When purchasing a gift at the Holidays, or really at anytime, you want to know it is good quality, and that the recipient will like it. Origins has a fantastic selection of products that anyone would be thrilled to receive. Each item is made with the highest quality plants, earth and sea substances and 100% natural essential oils.

Something that we don’t necessarily look for, but is a definite benefit, is that Origins is focused on helping make a healthier planet. Their cartons are made from 50% Forest Stewardship Council certified paperboard and 50% post-consumer recycled fiber, all of their printed materials is printed on recycled paper using soy-based inks and Origins is partnering with Community Energy Inc. to purchase wind generated power to offset electricity used in its North American stand-alone retail stores. Wow!

And if that wasn’t enough, part of the sales from the following gifts are donated to not-for-profit organizations. Doesn’t that make giving even better?

Bombshell Bargains recently launched their third bath and body collection, Starlet, and it is truly red carpet worthy. This trio of sheer heaven is described as a “deliciously flirty scent that will leave star struck admirers wherever you go!”

Starlet is sweet but definitely not sickly sweet. It’s hard to pinpoint what the scent is – but yummy is a good start. Owner Elizabeth Yap-Chung tells me that the notes are “a mix of red berries, vanilla and spun sugar.” Aha! I now can detect the vanilla and red berries.

Starlet comes in a Hand & Body Lotion, Bath & Shower Bubbles and a Bath Fizz. The Bombshell Starlet-to-go is the perfect way to sample all of these items as it Includes 2 oz. of each product.

They will match the colour theme of your wedding and infuse the chosen favour with the couple’s favourite scent. The favour is then beautifully gift wrapped and a customized name tag is attached.
