Men love Ann’s Agraria Soaps.  These bars are large (8.2 oz) and have moisturizers with fine fragrance and such un-flowery fragrances as Balsam, Golden Pomegranate, Bitter Orange, and Mission Fig.  Already wrapped in pretty paper, $20 each.

With Mother’s Day approaching (May 9, 2010), now is a good time to make some gift suggestions.  Mom loves body products, so why not give her a few luxuries from Thymes?  At Ann’s, when you purchase $50 in Thymes, you get a FREE tote bag with butterfly on it, so it makes a very pretty gift.

Today’s fragrance is Lavender:  Thymes Lavender includes traces of rosewood, sage and violet.   Choose from body lotion, body wash, hand creme, hand wash, bath salts, and soap. 

Thymes Lavender Body Lotion, $22.95

New from Camille Beckman!

Camille makes the wonderful skin care creams Ann’s customers love, and now there’s a new “flavor” called Secret Sea.  Imagine warm sand, gentle waves and soft sea wind (and the cabana boy bringing you a pina colada).    Avoid the sand in your suit and enjoy the fragrance when you experience Camille’s Hand Therapy, Silky Body Cream, Hand & Shower Cleansing Gel and other soothing products.  It’s a good gift for yourself or someone who needs a sea-side holiday!

Camille Beckman's NEW Secret Sea Silky Body Cream, $17.50

It’s Friday.  Let’s pop over to Tuscany for a weekend break!  No flight, no baggage fees, no jet lag.   A visit to Ann’s is all you need for a little relaxation and shopping therapy.

Camille Beckman is a long-time favorite hand-creme company that Ann’s not only sells, but Ann uses herself.   Camille’s products are soothing and they smell so good, it’s not hard to imagine yourself enjoying the spa treatment (OK, pour yourself a glass of vino, that will certainly enhance this get-away).

Camille’s Tuscan Honey is a treat.  Get the signature Hand Therapy, then pick up some bath and shower gel, bubble bath foaming hand wash, and body lotion.  Tuscan Honey even comes in a perfumed body powder!  The nostalgic packaging makes it a pretty gift, too.

Ciao, bella!  Enjoy your trip!
