Gift ideas for female 28yr old

I'm looking for a gift for my sons girlfriend,

We've only met a couple of times, so not sure what she would be interested in.

I was thinking maybe a beauty set but not sure which products to go for.
She has beautiful skin so maybe she might be particular with products
Price around £40

Any help appreciated

Thanks these look great, especially the soap and candles, going to have a browse this evening

Personally I'd be wary of beauty gifts, if you don't know her product preferences. I'd appreciate the kind of nice soap linked above though.

Other options:

A beautiful houseplant
A make-up/cosmetics bag (Elizabeth Scarlet maybe?)
Handmade ceramic mug OR a thermal leak proof mug e.g. Contigo
Posh umbrella
Luggage tag with her initials

Yes I think you're right, I know I'm fussy on what products I use
some really useful ideas there that I hadn't thought of
Thanks

I wouldn't go for anything in particular then, a gift card might be a better option imo. Or could be something that's pretty universal, like body lotions, scented sprays or something like that.

Also I agree that you can look into other options, maybe something personalized like a planner or a custom computer bag, etc. I'm not sure about houseplants though, as not everyone wants to have them and some people are allergic as well. A grow-a-plant kit would be nice though, but only if you are sure that's what she would like.

These are a pretty and useful gift, especially if she loves travelling and jewellery @Gnr24

Maybe ask your son if there’s anything she’s more or less likely to appreciate?
fwiw my 27yo DD has beautiful skin and afaik uses no ‘beauty products’ at all, and doesn’t wear jewellery. She does like houseplants eg orchids (they’re really easy to look after) and nice chocolates.
