What do you gift someone who has shared years of childhood memories with you, picked your panicked 3am phone calls and helped you navigate through major crisis, time and again? Some selfcare essentials, perhaps. Or a fragrance that’s on their wishlist, an indulgent skincare kit, a cult-favourite beauty buy they’ve recently seen on Instagram—the list is endless. We’ve rounded up 12 options that are as apt as reasonable. And since they won’t break the bank, maybe surprise them with a few. Here’s the lowdown.

Tira Jade Facial Roller
If your sibling is one to indulge in a little selfcare sesh every now and then, consider gifting them this jade roller that lifts, tones and sculpts the skin. It only helps that the jade green hue it comes in, also makes it a great addition to the dresser.
