Most women enjoy a day of self-indulgence — getting primped and pampered. That's why a gift of beauty for the holidays is the perfect token of affection.

Manicure and pedicure set: Hands and feet can never get enough TLC, especially during the holidays. Buy a preassembled manicure and pedicure kit at a beauty-supply store. Or make your own for the gift recipient, including nail polish, top coat, emery board, pumice stone and nail clipper.

Boxed gift collections: Two boxed collections from Caren et Cie are perfect for gift-giving! The collections are beautifully packaged and available in three bestselling fragrances: Caren, Stardust and Cucumber. The Moisturizing Collection includes 4 oz. Hand Treatment, 8 oz. Body Treatment, 4 oz. Foot Treatment and 4 oz. SPF-15 Facial Treatment. The perfect pampering gift is The Rejuvenating Collection, which is a mix of 4 oz. Hand Treatment, 8 oz. Body Treatment, 8 oz. Shower Gel, and a shower poof. Caren et Cie's products are designed to soothe, heal and condition the skin from head to toe. The line is created with a variety of botanical extracts and vitamins.

Products can be purchased at independent pharmacies and specialty gift stores, or via www.carenproducts.com.

Cosmetic shopping spree: So many beauty products, so little time. Give a gift certificate from a cosmetics store. This way, your favorite gal can buy whatever lotion, lipstick and perfume are on her wish list.
