The Best Gifts To Buy Someone This Holiday Season Based on Their Favorite 2025 Film
Beauty
This holiday season, pay homage to the makeup, fashion, and set design behind your favorite 2025 release with gifts inspired by their respective on-screen aesthetics.
Art imitates life, but when it comes to finding the perfect gift for a cinephile, we believe the opposite to be true. That’s why The Set Set has compiled a holiday gift guide inspired by the makeup, fashion, and set design behind this year’s most beloved and aesthetically memorable films. From the exact beauty products worn by your favorite on-screen characters to antique trinkets straight off a "Frankenstein" Pinterest board, this list is for the movie-lover in your life who can’t stop gushing over the costumes in "Hamnet" or Scandinavian home decor in "Sentimental Value."
If you are a shopper who tires of gifting the forgettable candle or utilitarian bathrobe, consider buying a concrete-after-lightning candle inspired by the Bruce Springsteen biopic or a jungle-print robe modeled after Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson’s shared dressing gown in "Die My Love"—because everyone deserves to feel like the main character. From lip gloss stocking stuffers to the very ring worn by Dakota Johnson in Materialists, our gift guide covers a range of genres, price points, and age ranges that prove you listened to the movie-buff in love life gush about their favorite feature film.
"Materialists"
Sure, capitalism commodified modern-day romance, but it also brought us Dakota Johnson’s Aritzia blazers and signature silver pieces in Celine Song's "Materialists." In an exclusive chat with The Set Set, costume designer Katina Danabassis described crafting a "classic, quiet-luxury" wardrobe rooted in New York-inspired workwear. With that in mind, our gift picks range from the exact silver collar Danabassis chose for Dakota to a more accessibly priced A24-designed ring modeled after the vintage one featured in the film.
For loved ones in NYC, you can pay homage to Chris Evans’s on-screen ambitions by gifting a ticket to A24’s newly opened Off-Broadway venue, Cherry Lane. Alternatively, for the materialist who would’ve followed Pedro Pascal anywhere, add a few indulgences from Dôen and Westman Atelier to the cart.
"Hamnet"
To be Paul Mescal or to be with Paul Mescal was a question "Hamnet" left many of us asking. And while we currently lack a way to package the Irish actor beneath a tree (though AI is probably working on that), we can satiate those who landed on the latter with leather Frye boots or a sword hoop earring set. Alternatively, you can pay homage to costume designer Malgosia Turzanska’s more feminine silhouettes with a billowing blouse from Dôen or a puff-sleeved smock dress. And while brevity is the soul of wit, The Complete Pelican Shakespeare and special edition Hamnet folio are the perfect gifts for the Shakespeare-nut of the family who likes to revisit the source material.
"Frankenstein"
For the capital-R Romantics in your life, gothic horror-heads, or Jacob Elordi fans, Guillermo del Toro’s elaborately-costumed "Frankenstein" is the perfect film to mine for whimsical gift ideas (you can read all about the breathtaking designs in our interview with costume designer Kate Hawley). With the film’s partnership with Tiffany in mind, an Elsa Peretti cross makes for a timeless present, practically lifted from Mia Goth’s neck. We suggest bloomers and corsets for the Gen-Z in your life, or, for a spooky spin on clean-girl beauty, consider a skull candle or an entomologist stationery set from Heretic Parfum. For something small but sweet, a botanical mushroom ornament makes for an especially charming stocking stuffer.
"Wicked: For Good"
From Ariana Grande’s REM Beauty collection to a less-obvious Le Creuset collaboration, "Wicked: For Good" offers a wide range of merchandise for every type of shopper. For the chronically online, we found the perfect cozy dupe for Elphaba’s viral 'sex cardigan,' a maxi-length knit that captivated the internet after Elphaba used it to seduce Fiyero. Bon Bon’s mix-and-match candy bags allow you to stick to the film’s signature pink-and-green color scheme for the sweet tooth in your life. You can also never go wrong listening to the film’s soundtrack with a Glinda-pink pair of AirPods Max.
"F1"
For a film about cars, "F1" delivers some truly scene-stealing outfits. 'Motorcore' is the natural starting point for the F1-obsessed fashion lover in your life: think leather jackets, sleek bombers, and Wales Bonner sneakers. Tommy Hilfiger, who designed a capsule collection for the film, offers a sporty bomber that nods to the film without feeling costume-y. For something more collectible, Assouline’s second-edition Formula One coffee table book—rubber-scented and packaged with complimentary gloves—adds high-octane glamour to any living room. For a wearable wink to Brad Pitt’s character, Madewell and Jacques Marie Mage both offer stylish dupes of his covetable aviator shades (which were actually costume designer Julian Day’s dad’s sunglasses from the '70s).
"Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere"
If a one-way ticket to Atlantic City is out of your holiday budget, consider purchasing some luxury haircare products or musky leather perfume instead for the Springsteen fan in your life, inspired by "Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere." On the fashion side, the Boss’ quintessential American look can be easily replicated with Levi’s denim and ’80s-inspired leather. Or, for the “invisible by design” beauty approach that Jackie Risotto and Jameson Eaton used to transform Jeremy Allen White into a sweaty and soulful rockstar, some of the curl products Eaton used on set.
"Sentimental Value"
As "Sentimental Value" unfolds a bittersweet family drama, the elegant design of production designer Jørgen Stangebye Larsen’s custom-designed house becomes a quiet, aesthetic anchor. Fortunately, that aesthetic is shared by numerous Scandinavian homeware brands. Call it hygge, call it Scandi chic; either way, it’s all shoppable at a Danish URL near you. Bring a touch of the Nordics into your space with Björk & Berries’ vetiver-and-pine reed diffuser. And for those who lean fashion-forward, try an oversized Samsøe Samsøe shirt or a cozy Tekla bathrobe.

"KPop Demon Hunters"
For the kids in your life who can’t stop streaming "KPop Demon Hunter" (that kid could also be you, no judgment here!), this gift guide nails the maximalist pop-star aesthetic, with a girly cartoonish flair. From cozy white earmuffs to sequin-studded booty shorts, we’ve got every vibe covered. Explore official merch and standout collabs—including limited-edition Vans–or just search “glitter” on Sephora and let inspiration strike.
"Die My Love"
Fear not, you don't have to crawl through the woods on all fours to pull off Jennifer Lawrence’s frayed Levi jorts or vintage Edwardian nightgown from "Die My Love"; just shop the list below. From bolo ties to boat shoes, we’ve covered the couple’s effortlessly sexy and eclectic style with a Western edge expertly put together by Catherine George. We’ve also selected options for the dads in your life who have no use for a nightgown, such as a John Prine vinyl or Swiss knife set (IYKYK). And for that luminous pregnancy glow, check out Glossier’s Superdew. But be warned, if you reference this list for the new parents in your life, we suggest not telling them that this film made you think of them.
