Father's Day Gift Idea from FragranceNet

Father's Day is quickly approaching, are you still looking for a gift to show your father or husband  that they are appreciated? This year my husband asked for a specific cologne for Father's Day. FragranceNet carries that cologne as well as many others. Does the father in your life have a tried and true favorite? Or maybe you would like to introduce them to a new scent that they might love even more. Here are a few standouts that you might want to consider.

 

Tom Ford Noir ($134.19 at FragranceNet.com) - Now Dad can smell as good as he looks. Tom Ford is an obvious choice for the dad who stays sharply dressed and wants his signature scent to match. He'll appreciate how Tom Ford's blend of bergamot, violet flower, leather, and black pepper accents his suit and tie. 

 

Kenzo Woody Cologne ($44.19 at FragranceNet.com) - Harnessing the power of nature, this aromatic fragrance is the ideal choice for the Dad who has a little bit of the woods in him. Although this is a predominantly woody scent, it is lifted by fresh notes of basil and mint, with black pepper and rosemary ensuring that Dad's life has a touch of spice.

 

 

Polo Ralph Lauren Blue Sport ($74.19 at FragranceNet.com) - If your Dad is a fan of the polo, or just loves the whole preppy scene, then look no further than this spectacular offering from the King of Prep - Ralph Lauren. Expect him to smell like green apples, mint, mandarin, sage and ginger; a fruity cocktail of scents you'd expect at a day on the green.

 

 

F By Ferragamo pour Homme Black ($40.19 at FragranceNet.com) - F by Ferragamo pour Homme Black is described as the perfect scent for a metropolitan man. This scent features an alluring rich lavender that will keep your dad calm even on the most hectic of days. Its black Madagascar pepper and laudanum convey the heart of sophistication and masculinity.

 

 

 

Armani Code Sport Cologne ($41.19 at FragranceNet.com) - Inspired by the energy of top athletes, Armani Code Sport by Giorgio Armani is a refreshing cologne designed for today's active man. This fragrance combines 3 types of mint with Mediterranean citrus for an exhilarating scent. Exotic pink pepper, spicy ginger and icy accords round out the notes and invigorate the senses.

 

 

Gentlemen Only by Givenchy ($58.19 at FragranceNet.com) - This is designed for today's modern father who is sophisticated and refined. It features a combination of spicy and fresh accords and pays homage to the original Givenchy Gentleman of 1974. It includes green mandarin, pink pepper, nutmeg, birch leaves, mixed with cedar and patchouli.

 

I was sent Polo Ralph Lauren Blue Sport and Armani Code Sport for review. My husband has been wearing Happy by Clinique for years it is one of his favorites.  He will be receiving that come Father's Day but in the meantime he has been trying out a newer scent. My husband is picky when it comes to colognes but he is loving Armani Code. I think it smells great (isn't that what really matters here), it is clean and citrus-y which and does not have the woods-y or musky scent that I don't like.

 

My husband and I both smelled the Polo Blue Sport and decided my step-dad would love it. He has been wearing Polo for years but this particular scent will be a new one for him. It is fresh and not over powering I think he will enjoy it alongside his usual colognes.

 

Be sure and check out FrangranceNet for more cologne choices. They also carry perfume, skincare, makeup, and haircare and offer FREE Shipping on all orders over $59.

Twigtale Review and Discount Code

I am a scrapbooker, or maybe I should say I am former scrapbooker. Lately it seems like I haven't the time to sit down and create. My photos are cramming up my computer and I am low on scrapbooking supplies. When I was contacted by Twigtale to review their service and products I was pretty excited. Twigtale specializes in personalized children's books. While most of their books tend to have a focus on early transitions, e.g., new sibling, starting school, moving, pet loss, parents go on a trip, potty, etc… They also have other titles that help promote child development and self esteem. Like this one that I created for my daughter Penelope using a few of my many photos that need a home.

This book "Me" shows your child who they are and what makes them special.  The story helps build identity and self esteem. I customized it to create a cute book that my daughter was thrilled about when she saw it.

 

I also loved how it turned out, as does everyone who has seen it. More then just a photo album filled with pictures this book is a wonderful keepsake that reminds my daughter how much she is loved and how unique and special she is.

 

So what was the process of creating this book like? Easy Peasy! You just choose your book, upload the photos you would like to use, and Twigtale will walk you through the process of customizing it. No glue or embellishments needed! From the front cover to the last page you choose whether you would like to use the provided text for your book or can put it in your own words. You decide which and how many photos you want on each page. Twigtale's books are unique in that they have been written by child development experts but they also have the option of creating your very own book from scratch. They provide a simple template and you personalize it as you wish.

 

These books are wonderful and can be used in so many ways. To organize your child's special birthday, holiday, or vacation moments. To help them with new events in their life. To remind them how precious they are, and even to clear up your hard drive and display your treasured photos of your little one in print. They also make thoughtful gifts for grandparents, auntie's and uncles, cousins or other family and friends that may live far away.

 

Father's Day is just around the corner, why not sit down with your child and create a "Me and Daddy" book for him. Use the code TWIG10 at checkout and receive 10% off your order now until June 30, 2014.

Vaseline Men Spray Lotion Review and Giveaway

Closed

Winner #5

 

 

You may recall several months ago I posted a giveaway for Vaseline Spray & Go lotion. Vaseline has recently come out with a men's version of this product. Vaseline Men Spray Lotion comes in two formulas; Fast Absorbing and Fast Cooling. Just like Vaseline Spray & Go this lotion this conveniently sprays on leaving your skin moisturized quick and effortlessly. The Fast Absorbing lotion is great for dry skin while the Fast Cooling cools and hydrates overheated skin making it the perfect addition to your guys gym bag.

I was sent the Fast Absorbing lotion for my husband to review and he loved it. In fact the bottle is all gone because he used it daily. I don't think his skin has ever been more moisturized. He loved how quickly it absorbs into your skin and does not leave  a greasy feeling. My husband works a rotation in Alaska, with the temperatures being down right freezing up there his skin tends to dry up really fast. Vaseline Men Spray Lotion was great at keeping his skin soft and itch and dry free. You can purchase these at food, drug and mass retailers nationwide.

How would you like to win one bottle of each formula for your man? Two Girly Girl readers will win both the Fast Absorbing and the Fast Cooling lotions.

To Enter: Leave me a comment telling me you would like to win. You can get extra entries for following GGG through GFC, Subscribing via email, liking us on Facebook and following via Twitter.

This giveaway will end on May 18, 2014. I will choose the winner using Random.org. Please leave a valid email address if it is not visible in your profile. US entries only.

A Gift Personalized Review

Looking for a thoughtful gift to give a loved one? Whether your shopping for mom, searching for the perfect Fathers Day present, need to buy something for that special graduate, or trying to find an original birthday gift. A Gift Personalized has it all. Products are conveniently organized by gift recipient, category and occasion, making it easy for you to shop. They carry everything from barware to tote bags and any item can be personalized making for a much more meaningful gift. I was given the opportunity to pick out a product from the many items they have available. It was hard to decide. I kept going back and forth between a canvas print for our home or a keepsake box for myself. I finally decided to let my husband pick something out for himself since it is not often I review products that he can enjoy. It took him less then 15 minutes to find what he wanted!

This Frosty Pop-up Ice Bucket that he plans to take to work with him. He also had it personalized with, I am embarrassed to say, Loverboy. Apparently according to him, that's what his nickname was in school since our last name is Lavoie. Never mind that he has long graduated from school and I don't believe anyone has called him that in many years. *sigh* In any event he was very pleased with his ice bucket when it arrived, which was very quick I might add. Be sure to check out agiftpersonalized.com for all your gift giving needs.
