Help me choose a birthday gift for myself please

[nevertrustanyoneagain]

I have had a rubbish 18 months and my DH a wants to treat me for my birthday and I would like some suggestions for him please. I fancy some new makeup or skincare/toiletries.

I usually buy SBC toiletries, Prai neck cream, Laura Geller and Tarte makeup. I am early 50’s and still like bright festival colours. Korean and Japanese products appeal to me but don’t know where to start with them. I have recently treated myself to Elemis products but not started using them yet. He would probably spend £100 but he would happily spend more to make me happy. So I would love some suggestions please.

Oh and I am suffering badly with depression so multi task products would probably be a good idea like BB creams etc. thanks

Given that you already have new products that you haven’t yet used, I wonder if a new activity might not have more impact?

You may already be benefitting from yoga or massage sessions? If not, either of those would be my first suggestion.

Thank you wilderness. I am too unwell physically. I used to use yoga as a method of pain control but now I am on serious opioids just to function. I can’t tolerate massage either skin is too sore. 🫤 I had major spinal surgery in January

Oh dear, I’m sorry to hear that. (So glad I didn’t suggest boxing!)

Have you looked at:

They offer everything in the realm of ‘clean beauty’ products so you may find things that work well for you.

I am sorry that you've been having a tough time. I do believe in scents lifting my mood. Not entirely sure how though. Neals Yard stocks some amazing products which smell wonderful and feel luxurious. I love the herby floral scents. https://www.nealsyardremedies.com/

What about an electric diffuser?

I found this at John Lewis & Partners. What do you think https://www.johnlewis.com/neom-organics-london-wellbeing-pod-mini-electric-diffuser/neutral/p5535583?tmad=c&tmcampid=7&sshare=jlappioss_Y29tLmFwcGxlLlVJS2l0LmFjdGl2aXR5LkNvcHlUb1Bhc3RlYm9hcmQ=
