  If you have a friend who works in the beauty industry, you may want to give her a novelty gift that reflects her work, encourages her in her field and provides her with a small token of your appreciation. There are many different kinds of beauty novelty gifts, from custom canvas makeup bags to lip gloss. Select a novelty gift you think your friend will identify with and use.
  
  

Canvas Beauty Bag

• Order a customized canvas beauty bag that can be used to carry makeup and other beauty essentials to work or to take on assignment. When not at work, the bag can be used to carry grocery store purchases or beach items for a day in the sun. Select a bag that has a beauty-themed graphic on its face. Examples from online vendors include the following images for a Hairstylist: The word "Hairstylist" with a graphic of a pair of scissors, the words "My Heart Belongs to a Cosmetologist," and the words "I'm a Hairstylist. I could tell you stories that would CURL your hair" with a graphic of curling irons.
  
  

Makeup Sampler

• Fill a small beauty bag with a variety of colors from your recipient's favorite makeup line or purchase a makeup sampler from a cosmetic company. This will provide the individual with a special treat and give her an opportunity to experiment with the different products produced by the company. Find out what company the recipient prefers as some individuals can be picky about the types of makeup they use.
  
  

Personalized Eye Mask and Relaxation Basket

• Fill a gift basket with simple items to help the recipient relax after a long day on her feet. Consider items such as a wide, fragrant candle, a chocolate bar, a coffee mug filled with chamomile tea and a personalized eye mask available from an online vendor. The eye mask can be embroidered with the recipient's name, a special message or words such as "Sleeping Beauty."
