If you’re still looking for a gift that is practical but meaningful, you might consider heading over to Beauty Encounter to check out their products!

They have skincare, hair care, bath and body, items for the home, and perfumes and colognes.

I was sent Ralph Lauren Hot, and I loved the scent.  It was strong enough to last the whole day, but wasn’t overwhelming or powerful.  Even though it’s more of a summer scent, the “Sensual Mocha Cream, Spicy Cinnamon, Luscious Maple” seemed to make this perfume to work in other seasons (such as fall when I’ve been using it!).

I also have Terre D’Hermes to give to my husband for Christmas this year (shh!), but I did try it out.  On my own wrist.  Without completely thinking.  Let’s just say that the scent is very manly and should not be worn on my wrist.  :(  I’m sure, though, that I’ll love it on my husband.  🙂
