Holiday Candle Must Haves | Blogmas Day 13

A week or so ago, Bath and Body works had one of their fabulous sales on the 3-wick candles and they were only $8.50. I absolutely love them and always stock up when they're on sale. They burn for 25-45 hours and they're so concentrated with the aromatic oils that literally one candle makes the whole house smell yummy, even hours after they've been extinguished. I ended up picking up four of my favorite holiday time scents and I thought I'd share with you guys which ones I picked up!

I'm a sucker for anything spicy and fruity, so Spiced Apple Toddy was immediately picked up before I had even made it through the doorway. It's a mix of "winter fruits, apple brandy & spiced plum to warm your holiday celebrations." This one has such a homey scent to it that reminds me of being back home during Christmas. The packaging looks like a present with gold "ribbon" going down the front and red foiled ornaments on the label. 

Another must have was 'Tis the Season. It's a  "rich, fruity scent of red apples, green pine & golden cider captures the joy of the season." This one is divine. It's such a comforting smell for me and I always buy a similar candle to this each year. It has a cute winter scene with a snowman and a dog, so spot on for display this time of year. 

Next is Champagne Toast. It's described as "an effervescent blend of champagne, juicy nectarine and blackcurrant." It's a light fruity scent with a touch of citrus. It's very fresh smelling, ideal for during the day. This label is similar to Spiced Apple Toddy only with gold detailing. 

Last up was one I knew I wanted when I first saw it online and that's Frosted Cranberry. It's a delicious mix of white cranberry, juicy peach & ripe red raspberries. It's not too overpowering, not too fruity and just light enough to not give me a headache like other fruity smells. This one is downright yummy and so perfect for winter. 

What are your favorite B&BW candles? It's so hard to choose just a few! Thanks for reading and have an amazing day!

Holiday Gift Ideas For Him | Blogmas Day 12

A few days ago I posted a gift guide more geared towards the ladies, and today I have a few gift ideas for the men in your life. For me it’s always harder to shop for a man, but I managed to find some really awesome things for this list. Enjoy and maybe you’ll get some good ideas for the guys on your shopping list.

***

Nothing is better than a good smelling man and Gucci GuiltyPour Homme is an amazing cologne. It has a yummy blend of citrus, patchouli, and sandalwood and it creates a scent that’s all at once fresh and clean, while being woodsy and bold.

***

Although a bit more pricy, a Daniel Wellington watch is an amazing gift to give. They’re timeless (no pun intended) watches and super elegant, but still low key enough for everyday wear. Plus you can choose between a classic leather band or a more modern fabric color-block band.

***

Who says that bath and shower goodies are just for girls? Surprise him with this Jack Black 'The JackPack' gift set. The set comes with a face moisturizer, a shave cream, a hand healing lotion and a soap bar.

***

Cuddle up to your guy under this cozy fleece blanket representing his favorite team. If he’s into sports, he’ll love anything with his team on it, so why not get something functional like a throw? Perfect for napping on the couch, or taking to games during the cold weather.

***

I love gifting something cozy for the winter month’s so these Ralph Lauren pajamas are a great idea. They’re lightweight but still warm so he won’t have to worry about overheating or being too cold. Gift them with a warm pair of slippers as an extra.

***

Nothing feels better than a nice relaxing massage. Men love massages too so a gift certificate for a hour of relaxation would be a welcome surprise for anyone on your list. Treat yourself too and make it a couple’s massage for the two of you.

***

If the man on your list is a music or fitness buff (or both!), try gifting him a pair of the Beats by Dr. Dre Powerbeats wireless ear buds. They’re sleek and tangle free and perfect for tossing in the gym bag or for going on a run without the hassle of wires.

***

A good leather wallet makes a perfect gift. There are tons of options out there but my personal fav is this gorgeous leather wallet  from Bosca. Its slim and elegant and sure to be a hit.

***

Well I know its not much as far as ideas, but hey, my forte is beauty, but I hope you found this post helpful or maybe it at least got the wheels turning about what to gift a special man in your life. Thank you for reading!

xoxo
