How to give it
Luxury gifts land best when they upgrade something she already uses. Pick the nicer version in a color or scent family she already likes, and add a short note saying why you chose it.
Not sure it's the one? Ask yourself three questions: will she use it at least once a week, does it fit her taste rather than yours, and could she return or exchange it easily? Two yeses is usually a good sign.
