Girls love their perfumes but they can get pricey. I love gift sets for more expensive items because you can try out a range of products without having to pay full price.

41. Simple Ring

If your best friend wears rings, a high quality ring is a really great gift. Since rings are constantly being washed and touched, more than other jewelry would, they can tarnish a lot faster. 

Having high quality rings that won't get ruined easily is something women definitely look for. This is something she will love and appreciate.
