two questions, for young women in their twenties

[MrsLargeEmbodied]

my dd santa presents
and my ds gf christmas present

so far lush products
any other good ideas?

Wait, what, what’s this about Lush being misogynistic and making female staff accept kisses from randoms? WTF?!

Agree on the no lush… aside from sexist treatment of staff the skin care is pretty crap too.

I’d say a nice beauty box or something like that, cult beauty or beauty bay might have a few xx

I do like the odd lush bathbomb. Also candles, voucher for a massage /manicure, favourite chocolates, house plant, chilly bottle, reusable coffee cup, beeswax foodwraps for packed lunches/picnics,

Small little things I've really appreciated of the last few years: candles, small box of fairy lights, a nice nail clippers manicure set box, little gin sets with different flavours to try, small chilly bottle for work, little lunch bag, a thing to clamp over the toothpaste so I get the very last bit out!

My 21 year old DD has requested perfume. Just that. Perfume. No specific brand/make/scent. Doesn't like anything already. My choices are Givenchy's Amarige and Ange et Demon but they are too much for a young lady.

I did get a suggestion from her friend of D & G light blue but wondered if anyone has any other suggestions?

I’m 26 and these are things I’ve asked for or would appreciate:
Jewellery - I’ve asked for some beautiful earrings from Monica Vinader
Stackers jewellery box
Weighted blanket
Headphones
Oodie
New purse
Glass nail file
Fluffy/luxury towels
Books
Skincare

Depends on your budget but if you're feeling spendy, maybe a hotel chocolat velvetiser.
Have a look at Anthropologie and Oliver Bonas for gorgeous gifty bits too.

TuftyMarmoset I tried to get her an Oodie but they are all out of stock except for Looney Tunes ones and she's too young to appreciate Tweetie PIe and Sylvester .

For 18/19 year olds I have hot chocolate bombes and just eat vouchers.

Sorry wrong thread!

I’m in my 20s. I’d be happy to receive:
Perfume
Chocolate
Books
Jigsaws
Headphones
Cruelty free make up

Things I wouldn’t want:
Cashmere wrist warmers
Statement necklaces
Lush “smellies”
Candles.

What does you daughter like though? Hobbies? What gifts has she liked in the past? Women in their 20s aren’t a homogeneous group that want the same things.

Hotel chocolat velvet user and lots of lovely powders to go with it! And an oodie (fake just as good)

L’interdit Rouge by Givenchy - woody scent Very Good Girl by Carolina Herrera - fruity floral scent The One by D & G - oriental floral Alien by Mugler - woody Angel by Mugler - I saw a review that said this fragrance is akin to a pineapple in a compost bin. It is an acquired taste but a lot of young people do like it. Daisy by Marc Jacobs - floral Coco Mademoiselle - oriental Gucci Guilty - oriental

If you’re on a budget check out the perfumes in Zara or The Body Shop.

@blobby10 I have sisters that age who like Chloe lovestory, daisy and one slightly older wears Armani Si xx

Agree with PP sisters also love Coco Mademoiselle @blobby10

Dd loves products from Rituals.

Thank you so much WreathSupreme & Twinsandsome . I can head to a perfume counter and get sniffing asap now I have some idea what to look for. Have either of you heard of the D & G Light Blue? It was her friend who suggested it - that's the only reason I'm asking

I wouldn't have wanted any of these things at 24, surely young women are more than beauty products, candies and socks?

Something useful for work/study

Neom diffuser.
Vacier minimalistic jewellery.
Fenty/Glossier/Olaplex/Beauty pie.

WaterBottle123 my daughter will also open welly boots and other stuff she needs for work/study but she did ask for a nice perfume too

What interests/hobbies do they both have? I'd go for that vs the generic type stuff you get from aunty sue who you never see and knows nothing about you.

More ideas from what I have got for my sister and SIL who are both a couple of years younger than me (22/23):
Travel jewellery roll
Makeup brushes
Body shop toiletry set
Calendar with cute animals
Christmas Percy pigs
Pin badge from Etsy relating to a particular interest
Novelty socks
A specific foreign food she loves which I tracked down online

Also things I have got for DP which are generally suitable:
Board game
Bluetooth item finder eg Tile or air tags
Banana box, which he accidentally found in my wardrobe and is quite excited about!

Re perfume I used to wear Coco Mademoiselle which is nice for young women but once I went vegan I switched to cruelty free so currently I’m wearing Molton Brown jasmine & sun rose.

@WaterBottle123 depends on the work/study I think. I can’t think of anything related to that that I, Dsis or SIL would want. Other than something generic like a travel mug but everyone my age has about 6 of them.

Fair point but they’re pretty standard “generic female gift” - presume if OP knew their specific likes, wants and needs then she wouldn’t be asking on here.
