Roux Maison Laundry Care Review & Gift Idea

Do you know someone who just purchased a home? Will you be attending a house warming party? Looking for a nice gift for the hostest that has it all? Why not gift them something that they need and will be sure to use?

Roux Maison's line of laundry care products are custom blended with 100% natural essential oils that are synthetic and preservative free. These eco-friendly products are made with natural ingredients and are free of artificial fragrances and added chemicals.  

They have four varieties of detergents in two scents as well as a fragrance free variety. They come in 16oz. bottles or convenient 1oz. travel size bottles.

Roux Maison Essential Detergent

· Ideal for sheets, towels, and everyday laundry

· Completely rinses out garments, never leaving any residue

· Available in Ambrosia, Sweet Tea or Fragrance Free

Roux Maison Delicate Detergent

· Ideal for machine or hand washing all fine washables such as lingerie, hosiery, shape wear and specialty fabrics (silks, cottons, rayon and polyester, etc)

· Engineered to break down and remove the perspiration salts, body oils, and stains common to these fragile garments, while keeping them in pristine condition

· Available in Ambrosia, Sweet Tea or Fragrance Free

Roux Maison Sport Detergent

· Eliminates the dirt, odor and bacteria that can thrive in the dirtiest and sweatiest technical and workout gear

· Works to maintain the elasticity of lycra, spandex and high performance fabrics so they won’t stretch unnecessarily or prematurely deteriorate

· With use of the formula, waterproofing qualities stay intact and continue to breathe and wick away moisture as intended

· Available in Ambrosia, Sweet Tea and Fragrance Free

Roux Maison Swimwear

• Designed for delicate swimwear that has taken a beating from the sweat, salt water, chlorine and sunscreen
• Ideal solution for swimwear as it removes grime while maintaining elasticity, shape and color
• Available in Fragrance Free

I was given the opportunity to review all three detergent varieties and all three scent varieties. First of all I would just like to say that I love the Ambrosia and Sweet Tea scents. The Ambrosia smells of lavender and the Sweet Tea has a citrus smell. Both scents linger on the laundry after wash and smell fresh, clean, and just plain good. I washed my daughter Penelope's blanket in the Ambrosia scent and she can't stop sniffing at her blanket days later. Speaking of Penelope, I have always had to use fragrance free detergents on her clothes because she has sensitive skin. I can't believe I can use Roux Maison's scented detergents on her stuff and they don't make her break out in a rash. My husband has the same problem so I am going to put these to the test on his clothes next. The detergents work really well and you only need a small amount per laundry load. The bottles are very lovely and would look great in a basket alongside a couple of bath towels and a candle for a thoughtful gift.

 

You can purchase Roux Maison products online if you can't find them in a store near you.

Winner# 28 bayctygrl

 

 

It's been awhile but I previously posted a review on Novica and their abundance of products. Novica carries truly unique items that are crafted by artisans all over the globe. Everything from jewelery to home decor. I really enjoy browsing all the art and reading about the artist behind the work. From the Andes, to West Africa, to Thailand it's like traveling the world and visiting local markets from the comfort of your home.

With Christmas just a couple weeks away why not look through Novica's extensive inventory to find the perfect gift for your friend or relative. With their new Gift Finder it is that much easier to find something that they are sure to love.  For instance looking for something for an animal lover? Let Novica narrow down there Gifts for Animal Lovers. I really like this Onyx Statuette Midnight Owl.

How about finding something special for the chef in your life? I really like this set of Cypress Wood Chopping Boards.

 

In addition to being able to search by personality, you can also narrow down your search by recipient, category, interest, price, and region. So go feast your eyes on all the lovely creations Novica has to offer.

Red Envelope Review

Christmas is only a few short weeks away, have you gotten all your Christmas shopping done? Why not take a look at Red Envelope? They have some really nice and unique gifts in several price ranges and for every personality. Need a gift for someone who loves to cook? How about a new mom? When I was asked if I would like to review their shopping site and their products I wasn't sure what to expect as I had never shopped Red Envelope before. Let me tell you I was very impressed with the large selection and quality of products they carry. I found so many things I wanted and some really nice items that would make great gifts. I love how their inventory is neatly organized into categories making it easy to find what you are looking for. You can search by occasion, interest, gifts for him or her, and more. Some of the products I liked were this Culinary Herb Growing Kit.

I think it would look great sitting on my kitchen window sill. Another product I really liked was this Deluxe Sculpted Jewelry Tree.

My sister would absolutely love this!

Red Envelope provided me with a gift code to purchase something on their site and share my shopping experience with all of you. I decided I would purchase something to give and something to keep. After spending an hour or so going through everything available I decided I would go green and purchase a couple of plants. The first one was this Juniper Bonsai for my husband. He has been wanting a bonsai tree for several years now and I thought he would be happy to see it on his new roll top desk.

The second thing I purchased was this Braided Money Tree for myself. I thought it was pretty and would also look great on my kitchen window sill.

I was very thrilled with how quickly my items were shipped to me. After only a few days FedEx was knocking at my door with my packages. The items I received were exactly as expected and the only thing that would make me happier is if my money tree would actually sprout some money. I can't wait for my husband to get home and see his Bonsai I know he is going to love it as well.

Still trying to find that perfect gift then go check out Red Envelope you won't be disappointed.
