        Bugs must be the new designer thing because Dooney & Bourke has a new handbag design which is plaid, looks like a picnic blanket and under the closure tab is a great big black ant! You can only see the ant if the handbag is open. Please note I am rolling my eyes in total distaste. I just don’t get the appeal.

    The John Varvatos set seems good value. Funny, Mothers Day in the UK is usually in March, but Father Day is exactly the same as the US!

      It’s a very good price. And that is weird…

      It’s funny, too, because on the other hand, Mother’s Day in Finland is the same as the US, but Father’s Day is at a completely different time of year (November).

    Oh that Eau Sauvage 400ml sounds tempting!
    But it would last me (or my dad..) for ages!
    The vetiver soap sounds lovely

    Have you smelled the Eau Sauvage? The soap does look dreamy good! All in all, sweet looking goods.

      Yes, Eau Sauvage is a wonderful classic. Have not tried that soap though!

    I dont know how you would even apply a fragrance in a 1 liter bottle. Its too big to hold in 1 hand. It must have to come with a smaller spray atomizer.

    That candle looks great– I’d buy it for myself just for the packaging. I wonder, though, where they found a scented bougainvillea. Bouganvilleas have gorgeous flowers, but I’ve never caught a hint of a scent from one. Has anyone else noticed a scent?

      There are scented varieties, but most of them aren’t fragrant.
