This year’s most-gifted beauty product isn’t a perfume set. It’s a lip balm.

This year’s most-gifted beauty product isn’t a perfume set. It’s a lip balm.

We love a perfume set as much as anyone. But somewhere between the fifth identical gift box and the third unopened fragrance, people started gifting something else: a tiny jar of lip balm with a spoon in the lid. Hi. That’s us.

THE WHOLE STORY, IN ONE SENTENCE

Honeybalm is the pocket-sized, bee-powered balm people keep giving, because it’s cute, it gets used every day and there’s a flavor for every single person on your list.

1. Nearly half of you buy us as a gift

Nearly half of you buy us as a gift

When we asked you why you shop with us, close to half of our US customers said gifting. We blushed. A little.

Turns out a jar this cute is the easiest yes on any gift list.

45%of our US customers have gifted Honeybalm

2. Nobody has ever unwrapped us and thought “hmm”

Nobody has ever unwrapped us and thought “hmm”

Perfume is a gamble. Too sweet, too strong, too much like their ex.

Lip balm is the gift everybody uses. Ours melts on smooth and comfortable with a non-sticky feel, so it lives in a pocket, not a drawer.

Cute on the outside. Seriously good on the inside. Gift-wrapped either way.

Quick check. Tap what’s true for you.

3. We come basically pre-wrapped

We come basically pre-wrapped

Every flavor gets its own color duo, and every lid hides a Honeyspoon. Add a ribbon and you’re done.

Stockings, Secret Santa, the coworker you only know from video calls. Covered.

4. A flavor for every name on your list

A flavor for every name on your list

Honey for the classic. Mint for the minimalist. Chocolate for the dessert person. Pumpkin Spice for the one who decorated in October.

25+ flavors, plus ten limited editions this month, means nobody gets the same jar. Unless they’re fighting over Chocolate.

5. Fair warning: it’s habit-forming

Fair warning: it’s habit-forming

Gift one jar and you might create a collector. It happens more than you’d think.

First it’s one in the bag. Then one by the bed. Then a whole shelf. We take no responsibility.

700,000+honeybees and counting

6. Powered by bees under all that cute

Powered by bees under all that cute

Under the lid: comforting beeswax, hive-born propolis and conditioning vitamin E.

Beeswax helps protect lips from feeling dry, propolis brings a comforting touch, and vitamin E leaves lips feeling beautifully conditioned.

100%cruelty-free, every single jar

Why we beat the usual stocking stuffer

Sticks look like a last-minute grab. Jelly tins look like a pharmacy run. We look like a present before the bow even goes on.
