Leave it to Lala Kent to come up with the best holiday gift ideas so you don't have to!

E! got the chance to speak with Lala, who announced at BravoCon she's joining the cast of The Valley season 3, about what she's gifting this holiday season, what she's been gifted that she loves, and more.

"Being with my loved ones and putting the “to-do list” on the back burner," is the best part of celebrating the holidays for Lala. "My love language is quality time, and the holidays are filled with just that."

She also shared with us her best advice for holiday gift-giving: "When in doubt buy skincare. We all love it and no one is ever mad about it." Her faves include a Medicube mask that's on sale for Black Friday, and picks from Dr. Diamond's Metacine.

Lala, who recently revamped her podcast and launched it under a new name: Untraditionally Lala, added that her "signature gift is always something cozy. I love feeling comfortable and being snuggled up," which includes cozy finds like Barefoot Dreams socks.

Looking for a few easy, Lala-approved gift ideas? Here are a few that she loves!

Mario Badescu Squeeze Tube Lip Balm

Lala tells us, "I’ve fallen in love with Mario Badescu lip balm. It’s seriously the best. Perfect stocking stuffer." Choose from original, acai and vanilla, mint, and rose.

Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Robe

"I am obsessed with Barefoot Dreams. They are always on my list when it comes to gift-giving because they truly are the perfect gift. This bathrobe is so cozy, it’s thoughtful, and used every day," Lala shared.

Ray-Ban Meta Smart AI Glasses

PIRETTE Fragrance Oil Rollerball

Lala told us about the PIRETTE fragrance oil rollerball, which has notes of coconut, surf wax, and sunscreen: "it’s my favorite scent. It’s easy to pack, & it wears well all day."

Dr. Diamond’s Metacine Instafacial Collection Discovery Set

"The entire line is the revival your skin needs," Lala said about Dr. Diamond's Metacine. "There’s nothing else out there like it."

This discovery set includes the Plasma Bioactive Growth Factor Serum, Infusion Biomimetic Microcollagen Matrix Serum, and Emulsion Bioactive Retinoid Night Cream which work together to support healthy collagen and elastin.
