Julibox ~ A Great Last Minute Gift idea

Though Christmas is the same day every year, sometimes it still sneaks up on us! I don't know how, but I still have a lot to wrap. There are others (ahem Dad) who still have shopping to do.

For those of you out there in the same boat- rather than fight store lines- monthly gift subscriptions are a great bet. There are ones for beauty lovers like Birchbox & Glossybox, ones for dog lovers like Barkbox,  health nuts have NatureBox & for those cocktail lovers out there like myself- there's Julibox!

I've given a Julibox shipment as a gift a few times when I've visited friends out of town. It's a great treat prior to your arrival or as a thank you after your departure.

The packaging is very high end & it's such fun to open, that I gifted myself a 6 month subscription (that seems to be a theme for me this holiday season....that's such a great gift- I'll get one for me & one for you!) All the liquor is supplied that is needed for 2 signature cocktail recipes that very monthly & are seasonally inspired- usually you'll need to supply something like lemon, some type of fruit or sugar.

Fabulous little touches...

Recipe one which we'll sample on Christmas Eve involves some bubbles...

This one looks like a winner any night of the week or just to unwind from all of the holiday running around. Whereas some subscription boxes I've signed up for end up leaving me with things I don't use- I find myself stepping outside of the traditional vodka 'box' (couldn't help myself) that I tend to stick with. There's enough to make 2 servings of each cocktail. I think it's a great last minute gift that costs $40/single shipment or $36/shipment for a 6 or 12 month subscription. Cheers!

Peace. Love. Lipgloss.

Going For Broke in NYC

When we saw these aprons, Partner in Crime & I just about died! How perfect would these be to wear while prepping & throwing a dinner party?

My favorite style is the pink leopard on the right. We scooped up several patterns and grabbed the coordinating dish gloves, too! I think this is about as cute as it get for a shower gift- yes?! Who says that being domestic means that you have to sacrifice on style? Not moi!

Going For Broke In NYC

Partner in Crime & I did the retail damage I knew we would while up in NYC buying for the boutique. This is one of our established lines, Tiramani. Doesn't the packaging just look edible? The delicate and ornate design is so delicious.

The packaging is newly revamped- I must say it is even more exquisite in person. Better yet, is what's inside. The most divine scent ever. Notes of Blood Orange and Night Blooming Jasmine are softly enhanced with White Nectarine, Madonna Lily and Cashmere Musk.

The fragrance is so fresh, it truly is universal in its appeal. It has developed a cult following at the store & with its new luxe packaging- it makes the most gorgeous gift!

Peace. Love. Perfume. M

Stay tuned all week for a sneak peek at what we scooped up in NYC. Tiramani will be available at our online store once our replenished stock arrives.

Wish List Wednesday

It's like fragrance bon bon style! You girls know how much I adore perfume- it can lift a gal's spirits so! This season, Bond No. 9 compiled a glorious collection of their scents. Each of their scents is named after a NYC neighborhood, like No. 9's Little Italy - a citrusy blend. Did I mention said compilation is so scrumptuously packaged, it looks good enough to eat? Twelve of the perfume house's downtown eaux de parfums are presented in 1.7 oz flacons, then arranged in a lush white keepsake box. This luxurious treat would bring a smile to any girl's face, especially her nose!

Peace. Love. Lipgloss. M
