What 20-something woman doesn’t love and collect highlighters? Too Faced cosmetics offers the best of both worlds with their gorgeous, illuminating highlighter that doubles as a heart-shaped compact mirror. The casing of the Too Faced ‘Love Light’ Highlighter is unique and adorable (did I mention it was pink and heart shaped?) and the highlighter itself is infused with light-reflecting pigment that leaves skin radiant and flawless-looking.

4. Hexagon Ring

Hexagon rings are about to become her next obsession, and it’ll all be thanks to you when you get her this sapphire ring in a hexagon shape from Valani. A hexagon ring is a unique, fashion-forward gift – and tons of celebrities are wearing them right now. The sapphire stone adorning it is perfect since it falls under klein blue, one of the named hottest colors for 2018 by Vogue.

A stunning gold vintage frame is the ultimate home decor piece, and she can use it to frame one of her favorite quotes, a favorite photo or an important keepsake. A really good quality vintage frame can be hard to find, but a thrift store like Value Village or Savers has tons of these, and buying a quality vintage piece from a thrift store is what’s known as green gifting, so you can’t go wrong.
