Start with the person you’re buying for
Need a small birthday present, a thank-you or a little something to put away for Christmas? You don’t have to know every bottle in their bathroom to choose well.
Think about the bit of their routine you do know. Do they always wear their hair up? Keep a brush in every bag? Love a quiet night with a hair treatment? That gives you a much better starting point than adding things just to make a gift look bigger.
Here are five options from the Hair Pinns shelf, each under $30 on its own.
For someone who likes a full-sized brush
Wet Brush Pro Paddle Detangler · $29.95 each
If they prefer a larger brush, the paddle shape is a practical place to start. This is the full-sized pick in this edit, with Frost Purple and Frost Pink Paddle options.
Choose the colour they’ll reach for. If they have extensions or specific salon aftercare instructions, check those before buying a brush for them. Always follow the directions supplied with the brush.
For the one with a favourite colour
Colour Pop Lucky Dip Hair Accessory Bags · $9.95 each
Know their favourite colour but happy to leave the little details as a surprise? Pick an available colour and let the bag do the rest.
Each reusable clear bag holds a mystery mix of coordinated hair accessories. It may include scrunchies, hair ties, bows, clips or combs. Every bag is different: photos are examples, and the contents, quantities, shades and bag styles vary.
If they need a particular clip or an exact number of ties, choose an individually listed item instead. A lucky dip is best for someone who enjoys the surprise.
For someone who would enjoy a little time out
Mini Pamper Pack · $19.95
A small collection of treats, ready to give together. The pack includes a soft hair towel, a hydrating hair treatment mask, a fruity facial sheet mask, collagen eye masks and a purple sparkly detangling comb. The facial sheet-mask flavour varies.
It’s a thoughtful option when you know they enjoy a pamper. If they have ingredient sensitivities, check the individual products before choosing, and follow the directions on each item.
For the person who is always looking for a hair tie
Hair Tie Surprise Stacks · $8.95 each
This little cake-inspired container opens into two reusable tubs, with hair ties in both. Choose a container colour from the available options; the mix inside is a lucky dip.
Hair-tie colours, styles and assortments vary between packs. It’s a neat little gift for someone who already uses hair ties and likes keeping them together.
For the handbag or backpack
Wet Brush Mini Keyring · $4.95
A tiny purple brush that can clip onto a bag, handy for a fringe or a quick touch-up while out. Think of it as the little extra alongside their usual brush.
It can work as a small gift on its own, too. There’s no rule that a thoughtful present has to be a big one.
Want to put two things together?
Keep it simple: choose one main item and one extra they’ll use. A $29.95 paddle brush and a $9.95 Colour Pop bag come to $39.90 before delivery. A $19.95 Mini Pamper Pack and a $4.95 Mini Keyring come to $24.90 before delivery.
These are shopping suggestions, with items sold separately at their listed prices. Check your chosen styles, availability and final total in the bag before paying.
Buying for a child? Our kids hair-gift guide has a separate starting point. Choosing shampoo, conditioner or a treatment range for someone else? A photo of the products they already use helps me point you in the right direction.
