December 14, 2007 : Fave Gift Site: Sephora & Get a Free Clutch
|
Remember being 14 and being so excited to get one of those huge makeup gift sets for Christmas?
Well, we don't know about you, but we wanna be giddy like that again! And we wanna give glam giddiness too.
Avoid the beeyotchy cosmetic counter girls at the mall and click on over to Sephora instead. They have so many fab gift sets this year.
We love Juicy and Prada's fragrance sets, Lorac's mini mocktail bar lipgloss set and the huge Sephora blockbuster makeup set. And, as fans of Bare Escentuals, we're also loving the Bare Escentuals Classic Rock Flawless Diamond 9-Piece Color Collection (a more affordable way to give diamonds this year).
Plus, when you spend $25 or more, you'll score a FREE darling sparkly silver clutch when you use code METALLIC at checkout.

December 13, 2007 : My Endless Love & Free OVERNIGHT Shipping
|
We think 2008 should be about everyday glamour and luxury. From your head down to your toe-ee-ooos.
Why not spread the luxury to the ladies (and men and kiddies) you love by giving the gift of shoes this holiday season?
Buying shoes as gifts used to be a risky proposition. What if they don't fit or they don't like the style? With all of the fabulous online shoe shops these days, all offering free return shipping, you can put those fears behind you.
In fact, Endless is offering not only FREE OVERNIGHT shipping, but overnight shipping is negative $5 (that's right, they take $5 off your order) and you get your order the very next day. Returns are totally free too for a full year and easy (pre-paid label included).
We'd love to receive bejeweled heels and cashmere slippers, Santa. And we'd love to give some luxury this year, too.
Plus, Endless carries fab handbags, clutches, wallets and brag books as well and is giving $20 off $100 orders of select handbags brands, $20 off $100 orders of select winter boots and select fashion boots, plus $10 off $50 orders of select slippers too, for a limited time. Whew.

December 12, 2007 : Hot for Hammacher
|
Whenever we're on the hunt for cool gifts for guys, parents and anyone with a penchant for the unexpected, we head to Hammacher Schlemmer.
Not only do we always find something great for the ones we love, from electronics, toys and games to home gadgets, accessories and more, but we love that Hammacher stands behind everything it sells with a lifetime guarantee.
In this day and age of dwindling customer service and fast, faster, fastest, we really appreciate that. And it's the reason why we chose Hammacher to buy our Roomba (after three years of wonderful use, we're now getting a brand new replacement and only have to pay the difference -- le sweet).
Some top picks? Any of the iPod accessories, like the Bose SoundDock, iPod Karaoke microphone (great for aspiring American Idols), Bluetooth Sports Helmet, the slide and negative to digital picture converter (for Dad), voice recognition grocery list organizer (for Mom) and the list goes on.

December 05, 2007 : The Perfect Gift for Jet Setters
|
Remember the glamour days of air travel?
Neither do we.
But we've finally found a fabulous solution to the things that irk us most when flying the unfriendly skies: arctic cold air, icky used pillows (if you're lucky enough to even nab one), wanting desperately to sleep it all away, but failing miserably, no matter how many Dramamine we've knocked back.
Say hello to the PamBee.
Designed by a flight attendant who knows we want to travel in style and comfort, the PamBee includes a silky blanket long enough to keep toes cozy, an inflatable pillow and a matching adjustable eye mask.
Available in several prints and solids, PamBee fits into any carry-on or tote and barely takes up any space due to the ingenious design (the blanket and eye mask slip right into the deflated pillow).
