UPDATE: WHICH WOULD YOU RATHER RECEIVE?

tends2dogs — Fri, 09 Jul 2021 18:07:42 GMT

I am sending an add on gift to our DIL for her birthday. I am waivering between an 8 piece variety body cream from Beekman or a 20 piece hand cream variety from Perlier. She is close to 50 and is an elementary school teacher.

If you have any other suggestions, I am open. I need to get this ordered soon.

TIA

_________________________________________________

UPDATE - WHAT I PURCHASED:

So, I had to decide so I could get this ordered for her to receive it on time (HSN). I got her a 3 piece glass nail file set. I have these and LOVE them. I also bought her a hand and cuticle peel from the Beauty Spy. I added in a large size seasalt olive oil hand cream from Korres.

Thanks for the suggestions and feedback everyone. I think she will like these items......I know that I would. She is home for the summer and goes to their community pool alot. I think she will enjoy having nice looking hands and feet.

I think handcreams would be nice so she could keep a few in her desk at school whereas the body cream would probably be only used at home.

Unless you are sure she enjoys different scents I would be careful to send her scented products. I never had a cream or lotion that I liked the scent.

My personal choice would be the hand creams.

Not a fan of body creams were I have to stick my fingers in a jar. With the hand creams, they can be conveniently placed so that one is always available like in a purse, car, desk, end table drawer, etc.

As a teacher she probably washes her hands numerous times during the day. I vote hand cream.

I would prefer Beekman hand cream instead of Perlier hand cream.

The handcreams. I have bought these Perlier mini variety packs in the past and they were great size for carrying in a handbag. They make nice small gifts to give when you are visiting someone .

The hand creams for sure. I have several on desk at work, in my purse, in my car, and even on the t.v. tray next to my exercise bike. Not to mention the bathroom and bedroom.

What I would prefer, and it's neither of those you chose, does not matter. Can't you ask her husband. Since he lives closely with her he might know.

As a retired teacher I always loved getting hand creams. I always used a bit after washing my hands. I struggle with some scents, but I can usually tolerate a scented hand cream better than a scented body lotion.

Hand creams...

It's fun to enjoy various scents and the size is great for travel and/or daily in a handbag.

Personally, I love the L'Occitane hand creams and order the variety pack every 2-3 years.

I vote for hand cream - either Perlier or Beekman.

If your recipient is an animal lover, do NOT send her any Philosophy products, they are NOT cruelty free.

Philosophy is not cruelty-free. They may test on animals, either themselves, through their suppliers, or through a third party. Brands who fall under this category could also be selling products where animal testing is required by law.

I think L'Occitane hand creams are some of the best! My favorite is the one from Clarins--Jeunesse? I used to get them with gift sets long ago. Best I ever used!

How about small hand sanitizers to go with a hand cream or two? You can get Purell in little single use tiny card-like packets that you snap in two--and they are great!

Also the tiny bottles of sanitizer are good, and you can get little leather holders with a clip on them that will snap on a purse or belt.

Hand creams! I love body lotions but I use hand creams more.

@tends2dogs I think you did "good".

A thoughtful birthday gift is always appreciated. Sure beats a gift card.
