Okay – maybe it’s just me – but I HATE getting crap from Bath and Body Works. With all the random smells they have in there, it’s so hard to pinpoint exactly what someone would like….and come on, all of us girls have had the “Freesia” and “Sweet Pea” around since we were in middle school (for me, 15 years ago). Also, if a guy gets you BBW, you know he didn’t think twice about getting something special and personal. Furthermore, it’s not cheap to buy one of their silly “baskets” – for that $50 or $75, you could get something so much more meaningful!
OR – if you want to go the whole smell-good-bath-supplies route, try someplace different, like LUSH! (http://www.lushusa.com/shop) I once got an adorable box full of personalized fragrances and bath stuff from here and it meant so much more, knowing the person had gone in and mixed the fragrances on their own!
Personally, I like the moleskin idea with the art store giftcard in the back pocket…or the trip to Paris, of course…
