator, right? Well, anyone who's ever filmed videos will tell you that the number one thing to consider is the lighting, and we cannot stress this enough.

We get it, there are plenty more expensive LED light setup accessories, but before you commit to something more pricey, why not try testing the waters first and try using the good ol' ring light? And this one has more than 6,000 ratings and is categorised as “Amazon's Choice” so you know it won't disappoint.

Best Tik Tok gift for a busy gal: Chloé tote bag
Chloé Woody Cotton-Canvas Tote Bag, £550, Selfridges
I know what you might be thinking: “Summer's over, so why on earth would anyone want a tote bag?” Listen up, sure, while there's little practical use in tote bags during the colder months full of rains and winds, when it comes to staple fashion pieces – you don't want to miss out, trust us. Just a few weeks ago, this item has been consistently going in and out of stock, so if there's a good time to buy it, it's right now. It'll make a great gift for a fashion-obsessed friend, mom, sister (or anyone for that matter). And who says you can't treat yourself with such a chic bag? Honestly, run, don't walk.
Best TikTok gift for filming: iPhone 14
iPhone 14 256GB (Purple), £959, Amazon
Before embarking on the TikTok content creation journey, you might want to consider upgrading the device on which you're planning to film on. While some prefer cameras, it's safe to say that the most popular and convenient way to shoot a TikTok video (or a live video) is with the help of a smartphone. And if yours is outdated or if its camera system isn't as good as you'd wish, then start eyeing the iPhone 14, Apple's latest addition to its smartphone lineup. Of course, some prefer using an Android device, but the iOS is just way more user-friendly (in our opinion, at least). This configuration gets you a stunning 6.1-inch purple phone with 256GB of storage, 5G connectivity with an advanced camera system. Accessories with stickers or an iPhone case and you're all good to go!

You simply slot a sheet of gems into the opening and clamp down on your hair for the gems to stick - easy!

Plus, it's super affordable too!
