When it comes to holiday gifting, Bath & Body & Chocolates are usually on the list! I love shopping Bath & Body Works for a variety of products for my self & as gifts for the ones I love. When it comes to scents that would be perfect for V-day, Bath & Body Works has you covered.
They sent me a few goodies from their A Thousand Wishes Line & a mini candle in Japanese Cherry Blossom (My Favorite Scent) to sample.
The A Thousand Wishes Line smells divine! Bath & Body Works A Thousand Wishes Perfume has notes of Sparkling Champagne, Twinkling Star Fruit, Golden Quince, Crystal Peonies, Purple Freesia Gilded Amber, Almond Crème, Sugared Sandalwood, and Velvet Musk!
Like most Bath & Body Works products, the scents seem to be consistent between the body wash, lotion, & body spray. Layering them gives you a beautiful scent that lasts all day. Now the packaging is to die for. Some of my favorite colors, and some beautiful gold glitter all wrapped up in a purple bow.
Since trying this I might just have a tie for favorite scent! I use these daily and get compliments all the time on the scent! If your looking for a gift for V-Day or just something to spoil yourself I highly suggest getting this line!

I always love shopping for unique gifts…and if they have movie characters that we know and love…even better! I was introduced to a little store a few weeks ago, The Vermont Country Store, and fell in love with the merchandise they carry! It’s like shopping at your favorite local country store, full of top quality hard to find and unique gifts. Right now with the new Peanuts Movie hitting theaters they have many items to choose from with your favorite Peanuts characters on them.
Take a journey into the general store of yesteryear with The Vermont Country Store. As the purveyors of practical and hard-to-find products, we offer you a host of quality merchandise from around the block and around the world. Browse through our site for wonderful, classic products that can help simplify your life. The Vermont Country Store is a family owned and operated business with roots in over 100 years of Orton family storekeepers.
I was sent a few items to check out, and I’m not sure who was more excited when I opened the box…me or my little man. He received a Peanuts Snow Fun Pajamas, and it couldn’t have been better timing! He has been in love with the Peanuts crew lately…And I was super excited about the Chrismas Record Collection that I received…These songs take me back to my childhood when we would sit down excitedly every Chrismas to watch our favorite Chrismas Specials including A Charlie Brown Christmas & Chrismas With The Chipmunks.
Kids Peanuts Snow Fun Pajamas
Charlie Brown and friends reminds little boys and girls everywhere how much fun it is to sled, skate, and of course cozy up for a good night’s sleep in these playful Peanuts pajamas. Brushed for added softness and warmth, they feature a long-sleeve top trimmed with satiny piping along the notch collar, button front, banded cuffs, and breast pocket. The bottoms boast a full elastic waist and satiny piping at the cuffs. Flame-resistant, micro-polyester jersey.
These pjs are super soft and well made. They are a little big for him right now with his tiny little waist…but he still likes to wear them, so I just kinda roll the waist which works until he gets the urge to run half naked again…yes we are in that stage where clothing is optional it seems.
Christmas Record Collection
This Christmas, give the gift of music and memories with these 2 vintage holiday albums. A Charlie Brown Christmas contains the original sound track from that beloved 1965 television special as performed by jazz pianist extraordinaire, Vince Guaraldi and his legendary trio. Includes such favorites as “Linus and Lucy” and “Christmas Time Is Here.” Christmas with the Chipmunks, which originally debuted in 1962, features the high-pitch harmonies of Alvin, Simon, and Theodore as they sing 12 classic Christmas carols. Includes “Here Comes Santa Claus,” “Frosty the Snowman,” and that Yuletide classic, “The Chipmunk Song.”
Who doesn’t love listening to the Chipmunks sing in their tiny little voices!? My kids absolutely love trying to sing along in their best Chipmunk voices…it really is too funny. The A Charlie Brown Christmas will be our new tree decorating sound track.
The Vermont Country Store has so much more to offer for any age and any budget. Be sure to stop on over and have a look around…you just might find something to spark a few memories of your own.
