I've just bought one of the Clarins face oils (Blue Orchid) and it is very lovely. Think it was about £35.

Otherwise, a Mac lipstick would make me v happy! About £15

I'm not one for ridiculously expensive stuff though, so others will probably be able to offer lots more ideas.

For me both the Clarins hand cream and Rich Body Lotion - I love them both but it seems just a bit to extravagant to buy them myself. Am happy to receive them as gifts ANY TIME 😁

Also I've just discovered Nailtiques Cuticle balm which smells amazing and is a nice gift. Not mega expensive but for my haggard hands, anything mani-related is nice.

I love Liz Earle products my favourite it the oil for your face can't remember the name but it's about £45 for a small bottle so it's always on my birthday/ Christmas list.
Also the cleanse and polish also Liz Earle that's not so bad about £15 a tube

I love the elemis frangipani range. It feels like having a spa treatment at home Smile

Thebluedog · 14/06/2018 19:50

I love the soap and glory lime crush range..

And anything Estée Lauder Smile

Smashpumpkin · 14/06/2018 19:51

Oh price starts at around 18 for the hand cream. I would recommend the oil it’s 23 pound and has so many uses!

TheFuckfaceWhisperer · 14/06/2018 19:52

I love Chanel moisturiser but it's £95 and only ever had the one jar of it

LaGattaNera · 14/06/2018 19:55

The Sunday Riley Juno face oil has completely changed my complexion. I have spent the last ten years - late twenties to early thirties - with redness, spots, uneven texture, and in the space of using this twice a day for 10 days my face has never looked better. It’s eye wateringly expensive but worth every penny.

HermioneWeasley · 14/06/2018 19:58

Neals yard wild rose beauty balm

A luxury manicure at a good salon. I have my home products sorted but love a salon treatment, and I never book them for myself.

Another vote for the Elemis Frangipani Monoi range, smells gorgeous. Annoyingly the body oil sets solid in winter though.

LadyOfTheCanyon · 14/06/2018 20:33

Sunday Riley Good Genes. Brilliant acid retexturising jollop. It's the only thing I buy and rebuy.

Rodial Dragons Blood serum is equally fantastic.

Laura Mercier Bath stuff is completely lovely - I always fall back on those as presents.

herecomesthsun · 14/06/2018 20:44

the Marks beauty box is fun, if there are any left anywhere - £15

I really love the factor 50 suncream, frezyderm, I got today, it is like a gel and actually feels pleasant and non greasy on your skin. And no white slick of paste. £12 ish I think

Calmwhoknows · 14/06/2018 20:54

Kiehl’s Creme de Corps Soy Milk & Honey Whipped Body Butter is a luxurious body moisturiser. Expensive, though, at £37 - £48, depending on size. I received some for a birthday once and managed to eke it out for months.

MrsLucas · 14/06/2018 21:02

Perfume making workshop - an afternoon session is £95. Best birthday present I ever received.

Bear2014 · 14/06/2018 21:05

Touche Eclat concealer, think it's about £25. When pregnant I loved Neals Yard Mothers' Balm.

ShesSoUnusual · 14/06/2018 21:14

Emma Hardie Moringa Cleansing Balm. As a pp said, it's like a spa treatment at home. Love it.

LuxuryWoman2017 · 14/06/2018 21:33

A lovely indulgent gift would be a Chanel compact mirror £28. I love mine.

greenlavender · 14/06/2018 21:37

A Chanel lipstick or nail varnish.

GrannyGrissle · 14/06/2018 22:01

Thisworks Deep Sleep Pillow Spray. Emma Hardie Morninga Balm. Louboutin nail polishes.

theaveragewife · 14/06/2018 22:04

Espa pink mud hair mask. Amazing after hair colouring as it soothes the scalp very well
