If you are in search of gift ideas for her, you can hardly ever go wrong with a nail care gift basket. It’s an excellent gift idea for mom, grandma, wife, girlfriend or any girl aged 10 and up (my daughters would argue it starts at 4…). A nail care gift basket also makes a perfect mothers day gift basket.
Why?
Because most women just love applying a fresh coat of nail polish onto their toe or finger nails – It looks great! it feels great! it literally brightens up their day! (some women even find it to be a relaxing form of “occupational therapy”).
Get some or all of the below items and put together a nail care gift basket for her to enjoy!

- Nail polish – the most important item in a nail care gift basket (it can even be the only ingredient if you include a variety of nail polish bottles in your basket). There’s a very wide range to choose from. Pick a few colors depending on your budget and your recipient. Don’t be afraid to go wild on the color palette!
- Nail polish holder – a truly useful gift idea for her if she applies her own nail polish. This device holds nail polish bottle in an angle, freeing up hands and helps avoiding spills.

- Nail polish corrector pen – to correct any smearing while applying nail polish.
- Top Coat Nail Polish – can be applied on top of colored nail polish to seal and protect the colored polish.
- Healthy Nail lotion – yes, there are lotions specifically for nails…
- Toes separator – these foam separators or “spacers” are useful when applying toenail polish in case your recipient is into pedicures.
- Nail salon gift voucher – a pampering gift idea for her! It’s nice to get a professional manicure every now and then.
- Homemade manicure / pedicure gift voucher – looking for a unique and inexpensive gift idea for her and know how to apply nail polish? How about inviting her for a manicure / pedicure done by you? simply print out one of the coupons, fill in the details and put it in your gift basket!
Want to splurge some more? how about a
Nail polish dryer -if your recipient is a self manicure addict this is an extremely practical gift idea for her. A nail dryer quickly dries up nail polish, eliminating the need to wait for up to an hour until all fingernails are dry.
