Help me make up a little box for a friend

HerbsnSpices · 20/02/2021 09:38

I want to make up a little hamper or box for a good friend. She is 40 plus, into wellbeing, beauty, clothes, and accessories.

I don't want to buy her something for the house or something her family will scoff. I want it to be for HER.

Any ideas? Budget around £40ish

And a lipstick. A pristine, luscious, luxurious new lipstick. What skin tone is she?

Cuticle Balm

If your budget can stretch to it this would be as great gift.

After my DSis had her baby I got a basket hamper lined it with a fleecey bathrobe then filled with:

1 x box choc
1 x mini bottle rose
1 x mini bottle red
1x mini bottle white
1x mini bottle Prosecco
1 x face pack
1 x body moisturiser
1 x lip balm
1 x cheapy perfume dupe (perfume parlour)
1 x fluffy socks
1 x scented candle home bargain yankee knock off.

It was well received. Not hugely expensive either , definitely under £50. Baby obviously got something too! And DBIL, a bottle of gin as not to feel left out 😂

Something sweet but maybe not chocolates as that's more of a "usual" gift. How about some pick n mix sweets you can buy online.

Maybe some Prosecco or wine if she drinks.

A silk face mask. Slip do some for around £39 I think but I recently got one from Accessorize for £10.

A face mask by 111 skin for something luxe or otherwise soap and glory.

Candle.

Some nice body products.

Lip balm.

A book.

Some pyjamas or cozy things to wear in the house.

A scarf.

Bath bomb or bubble bar.

Other things you could get

A fab fit fun box is about £40 I think

A glossy box

QVC does some good gifts. The neom gift would be good and about your price range

These look great value, and you could add a candle or bottle of vino, chocs and come in around £40.
