Arriving at the homes of friends for parties and get togethers, Girlawhirl always brings along a gift for the host or hostess. But when the holidays roll around, she includes extra little goodies for all the kids in the house. They love to be included in the merriment, and she finds that it's the simplest treats that put a smile on their faces…
What little girl wouldn't flip for a deliciously flavored lip gloss any day of the year? The Temptations Collection from Bath & Body Works is just the ticket for holiday fun. Girlawhirl can't wait to hand out these great smelling lip glosses. Truthfully, she can't decide if she likes the fresh vanilla scent of “Twisted Peppermint” ™, the sweet fruity smelling “Glittery Gumdrop” ™ or the delicious brown sugar and gingerbread aroma of “Sugar and Spice” ™ best. She'll have to let the girls decide.
Since lip gloss is not an option for boys, Girlawhirl's found something deliciously clever to share instead. This year all of the little guys are finally getting what their moms have been threatening Santa would deliver… a big lump of coal. Only LesserEvil's coal is something they'll actually look forward to opening, because it's made of yummy kettle corn dipped in delicious dark cocoa. And even better, Girlawhirl won't feel guilty about giving junk food, because Cocoa Coal is low fat, all natural, trans-fat free and Vegan. All Girlawhirl can say is if this was the same coal her parents threatened her with for all those years, she wouldn't have stressed so much that Santa was going to stiff her. (See below for a special discount on a 4-Pack of Cocoa Coal from LesserEvil).
For a gift for young siblings, a book is just right. And Saks Fifth Avenue's limited edition children's holiday book, Snowpeople, written by Rick and Ryan Zeeb and illustrated by Trish Burgio is perfect. It's a fun story that ends – where else – at Saks, where the snowpeople rebel against their charcoal buttons and top hats and outfit themselves as they please. The perfect inspiration for young shoppers everywhere! And Saks will donate $2 from the sale of each book to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital's 2007 Thanks & Giving Campaign.
