With even science backing up the fact that most women adore the color pink, there's a pretty good chance that you have friends or family members who would love a fabulous pink gift for their next birthday (or other special event). Here are 6 gifts no pink-lover can resist.
Rose Body Oil With biodynamically grown ingredients, a solid blue glass bottle with a hot pink label and a subtle, soothing rose scent, this body oil from Weleda feels a lot more expensive than it is ($25). Even though it consists of almond, jojoba and rose oil, it does not feel greasy on your skin. The oil absorbs surprisingly fast, and leaves your whole body feeling smooth, hydrated and smelling faintly like a rose garden (but not too much so!).
Corkscrew Trust the French to invent a wine opener they describe as "sensual"! L'Atelier du Vin's stylish "Chic Lady" corkscrew ($44) comes in both hot and pale pink, and has a patented "swing system" which makes pulling the cork out of the bottle totally effortless. I'd add a bottle of wine to go along with it; a nice ros preferably (but please stay away from the White Zin!).
Stovetop Espresso Machine Bialetti's cute logo alone is enough to make me want to add any of their products to my kitchen (and I rarely drink coffee!). But it just got even better with the release of 2 pink versions of their stovetop espresso/cappuccino makers: The Dama Pink ($42.95) and the Mukka Express ($89.95). Not only do they produce amazingly tasty espresso and cappuccino, they look fantastic, and a part of the proceeds of each goes to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
Flip Video MinoHD Is it the world's smallest camcorder? No (Spy Gadgets sells one the size of a stick of gum), but it's still tiny: it only measures 3.94"x1.97"x0.63" and weighs 3.3oz. And it is definitely the cutest - you get to design it. There are tons of existing styles to choose from, but you can also create your own pattern, or even upload a photo and use that! A few important specs: 4GB memory, internal rechargeable battery, built in USB connector, 1.5" LCD screen, ultra-low light sensitivity, 2x digital zoom, f/2.4 lens, tripod mount. $209-$229.
Digital Camera Samsung's sleek TL9 (NV9 in Europe) comes in a shiny bubblegum pink and is packed with great features: a camcorder, a voice recorder, an MP3 player, a text viewer and a multimedia player. The camera part of this little gadget is not bad either, boasting 5x optical zoom, 10.2 megapixels, image stabilization, face recognition, smile and blink detection, and a beauty shot mode which smoothes out the skin of your subject. It retails for around $240.
Vertu Cell Phones Not widely known in the US, these handmade cell phones from UK-based Vertu (a subsidiary of Nokia) are uber-stylish gadgets that would make any Valentine gasp with delight.
Their Constellation collection includes the Core Range in polished stainless steel and bright pink leather, the Precious Range in black leather and 18 carat rose gold, and the Monogram Range's "Cerise", in stainless steel and a pink leather patterned back. All measure 4.3x1.7x0.6", weigh around 5 oz, have Bluetooth email and speakers, and work in over 180 countries.
The exquisite Signature Diamonds collection includes the ultra luxurious Rose Gold Pink Sapphires and Rose Gold Pink Diamonds phones (both encased in gold, and the face of the phone is framed with a garland of pink flowers, in sapphires, rubies and diamonds). These two phones measure 4.8x1.6x0.6, weigh 7.1 oz., have 3-9 hours talk time, 300 hours standby time, coverage in 175 countries, a loudspeaker, voice recorder, multimedia messaging, and more.
$6,000 and up might seem like a hefty price tag for a cell phone, but not only do you get an uber-chic, exclusive phone - you also, with the press of a button, get access to a round-the-clock concierge who will help you with everything from finding that perfect gift to putting together an itinerary for your honeymoon.
