colgatethe natural beauty skincare deck
Colgate Optic White & Colgate Total Repair Toothpaste price varies
Colgate offers many products that are great for gift baskets or stocking stuffers for both adults and children. This year 3 new products in the Colgate line are of interest to me, and I think you will be interested in them to.

1. New Colgate Total Daily Repair Toothpaste: helps repair early teeth & gum damage. Remineralizes weakened enamel, and helps kill bacteria that cause gingivitis and protect against cavities, plague, and tartar.

2. Colgate Optic White Platinum Express is proven to whiten teeth while produces a brighter, healthier smile. This formula contains 2x hydrogen peroxide, and helps protect enamel.

rume travel organizerrume jet set
Rume Garmet Travel Organizer $60 this is such a great item to have to keep you organized. When I went on a trip in September I had a hard time keeping all of my clothes organized so they would actually fit into my suitcase. I wish I would have had this then.

The RuMe Garment Travel Organizer (GTO) transforms your packing, unpacking and living-away-from-home process into utter bliss. This two-sided travel bag enables you to pack suits and dresses lengthwise on hangers. Then, flip the bag over and pack other essentials in one of four brilliant packing cubes. (Packing cubes in a garment bag? Yes!) These see-through pockets make it easy to find the items you need rather than digging around a suitcase. Two buckles secure the bag when folded or enable you to hang the GTO from a closet rod. This stylish bag is perfect for vacations, business trips, class reunions… whenever you leave home!

Personally, I love the different color options. I did not find one to match my luggage exactly but the pink was a diverse color and I new it would go with my luggage even though it is a contrasting pattern. If you know someone who travels a lot then this is a great item to get them.
Rume Jet Set $35 this is a great item to store all of your personal care items, jewelry, and travel arrangement information. It a great size to put inside your carry on in case your luggage is delayed.

The RuMe Jet Set (Jewelry & Travel Organizer) is the most functional travel organizer you’ll ever own. This handy toiletry and jewelry bag is loaded with clever functions and pockets, making packing, traveling and organizing easy! Two TSA-compliant pouches can be easily removed for security checks and the cosmetic brush holder also snaps in and out easily (toss it in your purse while visiting your destination). Translucent zippered compartments allow you to easily see your jewelry, while keeping your necklaces from tangling and a metal hook holds the bag as it hangs in your hotel closet or on the bathroom door. This travel organizer might just change the way you manage your Jet Set life.

I love that this comes in a matching color to the garmet travel bag, and other items Rume sells so I have an all matching set. I also like that it comes in neutral colors to so if I want to get one for my husband or son they don't have to worry about a girly color.

Tarah Jade Candles $30 wood wick burning aromatherapy candles are my favorite type of candle. I like the wood wick because it crackles when lit, and it reminds me of a fireplace. Tarah Jade candles were inspired for meditation to bring inner peace. They have a long burn time of 50 hours, and are made from organic soy wax.

Candles make excellent gifts for everyone. If you need a white elephant gift a candle is a great thing to give.

toys for children

The great thing about buying gifts for kids is they pretty much love anything that is wrapped in pretty wrapping paper. It’s true, you know it is. Teens on the other hand. Well, teens are an exceptions. Even if they love the gift they get a teen is not going to admit it to you. Not unless the teen is just naturally polite or having a really, really good day. I have some great teen gift ideas for you. There is plenty of children’s gifts to look through to. I even included a some baby gift ideas for new moms or family members buying a gift for an infant that just came into the picture.
