Beauty Gift Ideas

If you're short on gift ideas for the gals and women on your list, beauty gifts are an ideal way to please a good chunk of them. Few women can resist pampering and lathering themselves in wonderful lotions, creams, potions, and scents that are available today. And to top things off, beauty gifts are always exquisitely wrapped and are relatively inexpensive.

There are some things to consider, however, before purchasing the gift of beauty. Brand is an important gift consideration. Some women are very brand conscious and insist on products from Clinique and nothing else. Others may have medical or skin conditions that inhibit them from using certain products. But those issues aside, beauty gifts still sing to the tune of most women.

Here are some great beauty gift ideas for you to put to use:

Perfumes and Fragrances
If you're considering giving a woman the gift of perfume, be very careful. Make sure you get her something that she already uses or something that she has asked for. If you're the bold and daring type, opt for something original. Just be sure to sniff and inspect before buying.

Gift Card to Bath and Body Works
The primo beauty gift is a gift card to the ultimate beauty store, Bath and Body Works. The number one conglomerate of the personal care industry, Bath and Body Works offers thousands of products with an emphasis on natural beauty. They have more than 1,700 stores nationwide - so don't be afraid to give this delightful, yet practical gift.

Hair Straightener
Professional ceramic hair straighteners make a great gift for young girls, teenagers and women who are fashion conscious and like to keep up with today's hairstyle trends. The ceramic technology prevents the straightener from sticking to hair and even promotes silky, shiny hair.

Blow Dryer
If you are going to get her a new straightener, then you might as well combo up and get her a new blow dryer, too. There are many models of hair dryers to choose from. What's the trend right now? Ionic. According to ionic's ad copy, Ion technology allows hair dryers to disperse negative ions to eliminate frizz and add fullness and body, resulting in shiny and smooth hair.

Beauty Experience
If you are uneasy about buying a woman makeup, perfume or accessories, consider giving her a "beauty experience." There are many experience-style gifts in the beauty arena, from less expensive treats like manicures and complete nail sets, to more indulgent gifts of professional haircuts, body wraps, day spas, and fabulous weekend retreats. Unlike all the other gift ideas on this list, a beauty experience is sure to leave a lasting memory.
