LUXE PERFUMES IN FUN SIZE BOTTLES

We are nearing the home stretch of the holiday shopping season. What’s probably first and foremost on your mind is getting that perfect gift for those special people on your list. Sure, it can be an overwhelming task to make a good choice. You’re not certain of the taste of everyone you want to buy  Christmas presents for but you have to do your best. By gifting them with an assortment of sumptuous perfume minis you are practically guaranteed that there will be at least one or two that they will fall in love with.

I’m firmly convinced that absolutely nobody can resist a miniature size of something exquisite. This year there are more options than ever ranging from Advent Calendars to Discovery Boxes and beyond. They are filled with charming bottles and vials that can easily be popped into a bag without their having to lug around the full-size version. By gifting multiple minis, you offer her/him the opportunity to pick and choose what to fall in love with and profusely thank you for months to come.

You can check out these gorgeous, magical-smelling sets and gift boxes as perfect gift ideas for this Christmas.

Let’s ride!

Featuring 24 of their best products, L’Occitane’s Luxury Advent Calendar is a luxurious way to beautify the countdown to the holidays. A  fun and vibrant design adorns two towers which rotate a full 360 degrees and will brighten up any room. I look forward to L’Occitane’s Advent Calendar each year but this one tops them all.  The two perfumes included are Terre de Lumiere and Verbena; the other goodies are a delectable assortment of hand creams, body lotions, shower creams, soaps and shower gels. A number of products containing shea butter are in the mix, which is a great way to moisturize as the temperatures dip. It makes a wonderful gift or treat for yourself.

      Hi Violet,

      My deepest apologies but I just discovered this in a spam folder. I would be very interested in discussing this further so please let me know if the offer is still on the table. I was actually at the Clive Christian counter at a Sniffapalooza event in the fall and was very impressed!

      Regards and hope to hear back!
      Erica
