Michael Kors Perfume Holiday Set

Oh. My. Gosh. Who else is as full as I am? I can barely move! It’s a good thing blogging only requires the use of my hands. If it were a more physical activity, I’d be in trouble right now. I think I’m in trouble anyway, because after the way I ate yesterday, I’m not sure my clothes are going to fit me for the next week. Oh come on, like you didn’t stuff your faces too? Yeah, that’s what I thought. At least my belly is making a nice makeshift desk for my laptop. Haha! Ew. I’m totally joking. If that were the case, I wouldn’t be blogging, I’d be on The Biggest Loser right now, running my ass, er, belly off. But no, a nice pair of elastic-waisted pajamas is doing nicely right now, thanks. Besides, there are leftovers still to be eaten! Oh yeah, not one bit of that turkey is going to waste. We all eat it until we can hardly stand the sight or smell of it. Then we get Thanksgiving amnesia, and by next October, we’re excited about the holiday again. In the meantime, I can’t even think about trying to close a coat, or slipping on a pair of pumps. I think I’d probably fall face forward if I even tried to walk in a pair of heels right now. So while I’m staying home today—oh hell no, I don’t go out in that mess; I already told you how crazy it is—I’m going to be doing my Black Friday shopping online. And since I’m avoiding constrictive clothing and hazardous shoes, how about we look at some cool non-clothing gifts, like this Michael Kors Gorgeous Holiday Set.

Have you ever smelled Michael Kors’s signature perfume? It’s lovely. One of the middle notes in it is tuberose, which is a beautiful white, night blooming desert flower. I like that image. It makes me think of cool, smooth petals against my skin. Michael Kors perfume is a mix of floral, woodsy, and exotic scents, all brought together in a rich, sensuous combination. Some of the other notes found in it are freesia, peony, musk, and Chinese osmanthus. It’s a sophisticated scent, worn well in the evening, or with more formal ensembles. In the reusable holiday gift box, the eau de parfum comes in a 3.4 fl. oz. bottle. What I love about this set, though, is that it includes a 7.0 fl. oz. glimmer body crème. Again, perfect for evening to give your skin a gentle shimmer in the moonlight, much like that night blooming tuberose. These items would sell for about $157 separately, but you can get them as a set for just $115 at Zappos.com. Oh, and get this. There’s also a Michael Kors Fall Set that includes a smaller, 1.7 fl. oz .bottle of eau de parfum, a 1.7 fl. oz. body lotion, a 1.7 oz. shower gel, and the bonus of the bunch, a 1 oz. container of Classic Leg Shine. The fall set normally sells for $80, but it’s on sale now for only $72, also at Zappos.com.

Speaking of pretty white flowers, check out this set of Marc Jacobs Daisy perfume. Daisies are fresh, summery flowers, and this perfume captures their spirit perfectly. Daisy contains notes of gardenia, ruby red grapefruit, jasmine, musk, and vanilla, among others. See if you can make out the sweet strawberry in it, too. Yes, it’s more of a spring and summer perfume, but that’s why it’s the perfect holiday gift. Your recipient will be ready to greet spring with a fresh, new signature scent. This set contains 3.4 fl. oz. eau de toilette spray, 5.0 fl. oz. luminous body lotion, and a solid perfume Daisy necklace. Ok, that’s not something I’d wear, but I was thinking it’d be a neat little trinket to give to a young sister or niece in your life. Sure, they make perfume for little girls, but it’s usually cheap and heavy on the alcohol. Daisy perfume is light enough that it could be appropriate for a younger girl, and she’d love how the daisy charm opens up to reveal the solid perfume inside. Give this fresh gift for just $85 from Zappos.com.

It closes with a drawstring, and has dual handles. Euphoria is a provocative scent, containing notes of black orchid, and exotic fruits like persimmon and pomegranate. Try it on for $82 at Zappos.com.
