Whether shopping for yourself or for a gift for someone else, fragrance gift sets are an a terrific option, especially when it comes to getting more for less.  Even when purchased at full retail price, fragrance gift packages represent an excellent value.   A gift set generally includes at least one full sized item (body lotion, soap, bath gel) along with a full sized Cologne or Eau de Parfum – and generally sells for the same price as the fragrance by itself.  You’re usually saving about 25% to 40% off the retail value of the products.  A really terrific gift set might also include a couple other small items like a purse spray or some travel size bath and body products.  In general, you’re getting something for free – even if you’ve paid full retail price.   

And, of course, savvy online shoppers can do even better – there are quite a few online fragrance outlets offering 100% authentic designer perfume and cologne and fragrance gift sets at discounts of up to 70% – sometimes even more.  Always comparison shop your fragrance of choice at several different places - and always expect to find a wide variation in prices between sites.   It’s well worth a few extra clicks - prices can vary by more than $25 for a single, identical item.   If you’re shopping for more than one fragrance, don’t be at all surprised if a site that was the most expensive for one product offered the best price by far for the other.   

Fragrance gift sets make a great gift for any occasion – holidays, birthdays, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day.  Pick one of her all time favorite fragrances and go to town.  And if the pre-packaged gift sets don’t seem quite bountiful enough – add a few more products and create your own gift box. 

A do it yourself fragrance gift set is an easy gifting option and an excellent choice for last minute shoppers. Overnight delivery is generally available. A quick trip to your corner Walgreens or CVS for a decorative gift bag, coordinating tissue and the perfect card and you’ve created a thoughtful and luxurious gift with no stress at all.  

Fruit is a terrific business or housewarming gift and is a perfect choice for less joyous events as well.  Fresh fruit is an excellent way to show someone you’re thinking of them after they’ve suffered a loss or if they are recovering from an injury or illness.

Flowers are a terrific choice for Mother’s Day and many other gifting occasions.  It’s quick, easy and convenient to send flowers and last minute shopping is generally not a problem.   Here are a couple of helpful hints to make sure that the flowers you send this Mother’s Day make a loving and lasting impression.

• 1. Choose something special – maybe something that has a special significance to Mom.  My Mom was really not an avid gardener, but she had a spectacular bed of irises outside the kitchen window of my childhood home.  For as long as I can remember, irises always make me think of her and if I buy some for her, she know’s exactly why I’ve selected them.
• 2. We are apparently gearing up for a particularly difficult allergy season, so if Mom is at all allergy prone, opt for something without a heavy fragrance or excessive pollen like irises, orchids or tulips.  Tropical blooms like birds of paradise and ginger also are without much scent. 
• 3.  If Mom has a lot of beautiful glassware and vases, don’t bother with the vase.   It’s really a waste of money and space for most people.  Just go for the flowers.  
• 4.  Fresher is better.  Nothing beats flowers shipped directly from the grower.   
• 5.  If you opt for an arrangement of mixed blooms, design your own with Mom’s favorite colors and flowers as a theme or choose one that features her favorites.   
• 6.  This is an important day and one of the biggest flower delivery events of the year.  You want the best.  Try not to wait until the day before and hope you find something decent.  For the fullest possible selection and highest possible quality, place your order a week in advance.  Especially if you are planning on sending something exotic or want something shipped directly from the grower. 
• 7.  Never fear if you find yourself shopping at the last minute.  You’ll be able to find next day and even same day delivery if you get caught in a time crunch.  You may not have as many choices, but you will be able to send something fresh and fabulous.
