Got A Pink-Lover On Your Shopping List?
It's no secret that women of all ages love the color pink - it has even been scientifically proven! Chances are you have a pink lover among your friends or family, and need to come up with new, fun gift ideas for Birthdays/Christmas/Valentine's Day/Other Special Occasions. I've selected a few gifts I know I would love to receive.
Weleda's Rose Body Oil Containing only biodynamically grown ingredients from Weleda's own gardens in Germany, this body oil softens your skin naturally without any artificial or toxic ingredients. The mix of musk rose, almond and jojoba oils helps your skin retain its moisture and elasticity, and smells great too (just the right amount of rose). It comes in a deep blue glass bottle with a hot pink label. Save it and use it as a rustic vase once you've used up the oil - it looks great with a single flower in it. Around $25.
Corkscrew Trust the French to invent a wine opener they describe as "sensual"! L'Atelier du Vin's stylish "Chic Lady" corkscrew ($44) comes in both hot and pale pink, and has a patented "swing system" which makes pulling the cork out of the bottle totally effortless. I'd add a bottle of wine to go along with it; a nice ros preferably (but please stay away from the White Zin!).
Bialetti Cappuccino Maker If your pink-lover is into coffee, this one is sure to be a hit. With its black base, handle and top knob, pink upper half and lid, and Bialetti's adorable logo, it's so cute I'd keep it on my stove all the time. But it's not all looks - it also makes delicious cappuccino right on your stovetop. Just put water in the base, coffee in the filter, milk in the top, and within minutes, you'll have two cups of creamy, delicious cappuccino. Around $90.
Flip Video MinoHD Is it the world's smallest camcorder? No (Spy Gadgets sells one the size of a stick of gum), but it's still tiny: it only measures 3.94"x1.97"x0.63" and weighs 3.3oz. And it is definitely the cutest - you get to design it. There are tons of existing styles to choose from, but you can also create your own pattern, or even upload a photo and use that! A few important specs: 4GB memory, internal rechargeable battery, built in USB connector, 1.5" LCD screen, ultra-low light sensitivity, 2x digital zoom, f/2.4 lens, tripod mount. $209-$229.
Samsung TL9 Digital Camera The metallic bubblegum pink Samsung TL9 is not only a great little camera; it's also a jack-of-all-trades. Packed into its stylish body are also MP3 and multimedia players, a text viewer, camcorder, and voice recorder. The camera part features 10.2 megapixles, a 5x optical zoom, a (35mm equivalent) focal length of 38 ~ 190mm, dual image stabilization, face, smile and blink detection, and a beauty shot mode which automatically retouches facial skin. Dashboard-style dials tell you how much battery life and memory you have left. It's tiny too: 3.7×2.3×0.8" and 4.9 oz. $229-$253.
Cell Phones by Vertu Nokia-subsidiary Vertu operates out of a super-secure building in the English countryside, where expert craftsmen assemble these luxury phones by hand using precious metals and stones inside and out. Never heard of them? Most people haven't, Vertu does not advertise in the US (but they are pretty widely available here).
Their Constellation collection includes the Core Range in polished stainless steel and bright pink leather, the Precious Range in black leather and 18 carat rose gold, and the Monogram Range's "Cerise", in stainless steel and a pink leather patterned back. All measure 4.3×1.7×0.6", weigh around 5 oz, have Bluetooth email and speakers, and work in over 180 countries.
If you're really in the mood to splurge, check out their Signature Diamonds collection. The Rose Gold Pink Diamonds phone in black, framed with a flower-design border, is made from white and pink diamonds, pink sapphires and rubies. Perhaps a good gift for those who really want to go all out but aren't ready for that engagement ring quite yet
$6,000 and up might seem like a hefty price tag for a cell phone, but not only do you get an uber-chic, exclusive phone - you also, with the press of a button, get access to a round-the-clock concierge who will help you with everything from finding that perfect gift to putting together an itinerary for your honeymoon.
