What would you love to receive as a gift off the beauty counters if somebody was going to spend £50 on you?

Am getting my sis a birthday present off my dad. I've got £50 and can get to Debenhams so plan on getting her something off the beauty counters. Any suggestions for luxury treat products you wouldn't necessarily buy yourself but lovely to receive as a gift? am thinking maybe a clarins hand cream, and a mask of some description.

I've already got her some nail varnish and base/top coat set off me, with a candle. Be grateful for any suggestions of your fave treat products.

This set from Ren is pretty special and comes in a beautiful gift box.

If you buy online from debenhams ATM you can get 10% off beauty with Daily Mail code so you could spend an extra five pounds!

I would head to the Origins counter, they do lots of lovely products and git sets. My favorite is the ginger body scrub

I would like a Chanel eyeshadow quad and lipgloss... Or just go to a few counters and ask what they suggest. I once got a nice limited edition shimmery gold body cream on Dior as a gift for a friend and it went down well. A nice scented body cream is good too. Depends what she likes really, is she into skincare or makeup more? Or a big perfume wearer?

I would also like a Bobbi Brown gel eyeliner and liner brush set thingy.

well, if you want clarins hand cream could you get it from frasers? they are doing "buy 2 items and choose 4 free items". so you could get a couple of things, and then they would throw in the other things and make it look a much nicer gift. or you could always ask at debenhams counter whether they have any offers- sometimes they will give you the same freebies even though there isn't an offer on- but you need to brazen it out and ask. worked for me a few times with clinique.
