Face pampering box for present- what should I get?

[TonySoppyrano]

For Xmas I've booked my mum a facial (she's always wanted one). To go with this I want to get her a box of face pampering stuff with the appointment card in a little envelope in the middle.

My question is, what else can I put in this face pampering box? My mum's 60 and can have sensitive skin. I don't want to spend more than about £50 and I'd like to get quite a few bits and pieces.

I was going to get some No. 7 Protect and Perfect serum, some of the 99p packets of face packs but what else could I get?

It doesn't have to be super-special but something a bit pamper-y which, if possible, does something (or at least claims to do something). Any ideas really really welcome, thanks

Any ideas....

I did a box like this last year for my DM (70 this year) and she also has sensitive skin. I got her a mix of No 7 products, Olay, and Avon. Never had any complaints that they irritated her.

I got some night cream, eye cream, serum and a really nice flannel and face wash. And I also got her Avon Naturals shower gel and body lotion too..She's still got some left actually!

stewpots Oooh, yeah I could get some nice body stuff as well. I'd only thought about face stuff.
Thanks for that!!

Marks advent calendar?

if she has sensitive skin it might be possible to swap some bits out?

Sorry I should've said, I won't be giving her the present until her visit after Xmas so advent calendar is out.

A nice towelling type headband? Bamboo cloths to take off cleanser.

Shop I've never heard of bamboo cloths. Thanks for that, will have a look.

I've not tried one yet but lots of people preferred them to flannels 😊

Anything by Ren. They usually have some offers on at M&S

I have sensitive skin and the No 7 range is fab. I've been using their cleansing balm and it's really made a difference. Last ages so would be a great addition to a gift box.

Maybe check out when they have their 3 for 2 offers?

a serum, balm cleanser, face cloths, face mask

I like the REN Vita Omega 3 face oil - lasts ages - I usually buy it when M&S have 20% off - I think from memory that REN do a mini pack of small sizes - like a travel pack which may work for your idea ?

For cleanser - I use micellar water to start & then use an oil cleanser - you could get mini samples of these.

Could the salon where you have booked treatment let you have a couple of samples for the box - I know dermalogica do a lot of samples that salons have.

oops just thought but if you buy a lot of womens magazines or know someone who does you could add a few samples of things that way - both my magazines this month had the Clarins serum sample in them.

Have you seen the Tili box on qvc? 20 for 9 items and no p and p, just got mine and very impressed.

Alternatively a temple spa taster kit would be good or a ren kit (on look fantastic clearance)

Unicorn That's a great idea, thanks. I'm addicted to QVC!

All brilliant suggestions on here, thanks.

BeaLola It's not a spa really, it's a woman who does facials at home so I don't know if she'd have samples to give- I'll ask though for sure
