hi everyone!
Going to Bali next week and am so excited! I'm in the process of buying a female Balinese person's present! Wasn't really sure what to get her, but my cousin is taking her some things for doing people's nails (her job on the beach)- like all coloured polish, clippers, cotton balls, etc etc.
I thought about getting some stuff for feet (as in pedicures) but also stuff for her. She's in her 40's and has two son's around 18 years old. I'll tell you what I've got her so far, but I'd like some suggestions for what else and what to get her sons..
So far I found this really nice, big toiletries bag with zip up pockets to store things in when doing manicures/pediures at the beach, some foot lotion, emery boards, toe clippers, couple of small hand towels/flannels (these are all things for her job), and for her some body wash, a lip balm and moisturiser.
Is this enough? What else should I get? She's such a great person and I would love to help, but don't want her to feel like a charity case..... Any ideas for her sons?
Love to hear your thoughts! Thanks!
Thank you!
