For girly gifts
A girl can never have too many lipsticks. The average woman owns around 20, but there is always room for more! Models Prefer Pucker Up! (£12) is a collection of six pretty lipsticks, each in a cute heart-shaped case. They come in a pink satin gift box, so you'll be able to keep wrapping to the minimum too. This range has a real celeb following - bound to gain you some brownie points!

Regular manicures can be expensive, so save her a fortune with the Nails Inc 7 Piece Discovery Collection (£24) . It's like having a nail bar in your own home! Nails are the first thing that people notice after your eyes and skin, so this kit will help her make a lasting impression.

If she doesn't like to wear too much make-up, choose Laura Geller cosmetics. Laura is the wedding darling of America and she is famous for creating a natural look for her clients. With Big Apple Beauty (£26.25) , a clever collection of creamy formulas, you don't need to be an expert to be able to create a soft, dewy finish to the skin. The collection contains four make-up sticks with a sponge applicator and a thickening black mascara, all presented in a New York-style yellow cab make-up bag.

For a pampering treat
We all have friends who spend their time looking after everyone else and forget about themselves. The Elemis Spring Clean Your Regime Collection (£35.24) is just the thing to give them the pampering treat they deserve. This kit is bursting with goodies to cleanse, tone, exfoliate and moisturise the skin and is available in three options to cater for sensitive, dry and combination skin types. Her skin will be left glowing and she will feel like a new woman.

If the ideal gift would be a weekend spa break but if the prices are just too high, buy her the Liz Earle Body Wash & Body Cream Collection (£24.25) for top-to-toe pampering. The natural, organic products include a Nourishing Botanical Body Cream and the addictive Orange Flower Botanical Body Wash - which comes with a pair of exfoliating mitts - to create the feel of a spa in her own home. Skin will be left feeling smooth and supple with that just massaged look.
