When it comes to body care, beauty babes don’t settle for drugstore basics. This holiday season, indulge her with luxury body care gifts from top designers.
Perfumed shower gel
Forget vanilla and raspberry shower gels. It’s all about infusions inspired by classic perfumery. Give her a designer shower gel, and she’ll spend her day lightly scented with intoxicating, sexy florals and grounding base notes. Prada Infusion d’Iris can be used as an ultra-indulgent bubble bath or with a shower loofah as a cleansing gel. Deep notes of vetiver and cedarwood pair with gentle iris and sweet orange blossom. (Prada Infusion d’Iris perfumed bath and shower gel, Macy’s, $46)
At-home spa kit
Is she always on the run? Encourage her to slow down and relax with an at-home spa kit. Perfect for the woman who could use a soothing afternoon to herself, this kit is packed with everything needed to indulge the body. Aromatherapy lotions and gel spa socks combine for a sensory experience and therapeutic skin care. Pair the kit with some candles or an offer to babysit, and you have the ultimate gift of relaxation. (basq Relax and Refresh Spa Gift Set, Bed Bath & Beyond, $78)
Classic perfume soap
Want to score big with a small gift? Try soap scented with the classic perfume Chanel No. 5. This dainty pink bar is packed with the iconic aroma and moisturizing vitamin E. It’s a great gift for women who love perfume but prefer a very light scent. For great prices on designer soaps, browse the beauty section at your local T.J.Maxx. (Chanel No. 5 bath soap, Chanel, $25)
Foot care basics
Soothe her aching feet with a spa pedicure kit she can use at home between salon visits. Give her a bucket of foot care basics and a spa-quality foot file for smoothing away dead skin and calluses. A three-step process encourages her to devote some time to pure pampering. Visit your local HomeGoods for spa and pedicure kits at great prices. (Foot care bucket, Crabtree-Evelyn, $75)
Exfoliating body scrub
Treat dry winter skin with a gently-exfoliating body polish. Whether she has a sweet tooth or not, she’ll love the glowing effects of a sugar scrub. Pure essential oils and moisturizing oils combine with brown sugar for a natural body care treatment for use in the shower. Lightly scented, this body scrub leaves skin soft and touchable. (Fresh brown sugar body polish, Sephora, $65)
Calming bubble bath
There are few indulgences in life quite like a hot bath full of towering bubbles. Forget nabbing the kids’ bubble bath gel. Give her a grownup gift especially formulated for a woman’s skin. Moisturizing ingredients and a stress-battling scent make bath time her time. For luxury bath products at great prices, shop in the bath and beauty department at Marshalls. (Calm One, Calm All bubble bath, Soap and Glory, $14)
