    This holiday season, give the gift of perfect brows (or at least the resources to achieve them) to your dearest beauty-obsessed friend. Tweezerman not only boasts the most popular tweezers known to man (a little on the pricey side but definitely worth the splurge!), but now in time for the holidays, the brow experts have just released a collection of limited edition tools, perfect for the makeup maven on your list. This particular winter-inspired style, the Polka Dot Slant Tweezers, are festively cute in red and white, and are encrusted with Swarovski crystals for that extra twinkle. If you're going to opt for a pair of high-end tweezers, you might as well go all out, right?


    Price: $40

    Got a lipgloss addict on your list of gal pals to shop for this holiday season? Search no more -- Stila has just released the ultimate gift set for anyone who loves sampling their famous brush-on lip glaze at the makeup counter but just can't bring themselves to spend more than $20 a pop! The Lip Glaze Holiday Collection consists of eight slightly-shrunken versions of their gloss for just $25! Four of the colors are best-sellers -- from Kitten (golden caramel) to winter-festive Cranberry (deep red) -- while the other four are brand new! Eight stellar shades at just a fraction of their $80 value? Sounds like a deal I need to jump on, stat! Of course, I should probably hold off on shopping for myself until after I start shopping for my friends and family...

    Hot In The Hive: Philosophy Winter Escape Set

    What is it about festive drinks like hot apple cider and eggnog that gets me into the holiday mood (even when the unseasonable 70 degree weather outside is really betraying my pre-Christmas spirit)? No matter what the forecast, one sip of hot chocolate and I'm instantly transported out of my uncomfortable heels and straight to the ski lodge, all warm and cozy in a Snuggie (or not). But what's even better -- now you can enjoy the yummy winter-warmness of the season even in the shower! Philosophy's Winter Escape Set comes complete with a trio of peppermint hot chocolate-themed products: shower gel, lotion, and lip shine, all wrapped in an adorable winter cottage box. Sure, it's not the same as drinking cocoa by the fire (I'm pretty sure downing this won't taste good), but lathering up with anything cocoa and marshmallow-scented, paired with the comfy steaminess of your shower, is probably the next best thing! The set also makes a super cute gift to anyone who loves at-home pampering!

    WhatsWear Has Discovered A Way To Tweet In Gold And Diamonds

    Twitter just became a whole lot more relevant to me. For today I learned that Twitter can now be something I wear around my neck... in gold.. and diamonds. Survival of the Hippest is a hot new accessories line inspired by the same social networking system that caused Miley Cyrus to rap and LL to fight even more publicly with Samantha Ronson. Using your TwitterName (or "hashtag" comment if you know what the hell this is), SOTH creates beautiful jewelry -- fairly reminiscent of the name necklaces made popular by Carrie Bradshaw. They are custom-made out of sterling silver, 14k gold and [drool] diamonds, and can be placed on a necklace, a key chain, a bracelet, an anklet or a pin. As SOTH pointed out, wearing your Twitter ID around a visible body part will helpfully point you out to your virtual friends, who they note "may not recognize you from your proper name or tiny Twitter picture"... seriously, a SOTH piece isn't just fashionable, it is your gilded token to making actual flesh-and-blood friends! Also, we must mention these necklaces and bracelets work perfectly as a fun layering piece or as a unique present for your friend who has everything. You can even show these Twitterific pieces to your grandchildren while explaining the Twitter phenomenon. Think about it, they'll most likely be vintage in just a couple decades! When you're not busy tweeting, don't forget to visit our friends at WhatsWear for more unique design finds!

    Hot In The Hive: Vazu Foldable Vases

    The forever-old custom of giving flowers as gifts would be a whole lot easier if you didn't have to worry about the glass vase not surviving the car ride over to the housewarming party you're attending. Vases usually aren't cheap, they break too easily, and they take up lots of precious storage room when you're too busy to keep them full of fresh-picked flowers. Apparently the masterminds behind the Vazu Foldable Vase had the same frustrations regarding flower-giving. The Vazu vase comes flat in its package and expands to form a sturdy, free-standing vase that you can fill with water and put on display with your flower arrangement. When you're finished, it re-folds easily back into its package for simple storage, and at only $4.99, you can afford to give it as part of a gift -- no broken glass and no lending out your grandma's old vase with the chance you'll never get it back! It even comes in a ton of colorful patterns that can coordinate with any bouquet arrangement. Check out the selection at the Vazu site!


    Price: $4.99 each

    Ida Hsiang on июн 16, 2009 10:22 AM PDT
    If buying my mom a good Mother's Day gift was challenging, buying a Father's Day gift is nearly impossible! Already, there is a sharp decrease in the amount of beauty products, jewelry, apparel and fragrances that are marketed for men. My dad already has everything that he wants and if he doesn't have it, it probably means he can't afford it and if he can't afford it, I definitely can't! So year after year, right about now, I start racking my brains for something that is cool, unique and re-usable. After extensive research and many tiring hours of online shopping, I have come up with a list for myself as well as anyone else who has a hard father to shop for. From the quirky but practical, like a front-pocket wallet to help relieve dad's back stress and deter pick-pockets or a sweet and sentimental personalized photo night-light, you'll be able to find something for you dad who has everything! Your dad would probably buy you the moon if he could. Well, you can beat him to it and buy him an acre of celestial land, complete with a deed and documents! Workaholics, wine aficionados, gourmet gardeners and all those in between, check out this slideshow for some original Father's Day gifts that your doting dad is sure to love!
