More Great Gifts For Women - Super Stocking Stuffers

76

By RedElf

It's not just because I'm a woman that I can say it's so easy to find great stocking stuffers for your special girls. There really are some incredible gifts out there for us, and I can tell you just where to find them - those perfect, unique gifts for Mom, for your girlfriend, your sister - for any lady on your shopping list.

From absolutely luscious bath products, hand-milled soaps, scented candles, and great golf accessories, to CDs, DVDs featuring the latest chick-flicks, and gift cards, your list of super stocking stuffers is only limited by your imagination.

I always love delving into my stocking on Christmas morning. It's always the first opened, the first enjoyed. There's an order to these things, as well.

Hancrafted Natural Soaps with Shea Butter & Olive Oil

Pre de Provence Soap, Lavender, 8.8 -Ounce Cello Wrap
Amazon Price: $7.00
List Price: $10.00
European Soaps Verbena Scented Pre De Provence 250g Product of France
Amazon Price: $7.00

Savon de Marseille with Crushed Local Flowers 300g-Lavender

The perfectly stuffed stocking contains, among other things, a fragrant Mandarin orange in the tippy-toe, some chocolate money in shiny, gold metallic wrappings, a handful of fresh nuts in the shell, some rich, dark chocolate truffles, and usually a few tissue wrapped bundles.

Sometimes the stocking contains a delicately scented package of French soap, or a new pair of nylons, expensive and sheer, with lacy embroidered tops. Whatever the treasures though, half the joy is in the discovery. The other half of the joy is at the thoughtfulness of the giver.

I learned to make soap many years and it is a highly rewarding pass-time. My family and friends were enchanted with the resulting birthday gift basket additions and stocking stuffers.

One of my sisters took it up with me, and we supplied a local Farmer's Market with our all-natural product. I loved the perfume oils and herbs we blended with the virgin olive oil or Shea butter base.

These lovely French soaps feature natural, traditional ingredients such as olive oil, Shea butter, essential oils and crushed flowers. The dried petals add a sweet fresh scent to these beautiful bars.

This delicately scented bar from Mistral was triple-milled in Provence.

Made from highest quality olive oil, palm oil, and coconut oils, and enriched with African Shea butter, it males a rich lather and leaves your skin silky smooth.

The two lotions above have one thing in common - they would be welcomed by almost any woman of taste and discernment. One is from the renown Ahava collection of fine toiletries, the other, a French product.

The first is a delectable offering from France, well known for haute couture and fabulous cosmetics. Enriched with Shea butter, this feather-light, silky soft lotion is so smoothing to the skin.

The Ahava lotion is another great offering from the Dead Sea Minerals collection, and only part of a full line of mineral cosmetics, many of which are available from Amazon, online..

Scanted Drawer Sachets

Scented Sachet - Verbena
Amazon Price: $10.00

This fun trio of sachets are just waiting to be tucked in a lingerie drawer and keep your undies fresh. Granny always kept sachets in her top drawers, among her hosiery, her hankies and gloves, and tucked in amidst what she called her "small clothes" - Granny-speak for lady's underwear.

Available in a variety of fragrances, they add a soothing scent to all your fine slips and undergarments.

Every Christmas we were sure to receive a lovely new sachet. My favorite was fresh lavender, until year I received a wonderful Bergamot scented set. I have a new favorite now.

I am such a big fan of green tea in all its luscious forms. I received a lovely set of green tea toiletries last Christmas, and some green tea and bamboo lotion for my birthday.The clean, creamy consistency is easily absorbed, and the light, fresh scent lingers gently.

The essential oils can be dropped into a diffuser, or added a few drops at a time to a light bulb ring - a light ceramic bisque circle that sits on a bare bulb. The heat of the bulb warms the ring and diffuses the delightful scent throughout the room.

I would love all these great things in my Christmas Stocking - but I would have to pack it myself! There has to be a tangerine in the toe though and a sugar mouse!
