Holiday Gift Guide 2016: Stocking Stuffers for Her

Stockings are, hands down, my favorite part of Christmas morning. Growing up, the rule was that Kir and I were allowed to open our stockings as soon as we woke up. However, we weren't allowed to start opening our other presents until the whole family was awake and our parents had had at least one cup of coffee! 

My mom always filled our stockings with the cutest little things -- nail polishes, lotions, shower gel, pens, candles -- and I still, even as an adult, get excited over Christmas stockings! 

Here are some adorable little stocking stuffers for the ladies in your life...

Dollface perfumes is an elegant and romantic perfumery. All of the fragrance labels feature gorgeous Victorian women and each scent has a unique, ethereal – almost other worldly – names.

 Brandywine

This scent is a long lasting perfume that will keep you smelling sophisticated and sensual all day long! Notes of sandalwood and brandy mix with softer hints of orchids to create an exquisite fragrance that will keep all who encounter you intrigued and tantalized by your scent. 

Heart Song:

This perfume is a light and airy floral scent with a hint of sweet berries! It is perfect for younger girls or those women who prefer a softer scent. This is Kir’s favorite scent from Dollface Perfumes. She thinks it is a perfect every day fragrance! 

White Chocolate Lace

For those with a sweet tooth or those who enjoy desert type scents – this perfume is for you. This fragrance smells of pure melted white chocolate and would be perfect for any chocolate lover on your gift list. 

 

Lust:

With notes of almond, jasmine, sandalwood, vanilla, and musk, this is an incredibly complex and sensual scent. This scent is long lasting and the various notes emerge as the day goes on and the perfume warms with your body heat. This perfume is likely to leave anyone coming into contact with you wishing for more!

Haunted

This is my favorite Dollface Perfume fragrance. With notes of daisy, iris, and purple flowers, this perfume offers a fresh floral scent that lasts throughout the day. The perfume starts off subtle and gets increasingly more fragrant as the day goes on. The perfume is absolutely intoxicating and incites visions of fields of daisies and carefree afternoons.

Scent-sational Gift Ideas Day #1: Maddieloos' Lavender Sage & Lime Ginger Musk Perfume

Getting a new bottle of perfume for Christmas is always one of my favorite gifts. It is the scent for the upcoming New Year – the way you’ll smell for 365 days – 8,765.81 hours – 525,949 minutes! Okay – I’m being a little melodramatic, but SERIOUSLY! One’s scent can be a big turn off (or turn on!) 

I wanted to let you all in on a little secret – the best scents aren’t located behind glass counters at high end department stores. Nope! The most fabulous fragrances are being concocted in the homes of artisan perfume artists around the country. Small Town Sisters has tested some incredible perfumes and will be reporting our favorites all week long! Let’s get started!

If you haven’t heard of Maddieloos, get on your computer right now and check out this shop! Handcrafted in Washington, this shop owner offers 65 different fragrances, bottled in 1/3 ounce bottles with a roll on applicator. The bottle is packaged in a little card board container, complete with label and adorable decorative washi tape!

 

These perfumes are created with organic sunflower oil, fragrance, and essential oil – no Phtalate, alcohol, or DPG! Sounds good to me! And at $6.50 a bottle, you can afford to try as many scents as your heart desires!

I had the opportunity to try Lavender Sage and Lime Ginger Musk! What an incredible scent! At first, the most powerful notes are lavender and lime, which make for a refreshingly therapeutic combination. The lime energizes, while the lavender soothes. After a few hours the scent of sage sets in and provides a bit of aromatherapy for my afternoon work load at the office. A hint of ginger lingers from beginning to end. This scent is long lasting – so if you’re worried that hand crafted perfumes won’t be strong enough – have no fear – Madieloos will keep your smelling “scent-sational” all day long! 

Some other scents that sound tantalizing include: rosemary mint and lime, bourbon vanilla bean and chocolate, and lemon freesia and Hawaiian wedding flower! 

Hope y’all had a happy Thanksgiving!
