Ann’s perfume bottles are so collectible and pretty, they make wonderful gifts when you need a little something pretty.  Lovely colors, intricate designs, and spun glass; lots to choose from.  Here are just a few (we have so many more) :

Since you need a Mother’s Day Present for your Mom (Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 9), here are the two Thymes fragrances that Mom loves best:  Moonflower and Goldleaf. 

Moonflower smells like cinnamon, clove, and sugared quince on fresh myrtle leaves.    Note: Quince is an Asian fruit, related to pears and apples. 

Mom would much prefer Moonflower hand lotion, body wash, and perfume, because it has SPARKLE in it!  Mom LOVES to sparkle!    Get her this:

Thymes Moonflower Body Wash with Sparkles, $20.95

or this:

Thymes Moonflower Hand Lotion, $13.95

Definitely this, big spender:

Thymes Moonflower Perfume, $48.95

Or if she’s not a sparkler, you can’t miss with Thymes Goldleaf!  Smooth jasmine, roses, hyacinth, and lily of the valley are good Mom flowers combined in a floral fragrance.  

Thymes Goldleaf Perfumed Body Wash, $20.95

Thymes GoldLeaf Perfumed Foaming Bath, $20.95. Soaps are part of the Thymes Goldleaf Soap set, $18.95

Thymes Goldleaf Perfume, $48.95

In our previous Lampe Berger post, we mentioned the Lampe Berger Fragrance you burn in your Lampe Berger “lampe” to make your home smell good.  The story continues….

Lampe Berger fragrance lampes need Lampe Berger FRAGRANCE to function.  There are so many fragrances that you’re guaranteed to find at least one that you like.    Fragrance is alcohol based and is released into your rooms when you burn the Lampe Berger.  It’s basically “perfume” for your home, and no one makes better perfume than the French.  Always burn Lampe Berger fragrances in your Lampe Berger lampes, because other brands of fragrances can ruin you wick (Ann’s has wicks if you need a new one, not a serious set back).

Fragrance comes in 1/2 liter size bottles ($18.95) and many also come in liter size ($31.95).   See our fragrance list (here), then come to Ann’s to sample them.  (Ann’s carries 62 Lampe Berger Fragrances, including many of the retired fragrances while supplies last.)   Buy your favorite or try a new one for Spring!

We love Eucalyptus, Sweet Pear, and Creme Brulee.  What are your favorites?
