£20 mystery present

[birkenstocks4ever]

I need to buy for a 40 year old that I don't know well, kind of secret Santa thing. Was thinking about Pillow Talk lipstick but just wondered if there's a luxe make up item for approx that price that might be better?

Pillow Talk doesn’t suit everyone, that’s a lie... it doesn’t suit me 😭

No other suggestions though I’m afraid

Oh 😔
Back to the drawing board

You can get a neutral MAC or Urban Decay eyeshadow palette for just over £20 - John Lewis have got 10-15% off currently so would bring it down.

I’ve found Pillow Talk really suits fair skin with warm undertones if that describes your person!

Does it need to be makeup? I got a beautiful glass from Anthropologie gifted to me from my Secret Santa last year. It had my initial on it. I liked it so much I’ve given them as housewarming presents since. Think it was £14.

Scarf
Candles
Wine and chocolates
Vase
Cookery book
Diary for next year
Moleskin notebook
Bracelet

must it be makeup? I'd get a smelly candle and an electric hot water bottle

Many people dislike receiving toiletries. A voucher would be far better IMO!

If you don’t know them it’ll be v hard to guess their taste, so clothes, toiletries, smells etc are particularly tricky.

She's quite glam, likes higher end stuff. Thought one nice lipstick would be good idea. Thanks for the suggestions. Stupid bloody hen do gifts 😠

Nars orgasm blusher is beautiful and suits pretty much everyone. I've used it as a gift for a few people of different tones and they've all loved it.

I wouldn’t do lipstick, I think it can be very personal given the choices of colours and formulas (matte vs cream etc).

Also, what is a hen do present? Not heard of that before!

Chanel nail varnishes are lovely and just under £20.

@TheIckabog I'm going to a hen do afternoon tea - we've all had to pick a name out of a hat and buy for that person, something nice, not jokey. Meant to be an ice breaker I believe. Could be brilliant or all go horribly wrong!

I've gone with a 6 month magazine subscription and a nice candle. Hope it goes down well!

I'd love that OP. Good call!

Yes that's a nice gift, hope it goes well. I'd also stick in a packet of sweets or a nice chic bar, just for a little extra

I think a nice lipstick or a high end nail polish is a lovely gift.

Great choice. I'd love that Op

What about a look fantastic mystery box? £15 link here.

As if hen dos aren’t expensive enough!

Anthropologie have nice gift items

Sorry pressed post too soon! I always get SIL presents from there. Scarves, vases, house accessories, jewellery they have loads.

@Absolutely20 I know right! Thanks for all the suggestions. Am wondering who picked me and what I've got coming
