I'm always thrilled when a dinner guest brings me a special something as a thank you. And so, I'm always on the hunt for gorgeous goodies I can give to girlfriends when they have me over for a meal. A couple of weeks ago I joined Clicks for their media day and found these pretty beauty gifts – and bonus, they all under R50!

For The Pedi Princess UBU Tippy Toze Pedicure Pack, R40 The best bit about this pack delightful looking mini nail file that the perfect size for your handbag. With the file, you get toe separators and a nail clipper.

For The Bathing Beauty If you know your friend loves downtime in her bathtub, get her a bottle of Blooms Poppy Bath Foam, R30 for 500ml. It's a fresh floral scent that's feminine but not overly mumsy.

For The Pamper Queen Again, a great gift that your friend can slip into your handbag. Source Wild Fig & Goji Berry Hand Cream, R20 that contains the really great anti-aging ingredient Goji berry (it's antioxidant rich, so will help to fight free radicals).

PS: Another beauty gifting idea I've often bought a friend or hostess a spa voucher as special treat (especially if it's her birthday) but never know whether she'd prefer a pedicure or a facial. These days I always buy a body wrap treatment that is described by therapists as "a facial for the whole body". It's probably one of the most underrated treatments of the spa menu but one of the most beneficial as it treats the entire bod. Also, price-wise you shouldn't be paying more than a facial or full body massage.
