Advice on buying a treat for my beauty-savvy friend

A friend has just given birth to her 3rd child and has had a bit of a traumatic time of it. As it's a 3rd baby of the same sex, I don't need to buy the baby anything. I'd really like to buy my lovely friend some luxury toiletries that feel like a real treat for her. Problem is, I'm a soap and water girl and she used to work in the beauty industry so I'm at a loss. I'd usually just buy someone a Molton Brown set, but for her I don't think it'll feel special. Can anyone recommend a brand to look at? I was thinking a bath set or some really nice hand cream/body moisturizer. Thanks knowledgeable people 😁

Neom products smell gorgeous, my local pharmacy sells them and when you walk in the smell is fantastic.

L'occitane is another lovely brand for gifts, I love the almond range, but they usually have lots of lovely sets to choose from.

A bit more expensive, but Aesop products are incredible. I'm a bit of a hand cream obsessive and my favourite ever is the Resurection balm in a lovely pink tube.

Thanks that's really helpful, looking at Neom at the moment and it looks gorgeous xx

Neom and Aesop are lovely but double-check ingredients as their are a few essential oils you should avoid if your friend will be breast feeding.

The white company calm range is gorgeous! Depending on budget you could get their room diffuser. I have it on daily and it 100% is the most beaut smell and so calming! Also NEOM are gorgeous and of course, Jo Malone- pricey though!

This Works is incredibly good, with a wide range of things to choose from. Aesop as a previous poster mentioned is very special. Their hand washes are super luxurious and last forever.

The Laura Mercier bath creme is also very loved.
