The holidays are approaching fast, which means that we're being bombarded with gift sets left and right. If you want to make sure you're having a cruelty-free Christmas, here's a list of gift sets that aren't tested on animals! I've done a little digging and only picked the highest-rated sets for you.

Spread the word.

Note: These are Limited Edition gifts, so keep in mind that all the best ones will go out of stock quickly. I can't guarantee they're all still available.
