CONS

None. I can’t fault this perfume at all.

 

Lacoste Touch of Pink – £29 – £55

This fragrance is a lot less serious than the Lancôme La Vie Est Belle and a lot cheaper. It is a vibrant and youthful fragrance worth trying. 

Lacoste Touch of Pink has both sweet and floral elements which make it a great perfume for young women. It features top notes of Orange, Coriander, Cardamom, Peach and Blood Orange, heart notes of Jasmine, Violet Leaf and Carrot Seeds and base notes of Sandalwood, Musk and Vanilla.

Tiny Gift Ideas for Her

September 28, 2017 By in Lifestyle Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , 11 Comments

I love receiving gifts. Receiving gifts on special occasions is amazing. What is even more amazing is when I receive a gift for no reason at all. That makes the gift so thoughtful and even more special. I believe tiny gifts are great for gifting on non special occasions. Do you agree?

Here are some amazing examples of tiny gift ideas for her.

 

Miniature Bottles of Wine

Who can say no to a good bottle of wine? I know I can’t. Miniature bottles of wine are great tiny gift ideas. I remember getting some in duty-free on Milan flight. They were so useful. Great for a whenever I am alone and need a glass of wine. I think they serve as great tiny gifts ideas.

Perfumes

Perfumes always make me a smile. I can never have enough bottles of perfumes. They make great gifts and are amazing tiny gift ideas for her or him. I like smiling nice and different everyday. So having a couple of perfumes always helps.

I currently have about 8 bottles of perfume, and for the record, that is nowhere near the number of perfumes I had when I worked a 9 – 5 job.

 

Watches

Watches are great as tiny gift ideas. I am a watch girl, so I always appreciate a good watch. You don’t have to spend a fortune on a quality watch if you don’t want to. There are so many watches to pick from, in various price ranges.

I can never turn my back on a good watch. Can you?

 

 

Flowers

Flowers are loved by many and most of them are reasonably priced. So they make great tiny gifts. You can speak your heart with a lovely bunch of flowers, without saying anything.
