We do a family secret Santa. I pulled my young, cute SIL. She's 25, into makeup, exercising, eating healthy, and she doesn't have any kids. She has similar coloring to me, blonde with blue eyes. She doesn't have anything at all on her Elfster wish list.
I'd like to get her something at Sephora because I'm only a few dollars away from VIB again for next year.
Spending limit is $50 but I'd spend up to $75 ish if needed.
Any ideas? What would you like as a random gift from your SIL?

What about one of the newer palettes? The too faced chocolate bonbons looks pretty, maybe a Kat von D one? The makeup board girls know all the good stuff, ask over there!
I don't like it when people buy me makeup or fragrance so unless you are buying her something you know she already loves I wouldn't go the Sephora route. I've been wearing these earrings nonstop for the past few weeks. I bought them for my sis and SIL for Xmas. www.loft.com/triangle-stone-stud-earrings/391504
From Sephora I love love love the PuffOff but she may not appreciate that you think she needs undereye bag removal. I also got the NARS Matte Lip Pencil as the birthday bonus and really liked it.
I agree with everyone else that unless you know what she uses, I would skip Sephora unless it is a gift card which is what I buy my 25 y/o sister and she loves it. That way she can get what she loves and not pay. She is currently recruiting us to buy things since she is $150 from Rouge.
Does she have Pinterest? That is where I pull ideas from. I am currently stuck on my family Secret Santa since I got my BIL.
How about a scarf, really nice slippers, something from LLL? One year I bought my sisters Vinyasa scarves and they loved them. My SIL is getting a sweater from AE because they shipped me three and I think she will like it.

Thanks all for your input! She updated her Elfster wish list and I picked up a Kat Von D "shade and light" set that she picked out. And I got my VIB again for next year
