One year, I received the “I Wrote a Book About You” Fill-in-the-Blank Book from my SO and it meant so much to me.

LED face masks are a splurge worth making for your wife to incorporate into her skincare regimen. We recommend the Therabody TheraFace Mask as it features 648 medical-grade LED lights that give the skin the benefits of Red, Red + Infrared and Blue light to the entire face.
