Holiday 2012: Gianna Rose Atelier Monogram Collection.

Whether you are going to a holiday party or just stopping by a friends over the holiday season, never arrive empty handed. I like to give personal hostess gifts and I think these beautiful soaps from Gianna Rose from Caswell-Massey are perfect. Not only are they beautiful, they are monogrammed, meaning they are super personal.

The Gianna Rose Monogram Collection includes a personalized bar soap or liquid hand wash. Both are infused with natural ingredients and scented with Green Tea & Bergamont, which smells so good. The look is very high-end. Choose from letters A, B, C, D, E, G, J, K, L, M, R and S.

Gianna Rose Monogram Collection Liquid Hand Wash - $22.00
Stylish bottles are adorned with a decorative grosgrain ribbon, giving an elegant touch to a kitchen or bathroom sink.

Gianna Rose Monogram Collection Bar Soap - $11.00
Each letter-engraved bar soap comes neatly wrapped in a printed linen paper, and is tied off with a grosgrain ribbon. It is the perfect complement to the liquid soap.

Gianna Rose Atelier and Caswell-Massey products are available online at caswellmassey.com or in gift shops near you. Now through December 23, 2012, you can order online and save 25% off your total purchase at caswellmassey.com with code: EDPS12.

Holiday Gift Guide: Makeup Gifts.

I love to give makeup gifts. Not just because I am obsessed, I feel that giving a gift of makeup to someone instantly makes them feel pretty as they imagine using the new gift.
