We love the fruity and lightness of this perfume (we recommend it for the teenager). This set includes a 3.3.oz Eau de Toilette Spray, a Body Lotion and a Shower Gel.
Hanae Mori Butterfly Perfume Gift Set ($60)
We love this (ahem) Butterfly themed perfume gift set for several reasons. First, the fragrance, which is a blend of berries and flowers that doesn't smell like a Magnolia Bakery cupcake. It has notes of strawberries and almond. The bottle is absolutely stunning, almost like Lalique, and naturally the top of the bottle represents the ethereal-looking butterfly wings. This set includes a 1 oz Eau de Toilette Spray, a Roll On AND a scarf.
Sephora Favorites Collector's Edition Fragrance Sampler for Her ($75)
If your recipient is undecided, has many moods or loves the entire gamut of perfume notes, then you'll want to get her this. It includes seven samples from top-selling fragrances including Juicy Couture's Eau de Parfum, Ralph Lauren Romance, Marc Jacobs Daisy, DKNY Be Delicious, Dior Addict, Givenchy Very Irresistible Givenchy, and Stella McCartney. It's like giving her a chocolate sampler box.
Marc Jacobs' Lola ($45-$85)
This is one of the blockbuster 2009 perfumes and we love it because it embodies a very spirited, playful yet sexy girl who loves to take risks. And the notes of peppercorn, pear, ruby red grapefruit create a sparkling cocktail that will aim to dazzle. There are warm notes in this fragrance too: those of vanilla and warm tonka beans. For a Limited Time, enter the code LOLA on checkout and get a free cosmetics case, mini rollerball and lotion if you buy the 3.4 oz perfume.
Oh, and we love the Lola Limited Edition Perfume Ring!
D&G Le Bateleur Gift Set ($69)
Dolce & Gabbana's Le Bateleur perfume set has so many notable fragrances that it's a shame to gift only one.This is a seven piece set and includes a case and sampler of all five fragrances including a full-size $65 value 3.3 oz Eau de Toilette Spray of Le Bateleur (#1), which I think is the most romantic of the D&G new fragrances. It has a blend of aromatics and vetiver. The set also includes L'Imperatrice (#3), L'Amoureux (#6), La Roue de la Fortume (#10) and La Lune (#18).
Banana Republic Republic of Men Gift Set ($49)
We love this gift set from Banana Republic for the man in your life -- and it's so attractively priced at $49, how could you pass this up? It's masculine with dewy sage and basil and it has a sexy hint of sandalwood. We're crazy about it.
Victoria's Secret Velvet Amber Blackberry Fragrance Gift Bag ($19)
Some astute critic once said that if brown velvet could talk, it would speak with Alan Rickman's voice. An attractive thougth, yes? No one objects to hearing velvet. Victoria's Secret goes even further in the velvet sensory experience by attempting to capture the smell of the fabric with their latest addition to their Parfums Intimes, Velvet Amber Blackberry. The sweet, dark scent of blackberries take center stage, with amber and Turkish rose playing supporting roles. And how can you pass up this beautifully priced gift bag?
The 3-Minute Shower Bath Bar comes in three varieties. The Champaka/Neroli (shown) is for sensitive skin and has butters and also organic fine sugars to gently exfoliate skin. It's also nut free. I liked the sensitive skin version of the bar but I found it a little difficult to bathe with. It doesn't lather like most soaps (well, because it's sulfate free also). It really is very good for sensitive skins but if you want a soap that lathers, you may find this product is not for you. The White Orchid Vanilla version is for all skin types and contains brown sugar for exfoliation, and the Ancient Amber/ Black Cardamom version has walnut sheets and bamboo for deep exfoliation.
The 3-Minute Shower in a Jar ($65) is an exfoliant that is brimming with organic coconut and butters. I have the White Orchid Vanilla and I simply love the scent. This is a very effective product and it makes me feel like a natural woman - seriously! You can seriously skip the lotion after this ritual. It comes in the same flavors as the Body Bar (Champaka/ Neroli and Ancient Amber/ Black Cardamom). You can also get refills of this product without purchasing the container. Oh, and I love the hand carved wooden spoon and dish for the body bar; they are fashioned from reclaimed wood and handcrafted in Vermont.
The Body Veil ($75) is my favorite product in this line. It is a silky, dry mist that is made from essential oils. The light dry oil has kept my skin beautifully conditioned and soft throughout these harsh winter months and it smells AMAZING to boot. If I were to put a golden star on any of these products, this Veil would get it, for sure. It's also nut free for those who are allergic. The mist also comes in the three varieties I mentioned above.
The Body Balm ($65) is a luxurious treat for the skin. It's small in size and therefore very travel friendly. The Champaka/Neroli is my favorite. Remember that little Lilliputian gadget called the Zeno? The one that promised to zap your zits away in a mere 24 hours? Well the new and improved TINY version (think iPod shuffle version) is here, gals! This is such an economically-friendly alternative to your higher priced...
