Valentine's Day Beauty Gifts
Chocolate and flowers aren't the only gift options for Valentine's Day --- beauty gifts are also at the top of many lists. They're often budget-friendly, and the recipient can enjoy them much longer than a gift that's edible or alive. In typical Valentine's Day fashion, many of the beauty gifts are pink and red and are love, heart or flower themed.

Heart Bath Products
-
Heart-shaped bath products are a good option for someone who enjoys frequent luxurious baths. One gift option is a hard, compact bath product that dissolves gradually when wet, also known as a bath bomb. These come in a variety of scents and colors. Another option is a heart-shaped bath pillow or loofah. Combine all three for a Valentine-themed bath set.
Makeup Gift Set

Purchase a red heart-patterned makeup bag and fill it with the recipient's favorite beauty products. If possible, include one of each basic type --- lipstick, lip gloss, eyeshadow, eyeliner and nail polish. For Valentine's Day, opt for red, pink and white colors such as red lipstick and nail polish, white eyeliner and pink eyeshadow and lip gloss.

Flower-scented Perfume
-
For those who prefer flower-scented perfume over actual flowers, there are a variety of options. Some perfumes involve a single scent while others are a combination of two or more. Typical floral scents include rose, jasmine, daisy, gardenia, peony and violets. Before purchasing the perfume, make sure you know which scent the recipient prefers as well as if she is allergic to any specific type.
Charitable Makeup
-
Some or all of the proceeds of certain beauty products get donated to a specific charity, so when you purchase a Valentine's Day gift for a loved one, you're also supporting charity. Some of the products include lipsticks, bath products and nail polish and will be labeled with the specific charity information. These products are typically available at department stores and directly through the charities. In honor of Valentine's Day, choose makeup that is red or pink, has flower packaging or goes to a heart-health related charity.
Flower Hair Accessories
-
Those who are allergic to flowers or may prefer an alternative to live flowers may appreciate receiving flower hair accessories for Valentine's Day. Some options include small clips with flower embellishments, medium-size silk flowers that the recipient can intertwine in an updo and a large single silk flower barrette. The hair accessories come in a variety of flower types, but for Valentine's Day, consider roses or carnations.
