Merit The Glow Set
Editors Notes
Merit is the luxe US beauty import that's been making waves over here for the last few months. I've tried it myself and can confirm the minimalist makeup creates that coveted chic, pared-back look that we want more as we reach our 30s. The Glow Set is perfect if you're unsure of her exact skin tone shade.
The Glow Set includes the brand's fan favourite Flush Balm (a glow-giving subtle blush), the bestselling Signature Lip (a lipstick with a creamy, buildable formula), Shade Slick (a hydrating tinted lip oil) and Day Glow (a highlighting balm that's intended for everyday use).
The White Company Wellness Hamper
Editors Notes
Being 30 comes with responsibilities, and that means we could all do with a White Company Wellness Hamper. This is essentially the gift of sleep wrapped up in a wicker basket.
Inside she'll find calming and nourishing products, including the bestselling Electronic Diffuser with a set of spa oils, a candle, face & body mist and body lotion. Plus, you can add a personalised message.
Creed Carmina Eau de Parfum

You can never go wrong with topping up her signature scent, but if you want to surprise her with something new, we're yet to meet someone who hasn't fallen in love with Creed Carmina.
This luxurious Creed fragrance is modern, floral, woody and ultra feminine, with notes of Rose de Mai, Amber, Black Cherry, Saffron, & Pink Pepper.

Editors Notes
What to get the girl who has everything? A good night's sleep is priceless, and luxurious bedding will not only upgrade her bedroom aesthetically but ensure she's sinking into the softest sheets every night.
Sukun does the most beautiful bedding sets, from the minimalist Amalfi bundle that will feel like she's staying in a five-star Italian hotel, to the dreamy and romantic Provence set with a frill edge and dusty pink thread. They're made from sustainably-sourced, 400 thread count pure cotton.
Anissa Kermiche Love Handles Ceramic Vase
Editors Notes
She's probably going to receive some birthday flowers, so make sure they look as stylish as possible in this Anissa Kermiche vase.
Anissa Kermiche says she always hears the same thing: her decorative objects bring life to a room and make everyone smile. This vase is a forever piece made from a light grey ceramic.
Dyson Airwrap
Editors Notes
The Dyson Airwrap is one of those rare gifts we can guarantee almost any girl would love to receive. Creating everything from bouncy blow-drys to beachy waves and sleeker styles with salon-worthy results, it uses far less heat than your average hair tool to keep it in optimum condition. Once you get the hang of it, it's so easy to use, and we're obsessed with this brand new colourway, contrasting electrifying blue and pastel blush pink.
The Dyson Airwrap multi-styler uses the 'Coanda effect' - a motor generating power through air - so she can style her hair at much lower temperatures, preventing heat damage. It comes with multiple attachments to curl, wave, smooth or rough dry - which also makes it the perfect multi-purpose tool to take with her on her travels.
UGG Classic Mini Platform Boot
Editors Notes
UGG's sartorial status has been under debate for years, but no one can deny their comfort (super warm and cosy, like walking on a cloud FYI). Plus both Bella and Gigi love theirs, and if it's good enough for the Hadids...
A modern take on the classic Mini UGG, these boots feature a leg-lengthening two inch platform, but have the same original rich suede and plush wool inside to keep her cosy through the winter.
