TikTok's Small gestures are back for the holiday season. The feature in the highly popular social media app was first launched in spring of this year as a way to brighten the days of loved ones during the pandemic. Now, as we continue to be socially distant throughout the holidays, the feature is back.
Small Gestures enables people to send free gifts to others, and does so through partnering with other brands. This time, some of the branded partners include Benefit Cosmetics, who are offering a Roller Lash super-curling and lifting mascara, Crocs, who are offering $20 off a purchase, and MAC Cosmetics, who are offering a free lipstick. Users must have the app to participate.
