THE SHOPPING THREAD :-)

[Bedlam]

Happy birthday Amanda, we all understand your frustration. I always try and appreciate a gift but it doesn't help if it is then repeated. My husbands always laughs about the year he "tried" to buy clothes for me, I can't even buy clothes for me! Needless to say they all went back...funny he hasn't tried that again.

[Very Happy Jan]

Happy Birthday Amanda.

Maddy- The Hunger Games series are great books for teenagers - DS1 loved them.

I now have the complete ensemble of Coco products - soap, body creme and the shower gel which isn't actually released until Sunday.  You'll be able to smell me coming for blocks!

hope you had a nice day anyway way (belated happy bday) even though your sinuses are blocked and hubby bought you something you hate lol.. you got what you wanted in the end though so all is well that ends well!!

i have alot of different perfumes but at the moment my fav is Beauty by calvin klein..ive even had people come up to me in the shops and ask me what it is lol!  Last time i bought some face products at the perfumery, one of the samples was a PRADA perfume ad it was qutie nice too...also have bright cristal by versace, parisienne by YSL and and and lol can you tell i like to change it up!

I find most perfumes smell different on everyone...i have girlfriends that can love one of my perfumes, try it on themselves and the reaction with their skin isnt the same !

My all-time favorite perfume/cologne is  Ambush.  I've loved it since I was in my 20s.   I've always liked spicy, woody scents and my second choice for years was K L but it is no longer available in the form I like it (solid).  I still have some Emeraude given to me years ago and it is also one of the woodsy, oriental type scents.  
I've never really cared much for the high end perfumes and most that were given as gifts were passed on to family and friends who liked them.
The only expensive one I have now is Elixir Des Merveiles Perfume by Hermes, because it has that spicy, oriental scent I prefer.  It too was a gift from a friend who gives extravagant gifts in return for negligible favors.  Always makes me feel guilty for just giving some of my homemade goodies.  
Most of my friends have stopped giving me scents because I think they have gotten the message that I rarely wear them.

Happy Birthday to all.  
Maddy what a wonderful daughter.  Enjoy every minute of her.

My favorite perfume , at the moment, is almost anything from Jo Malone.  Although I did visit Penheligon while in London and bought some perfume.  Yes , I do like No 5,  and have worn it for years,  Must be the age

Utmost luxury is soap by Jo Malone.

Thats a great purchase, I've wanted that timer too CC but for some silly reason they won't ship to Aus 

[kezza]

I have three perfumes I like at the moment - Alberta Feretti, Prada and Dolce and Gabbana 'The One'.  I used to use Chanel No. 19 because I found No. 5 too strong for me, but have moved on to my other favourites now.

DH has dolce et gabana pour homme ( for men)...oh my goodness i love that smell on him....there are just some perfumes that smell divine on men! 

[Bedlam]

I love a man to smell lovely, my DH hates perfume....shame!

I know they were shipping these to Australia two months ago because someone on another forum bought several for gifts.
