Holiday 2008 - Molton Brown

It's always a good holiday in my home if I find Molton Brown under the tree. The Brit brand's luxe pampering goodies are a treat for the senses - beautifully packaged, heavenly scented and great for the skin and the hair.

This season's special holiday offerings include gorgeous travel sets for men & women and gifts of home fragrance that are just perfect for the hostess.  Bring one of these babies to dinner and you'll be a favorite guest, trust me! Click through the gallery to see my Molton Brown wishlist.

Holiday 2008 Wishes, Gifts from Philosophy

Few beauty brands are as eminently giftable as Philosophy, and this Holiday season is no different.

Whether you're shopping for an office Secret Santa, stuffing the stocking of your niece or sister or indulging your overworked friend in some pampering, Philosophy has a gift set for you this season.

My favorites of the collection are the new Celebrate! trio of champagne scented 3-in-1s (above, center) and The Holiday Cookbook (above, right), a set of six yum scented 2oz 3-in-1s that could be broken up into multiple gifts or spoil just one recipient.

Shop Philosophy at Nordstrom stores, Sephora or via www.philosophy.com.
