Valentine’s Day Gifts for the Women in Your Life

Valentine’s Day is about much more than just romantic love. It is also about the love we have for the other women in our lives: our mothers, sisters and friends. So this year, honor them. Show them you care with a small token of your affection. Here, a few of our top beauty picks for your fellow females:

While perfume is very personal (and we would usually be hard-pressed to recommend you buy a new scent for someone other than yourself), Jo Malone makes this a no-brainer with their Red Roses Fragrance Chronicle. The book of fragrances comes with a 30ml bottle of Red Roses Cologne along with one 9ml bottle of each of the scent’s three accompanying accords so that your lucky recipient can enhance the top, heart or base of the original scent based on her taste or given mood. Layer Moroccan Mint Leaf to modernize, Ice Rose to romanticize or Honeycomb to sensualize the classic Red Rose. This gift will not only last much longer than a bouquet of fresh roses but also allow her to carry the scent with her, always thinking of you.

Perfect for the girly-girl, this limited edition sheer gloss is available in four high-shine shades that any woman would love to have in her makeup bag. What makes it particularly special, though, is the note of love written around the bottle ensuring that she’ll get the message loud and clear.

There are few things that make young (or old) girls happier than prettily painted pinkies. Manicures, however, are quite pricey (and few last longer than a couple of days – that is if you’re even able to sit still long enough for the polish to properly dry). This kit from Jessica Cosmetics (fully stocked with a basecoat, top coat and three shades of red polish), though, will let you give the gift of manicures all year long.

All young girls want to be grown up and there is nothing that makes them feel more like their older sisters or mothers than wearing makeup. And while we aren’t suggesting beauty-pageant makeup for kids, these sheer glosses, available in four flavors, are the perfect present for the young ladies in your life. Plus, they come with a cute clip and retractable cord to easily attach to backpacks, so they’ll never (well, maybe not never…) get lost.
