Secret Santa Gift Poll - which would you rather? (OR give ideas!)

I have my cousin's fiancé for this year's secret santa with our family. I have 2 ideas for gifts for her and I cant choose. Which would you rather receive? Our limit was $60.

ETA: I'm open to any suggestions for gift ideas under $60. She's 25 and they have no date yet for their wedding, so I'm steering clear of wedding-related things.

Option 1: Marc Jacobs Daisy Trio (it's 3 rollerballs of different Marc Jacobs perfumes)

Option 2: VS Pink hoodie sweatshirt & VS Pink Zip top Tote Bag

VS tote and sweat outfit. Would totally wear that a lot more than I'd use the perfumes.

Tote would be cute to bring for their honeymoon or even wear on the plane. I think perfume is a specific taste and not always used. JMO

Then again I'm not in my twenties anymore and just engaged with no kids. LOL!

I would much prefer the tote and sweatshirt. Certain perfumes give me headaches (Daisy being one of them) so perfume is really something I need to pick out myself.

Do you know her style well enough to know she would wear that? I said neither, but I'm way too old to pull that outfit off. But my 16 year old would wear it.

If you've seen her wear hoodies/Pink products, I'd say go with that. If not, the perfume.

Me personally, I'd rather the perfume and I'm not a huge perfume person because I don't really wear hoodies and have a million totes.

Me too. I also don't wear perfume though so that wouldn't be good for me.

Are you set on these items?

Neither -

I love perfume but I hate the Daisy fragrances - Sephora has a sampler that has a bunch of samples and you can turn your fave in for a full bottle.

I also would never wear a sweatshirt like that.

How old is she?

Not to offend but I voted Neither. There are so many other options. I would shop around for alternatives.

When are they getting married? Is their invite out yet? If so, I would get the invite framed. If not, maybe something for the wedding, like a bride robe. I personally voted neither - I hate perfume and the pink stuff.

I chose neither. I don't wear anything with logos and I have a very hard time with perfumes, most make me sick. So if it's not my perfume, it'll probably go in the garbage. Unless of course you know she already wears those perfumes and like Pink stuff!

Re: Secret Santa Gift Poll - which would you rather?

To be honest, I don't live either option. But I do love a lot f the gift sets in Sephora right now. I bought myself a lip gloss set the other day. I was eyeing a really nice mascara gift set. I think it was $62.

Re: Secret Santa Gift Poll - which would you rather?

I voted for the perfume because I wouldn't use the tote or wear the logo hoodie. I know a lot of women that dislike the Marc Jacobs Daisy fragrances though. I agree with the Sephora sampler suggestion. I would def do that if you could.

This is the best gift ever (IMO! lol) I think it's closer to $75 but I think Sephora usually sends out a coupon around this time.

Sorry to crash but you spend 75 on a set of trial sized perfumes and if there's one you love, you trade that one in for a full sized bottle?or you pay for the full size?

58 or 62 for a bunch of samples and in that box there's a voucher for a 1.1oz bottle of your choice to redeem back at sephora. It's great!
