The gift collection is named Ice Parade and like every other year, MAC has broken it down into categories. The gift collection is usually so large that it has to be broken or all the lovely sets just begin to blend together in my head. The first group is the Bags and Kits collection and all of the products come in cute little silver bags that can be used as little party bags or makeup bags. "Here it comes! A sparkling lineup of everything a stylish snow queen desires! Snow globe-inspired compacts, side by side with future-chic gift sets that satisfy your lust for MAC Holiday. Wish list ready! Let the parade begin! Limited edition."

My favorite pieces to both give and receive from this part of the collection are the Nail & Lip Bags. My favorite is the Pure Drama bag, a set containing shades of deep berries and wines. The Rocking Nail & Lip Bag is a close second favorite since it contains shades of red, including a red MAC Lipstick that I haven't tried yet. I think that it is safe to say that I will be buying both of these bags for myself.
From the Eye Bags, the only one that I can really see myself getting use from is the Pearl Bag with the blacks and purples in it. The other two both contain at least one shade that I would get no use from and it would make more sense for me to buy the shades that I do like from these bags individually. The Lip Bags present the exact same issue, I never use Lip Pencil so I know that all of these would go wasted in these bags. As for the brush bags, I will just buy whatever brushes I need in the full size. The Nail & Lip are the best gifts in this collection but I could see myself giving any of the collection as gifts and I know that both friends and coworkers would be very happy to receive them.
