Men often get a little stuck when if comes to purchasing their lady lovers gifts for special events like Christmas and birthdays, often too fearful to simply buy their significant other the girly clich© gifts cosmetics and skin care thinking that the fairer sex will find such gifts offensive.

Well allow me tell you a secret. They can indeed be insulting if purchased from the bargain section of your nearest Wilkinson’s shop! But slightly higher end beauty gifts (with their appropriate higher price tag) will turn a practical gift into one that is really special and make her feel really loved.

She’ll be really happy with the Aesop skin care range. Not only does it cater to particular skin types but the recipes are made with natural botanicals, encouraging beauty via natural means. And they smell sensational too! You’re lady will feel indulged every time she uses a product from the range.

(Products: £8 and £190 will get you a very nice set!)

Every girl loves nail polish, particularly brands that don’t chip once applied and have a long shelf life in the bottle. Nail varnishes from the OPI range make great little stocking fillers and will mean that she can add a smattering of glamour to her look.

(Cost: between £5 and £18 at RRP)
