Ideas for a little gift for friend?

[TwiggyStardust]

I have a chum who’s been through a particularly hard time of late. I want to send her a tiny gift and card to let her know I’m thinking of her.

She loves make-up so was thinking I’d get her something along those lines, like a fab lippy? Any ideas for a lovely product, Mumsnetters? It’d be great if it was packaged/encased gorgeously. She’s very beautiful and has a face that can handle strong make-up looks.

Thanks in advance! x

We need your budget!

I love luxury items that you wouldn’t necessarily buy for yourself. India Knight recommended this lip balm by Fresh in The Sunday Times the other week:

I’ve tried some of their other lip balms and liked them. You wouldn’t have to worry about picking the correct shade.

Argh, thanks @Thinkle! Budget = £20 max.

@mavornia - thank you for your suggestion. I love the look of that lip balm. I think I’m looking for something that’s a bit more ‘statement-y’ and glam aesthetically, if that makes sense?! (Realise I didn’t explain that earlier!) x

I've done this before www.izzybee.co.uk/

How about a nice face mask in a pot?

Maybe this? Still a classic.

Something like this?

Mac Ruby Woo is a classic “fab lippy”

I love Bobbi brown crushed liquid lip

Thanks all! Some great suggestions here. 😊

Nars orgasm blusher is always a hit when I give it as a gift. It's so beautiful and suits pretty much everyone.

I echo the Nars orgasm blush or the matching lip balm. Beautiful packaging and gorgeous product

Sorry it’s slightly over your budget but it was what came to mind immediately (£23 but might be able to find a deal online?)

Something from glossier? Or beauty pie?

I haven't tried either but know these get a lot of talk.

Nars blusher is a good one though.

A nice cleanser? Or exfoliator? If you know the brands she likes and uses.

A white company candle? Winter scent
