Can’t decide what to your Valentine or Galentine? We’re here to help this holiday with gifts for the foodie, for the fashionista, for the frolicker — in fact, for all the wonderful women in your life that you want to cherish and treat not just one day of the year but every day.

PAMPER

​​Common Heir’s Vitamin C Serum

Gift your favorite girl this Valentine’s Day Common Heir’s Vitamin C Serum, a must-have skin care product for daily and nightly routines. The gentle-but-powerful serum prevents and improves the appearance of dullness, dark spots, and aging. These biodegradable, plant-based capsules are good for travel and even better for the environment! $88

 Intelligent Elixirs Skincare

Bring a little love to your favorite Galentine with a skincare ritual from Intelligent Elixirs. The Citrus Facial Scrub will polish her skin to perfection — enhanced with amino acids, lavender and apple fruit extract, skin is left smooth and radiant. She can also pamper her skin with the ultra rich Ultra Restorative Moisturizer which imparts moisture and keeps skin healthy and glowing… and did we mention that this cream has a light rose scent? All formulations are clean and cruelty-free. (Bonus: it’s available at Central Market stores across Texas.) From $17

Sweet Temptation Gift Set from Lush

Let her give in to temptation with two scent-sational shower treats. Beyond the red shiny wrap, this gift is packed with I Can Resist Everything But Temptation Shower Gel, an apple-scented sudser that’s mega moisturizing, and Orange Shower Scrub, a brightening exfoliator that tackles dry skin gently and easily. $21.95

Wit & West Perfumes

Wit & West specializes in creating high-quality fragrances and 100% botanicals that are made with carefully selected natural ingredients. We recommend purchasing the signature Rosé L.A. Perfume. It naturally has a fruity scent because it’s built with notes of pink grapefruit, rose otto, and sandalwood to create that honey-like butteriness. We also recommend their sample sizes to throw in your travel bag. $60

LOULOU, Eau De Parfum

In French, “mon loulou d’amour” is how you refer to someone you love and giving them the LOULOU fragrance is the perfect way to show it. LOULOU DAMOUR is a stylish French-inspired women’s fashion brand created by designer Zee Field. It’s made with notes of jasmine, peony accord, and bergamot for warmth, making it the perfect gift for your feminine one. $149
