Perfume, Excellent Christmas Gift Idea

 Christmas is right around the corner and some men have no idea what to buy a woman for Christmas. Even men who have been married to their wives for years still has no clue what to get her. Grandmothers always says, " I already had everything and have no space to put anything else." Atleast that is what my grandmother said to me. Her gift idea was for me to use the money for the kids. Mothers tend to want simple jewelry like necklaces and bracelets. Maybe a kitchen appliance or two. You pretty much know what MOM want by October because she is always hinting about it.

I think perfume is the absolute best Christmas present for a woman. I'll tell you my reasons.

1. Every woman loves to smell good. A woman transforms into the Queen that she is once putting perfume on. This is her final step to seal her fashion, make-up and hair. She feels clean and sophisticated after spraying her favorite perfume. Now she is ready for the world.
2. Most woman owns a vanity set where she can beautify herself. One or most of the items you'll find there is her perfume. The beauty of the vanity and the perfum bottles compliment eachother. Some women wouldn't even wear the perfume, they just love the way it looks on their vanity set.
3. For women who absolutely loves perfume really can not afford to purchase it on a regular basis. Most of us woman would opt for Calgone Body Sprays when out of our favorite perfumes. Guys, if you know she is running low on her favorite perfume, you might want to add that to your list. A repacement of the perfume is the best gift because she will feel that you pay attention to her needs.
4. Perfume is a space saver. If any women is like my grandmother with no place to store bigger gifts, perfum can always fit into a purse or pocket book. These days companies are making smaller perfumes just to fit the purse. Smaller perfumes are also the least expensive. So if you know a woman loves a variety of perfumes, get her a collection to carry in her purse.
5. There is nothing more romantic than a husband giving his wife a bottle of her favorite perfume. As for me, my husband gave me perfume last year and I loved it. People who were around me loved it too. We loved it so much that I had to use it for special days and nights only, otherwise we would never get out of bed.

Through these harsh economical times, people are more apt ot spend on the neccessities of the home for Christmas gifts this year. I am not against that but the joy of gift giving has changed due to the crises. However, perfume sets are reasonable. You can get a bottle of perfume, body lotion, powder, body wash and a carry bottle for under $40.00 at Walmart. You can get perfumes sets like White Diamonds by Elizabeth Taylor for about $19.99 easy at Walmart all day long. Better yet, Walmart sells perfume at a lower cost than places like Macy's throughout the year.

You can also shop online for perfumes. I was speaking to a friend of mine, and she referred this site to me. These name brand perfumes are even less expensive than Walmart. I told my friend that this is where I'll shop for my perfumes for now on. The lowest price I've seen there was $2.99. The highest priced perfume was $49.99. I was knocked off my chair looking at these incredible low prices for name brand perfumes like Usher that I believe was $29.99.

Since I love perfume, Ive searched the web to find the least expensive site to purchase my perfume. I've done the comparison on an item and found out that other sites offer the same product but raise the prices on them. Since this is the holiday season, and savings is a must, there is only one site I know that is an ease on your pockets and pocketbooks.

FragranceX.com offered a perfume giftset by Elizabeth Taylor at $26.99. This is just the perfume and body lotion. To add to that you have to spend $59.00 there just to get free shipping. Now if they came down on the price, maybe spending 59.00 wouldn't be a problem because I could buy more than one item that could potentially last alot longer.

These are my purchases at the perfume site that I thought to be pretty reasonable and offered me free shipping on items if I spent 50.00.

Eventhough it is roughly a $12.00 difference, but that same $12.00 I could use on Christmas decorations or food. Think of what you can do with $12.00 extra.
