Perfume gift ideas for Mother's Day, part 2

Posted by Robin on 1 May 2006 2 Comments

Continuing with more fragrance gift ideas for Mother's Day (see part 1 if you missed it)...

At left, from b-glowing, the adorable Fifi Chachnil purse spray ("1950's femininity at it's best"), $55 for 10 ml.

At right, an unusual gift for the fragrance fanatic: framed French antique perfume labels, available in lavender (shown), violettes or lait de soin, $28-30 at cosebella.


Above left, from lusciouscargo: a Tocca gift set in the popular Stella (blood orange) fragrance, with 4 oz. shower gel, 4 oz. body lotion and 2.85 oz. candelina, for $39.

Above right, marked down at apothia: a beautifully packaged Balinese Frangipani candle by Isola Luce, $25.50. Also available in Beach Plum, Gardenia and Breeze fragrances.


From Terranova, a tin of "tub tea" bath sachets in Red Tea & Cocoa Blossom. $21.95 at hamptonct.

More gift ideas coming later in the week...

    Oh these are all (including part one) such great ideas, R! I have never heard of the tea bath stuff you mention – that looks great. I wonder if it will smell as great as it looks?

    The Tocca Stella is a real crowd pleaser for gifts I've found – I gave some wee sets I made up myself away for Christmas presents this year, and everyone came back later to rave about the scent to me after they'd used the stuff up!

    K, I have the Terranova lotion in that scent…it is nice, but not my very favorite. Probably depends on your taste. And yes…I want that Stella gift set!
