Reply to: Question for Girlies/ladies/none blokes or lizards

Lush is, like dashing into Boots, an obvious "couldn't be bothered" thing.

[ASIDE] Was I the only person on the planet to be slightly disturbed & nauseated when a 9 year old girl won their "Name & design a bath-bomb" competition with "Sex Bomb", complete with winning entry blurb of a risque, adult nature. 9 years old? FFS.

eeeek!

Having said that, I really can't believe some of the clothes some shops sell for that age group. Black everything, playboy bunny motifs, skin tigh revealing stuff and high heels. High heels for 9 year olds?? Not surprised they are so sexually aware.

Elemis smellies, etc. from QVC is, so 'er indoors says, very, very good. Buying more of it, so must be OK.

Thirded..

[realityhack]

After asking 'her indoors'...

The very best smellies can be purchased from Jo Malone in her opinion. She specialises in candles, bath products etc.

If you really want to push the boat out buy Creme De La Mer (more for the face - face cream and such like), La Prairie (Skin Caviar) or Ren from Space NK, or an Eve Lom facial.

She has expensive tastes.

Good grief, you can tell this is the Contractor's Forums!

Elemis, Clarins, L'Occitane, Decleor, Molton Brown???? For a female mate? Bit over the top if you ask me! She'll think you're after her spending that kind of money on smellies for her.

That said, Sanctuary does give the impression of "I was in Boots and couldn't think what to get you so I picked this up cheap!"
Cheaper than Elemis etc but better than Sanctuary I would say Lush is probably your best bet.

Like someone said above though, I reckon a CD or DVD is safer!

the shop makes me sneeze though

[TheFaQQer]

I really like Lush

Lush is yummy.

[NickFitz]

Bit of a strange prezzie for someone you're not sleeping with though. Why not get her a CD or DVD or something that she doesn't have to rub on her naked body?

Get her a pound of pig's liver. Then she can either eat it or rub it on her naked body, according to personal preference.

[SandyDown]

I really like Lush

[SueEllen]

Sanctuary = no imagination as you can just rush into any large Boots and buy it in a gift set.

Molton Brown stuff is good as it looks like you made some effort.

[Lucy]

Jo Malone is nice, or Laura Mercier, or even Clarins if you are desperate.

Bodyshop has never worked for me and Roddick was a lefty nutter.

Sanctuary is yucky.

[SallyAnne]

oh and btw - yep women are bitches...

No we're not you stupid cow!

(that was a joke)

I agree with Cailin - if you must get toiletries, get them from the body shop.

Liz Taylor's perfume: who the fook would want to smell like an ancient woman who never managed to snare a bloke for more than 3 minutes?

[_V_]

There's a new perfum that women are going wild for. Evidently it smells of money.

[cailin maith]

Get yourself to Space NK Apothecary, L'Occitane, or buy a job lot of Molton Brown stuff - Molton Brown is excellent - big range at Selfridges/John Lewis.

But it smells a bit yuk too - I don't get the hype around it at all but I know loads of fellas who like it
