What are some good skin/beauty (NOT MAKEUP) products to give a girl turning 18 for her birthday?

I'm only 12 and my sister's birthday is coming up. I want to get her a skin/beauty product but I don't know what. I'm also on a tight budget- $20 or less. Please don't say the Neutrogena Wave, she doesn't want that.

1. i really like the "burt's bees" products, especially their "honey lip balm" (it's like chapstick, so NOT make-up). they've got good lotions and cool bath sets. you could get her something like that!
2. nice smelling facial scubs, or masks.
3. You know what? I think you should get her like a gift basket full of body and shower products. They always have that no matter what time of the year, and it's already wrapped for you and makes a great gift. Plus, I find some that are just $15!! Inside, there's usually a whole bunch of stuff including.. body wash, lotions, shampoos and conditioners sometimes, soap bars, and lots of other cool stuff. Each basket has a "theme" and it will look great when you give it to her!
4. i love the mary kay facial line. the timewise lotions and washes are great and make my skin feel so smooth. i wish i would have dsicovered them sooner!
5. Go for something like body lotion , i mean go somewhere like walmart or target they sometimes have GREAT body stuff , i mean even some hand lotion or nail pollish would be good. If you have enough get her 1 nail pollish 1 lip gloss n 1 mascaraand then a little makeup bag xxx
6. Anything that contains sunscreen. At 18, she still has a chance to have beautiful, unlined skin in 20 or 30 yrs. Now's the time to start if she hasn't already.
7. Give her some good moisturizer, everyone should use it. Just stay away from ones with fragrance and oil. I like the one from CLINIQUE, it is called "Dramatically Different" I wouldn't be without it ! You are a nice sister to be doing this research for her gift. :-)
