Beauty Besties
Makeup
For the glam gals, makeup is a must. Products like foundations and concealers may be difficult to pick as everyone has a formula and color they prefer, makeup like blushes, eyeshadows, and glosses are easy picks with a wide variety of fun colors, finishes, and even packaging.
Combine multiple makeup options together for a basket or bouquet, then tie it all together with a bow and add their favorite sweet treat to seal the deal.
Learn about some of our favorite makeup brands on our blog, such as Sigma Beauty and Skindinavia, or our other most-sought-after and top picks like BPerfect, Dose of Colors, Eyeko, Fancii, Girlactik, J. Cat Beauty, Jason Wu Beauty, Kimchi Chic Beauty, KROMA, Madluv, Palladio, and Pretty Vulgar, to name just a few!

Hair Styling
More than guys, girls tend to be pretty particular about their hair. While they may have their routine down to a science, there are always a few things missing from their collection.
A new dryer, flat iron, or curler is a perfect gift for those who like to set and style a particular look, but even a new brush can be a great gift option. After all, when was the last time you swapped your hairbrush for a fresh one?

Fragrances
A classic present the women in your life will always appreciate is a new perfume. With fresh, floral fragrances, sweet scents, and warm, musky aromas, perfumes are perfect picks to show her you know her and what she likes.
While perfumes are traditionally given to romantic partners, even moms, sisters, or good gal pals would swoon over a new bottle of their favorite fragrance, or adore a unique aroma they haven’t gotten to try.
Some of our favorite fragrance brands include the all-natural Abel, adorable and festive Illume, ultra-fine Lady Primrose, and floral Kai.
