Don't know how Dior does it but their quality is superb. Anything by them will make her feel super special. This is something affordable: Dior Abricot. Touted as a base coat, you can see and feel the quality instantly. The bottle cap is smoother, and has beautiful shape. The polish is rich and thick but goes on easily and smooths out any ridges to prep your nails for color -BUT I think it's da bomb just as it is. Though a light apricot color in the bottle, it goes on almost clear. It's dense, quick drying, shiny and looks like a professional manicure in itself. As we sit in our homes it can bring a little bright spot and says 100% luxury. And she deserves it. $28
at Macys.

It's a hellalotta cabbage for this but it's from the famed Barefoot Dreams. Nothing brings more comfort than the coziest blanket or sweater... and 'tis the season, even if you live in warmer climes. A Cozy Chic Topanga ($109) throw for outdoor cocktails when the sun goes down, or to curl up for a great binge watch would be most welcome.
Or, the blanket below, which comes in several colors. I like the navy best. $147 at Barefoot Dreams.

This stuff works!! Since many can't go for glycolic or fruit acid facials right now, this is one of the next best things.

If she likes florals, try their Kimono Rose collection - from bubble bath to soap to body lotion. All their Citrus scents are great, and usually are tolerable for those sensitive to perfumes and heavy scents. For a Zen, clean atmosphere, Eucalyptus Candles are my pick. The box, the graphics and containers all go the extra mile. This definitely won't be giving "just a candle" or "just some lotion." TIP: As of this publication, get 20% off orders of $100.
