Countdown to Valentine’s Day: Beauty and Fashion Gifts for Mom

Have you picked out a gift yet for your Valentine?   We at trendymommies see many great gift ideas in beauty and fashion. Here are just a couple that came across our desk and are perfect for the Valentine in your life.

Want something different to give mom? It’s not a scarf or jewelry but a Jewelry Scarf form the company camibands.  This is so fun and at 80 inches in length the styling possibilites are endless. Use as a scarf, a belt a necklace or even a hair accessory. At $24.99 you can buy more than one!

As moms we love a bit of pampering so of course we love the items at QVC!  The Laura Geller Gloss on the go ($30.00) from QVC is a great buy with multiple glosses in a cute make-up case in the shape of lips. The Josie Maran Be Comforted Body Butter ($32.00) is so soothing and smells great. Mom will love it!

If you are a traditional gift giver any of the yummy chocolate treats from LINDOR chocolate would be a welcome gift (hint, hint: for those dads out there) We love the  Elegance Heart (10.6 oz. for $14.99) filled with delicious LINDOR Milk Chocolate truffles and are sure to melt the heart of your Valentine. The new Mini Sticks Bag (4.9 oz for $3.99, makes a great gift for the kids) This small bag of delicious assortments of Strawberry Cheesecake, Caramel Brownie, Cookies and Cream and Crunchy Nougat chocolate mini sticks are just enough to keep on your desk and have handy when a chocolate craving strikes.   We also love the Classic Romance Heart (9.8 oz. for $19.99). This romantic heart is filled with delectable classic assorted praline chocolates and is the perfect gift!

Grammy Awards Fashion

It is awards season and that means time to discuss fashions hits and misses.  I usually fast forward through the Grammy awards telecast but since I have tweens they wanted to watch the whole thing!

So here is my recap. For this type of awards ceremony we expect the unexpected. A little bit of wild, leather, lace, out of the ordinary but this time it felt like the Oscars. (which isn’t necessarily a bad thing)  LOVED Taylor Swift’s Gucci dress.  Although I see what she was trying to accomplish – fun and music – I did not care for Katie Perry’s dress.  Loved the color of Miranda Lambert’s dress but it felt more like an Oscar’s dress than Grammy Awards.  Paris Hilton, just no. Same for the zebra dress Paula Patton was wearing. My favorite dress was the one Colbie Callat was wearing.  I always love a red dress and this one was perfect.

Finally the hat – you know which one. Everyone is talking about it and I guess that is why it makes news – it was odd, out of the ordinary and unexpected but isn’t that what the Grammy Awards fashions are all about?

Still Christmas Shopping? Last minute stocking stuffers, etc.

You mean you have not completed shopping yet? It’s ok…I still have some last minute gifts to get.  My girls always like to head to Staples for supplies and cute items that they say they need every week!   A gift card is just what to get them.  Staples not only has great office supplies but during the holidays they have great gifts – from chocolate, gift sets and of course office decor that will brighten any one’s day.  If you are looking for a gift for a co-worker or a last minute gift, stop into their retail store.  Here are some of the fun items from Staples (the scotch tape dispenser is the best for the dog lover in your family)

Brookstone is another favorite.  (you know you stop in there every time you pass by it in the mall!)   Several years ago I bought their towel warmer (love it) and of course those remote control airplanes…. To keep your kids occupied during winter break check out their newest, fun product Sand!

THIS will keep them occupied…trust me. And it does not make a mess.

Your tween will love the bop speaker as it sticks to anything!  Happy last minute shopping!
