6 Perfectly Pink Presents
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.
Weleda Wild Rose Body Oil Swiss company Weleda grow most plant ingredients that go into their products biodynamically in their own gardens on a plateau in southern Germany. Biodynamic cultivation uses no pesticides or toxic substances whatsoever, so you don't have to worry about your skin absorbing all those pesky chemicals that are found in many mainstream oils and lotions. Their wild rose body oil comes in a dark blue glass bottle with a bright pink label and the main ingredients are jojoba, sweet almond, and organic musk rose oil. If the thought of putting oil on your skin grosses you out, don't worry - it does get absorbed very quickly, and leaves your skin incredibly soft and sweet smelling (not overpoweringly "rosey"). $25.
Wine Opener The hot pink "Chic Lady" wine opener from L'Atelier du Vin deserves a place in any wine-drinking pink lover's kitchen. At $44, it's affordable enough that I personally would add a bottle of wine to go with it. Chateau De Segries Tavel Ros perhaps, in keeping with the pink theme. $44 for the opener and $17 for the wine.
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.
The Cutest Camcorder On Earth The Flip MinoHD from Pure Digital Technologies is not only a great little camcorder (3.94"x1.97"x0.63"); it is cute as can be as well. What makes it so cute? You get to design it! Choose a style from their gallery (there are tons!), use their "pattern maker" to create a totally unique pattern, or upload your own design or photo. But it's not all looks: it has a 2x digital zoom, an f/2.4 lens, a 1.5" screen, 4GB of internal memory, a built-in flip-out USB arm, and a tripod mount, and it only weighs 3.3 oz. The price? $229.
TL9 Digital Camera Samsung's cameras all come with great features and extras, but few are as tricked out as the TL9. This chic little camera comes in 3 colors (silver, black and pink) and manages to fit a multimedia player, camcorder, voice recorder, text viewer and MP3 player into its sleek body. The camera itself is nothing to sneeze at either. It has a 5x optical zoom, 10.2 MP, smile, blink and face recognition, dual image stabilization, a focal length of 38-190mm (35mm equivalent), and 11 difference scene modes. Retail price is around $240.
Cell Phone Ever heard of Vertu? This surprisingly little-known UK-based Nokia subsidiary make all their cell phones by hand and use materials such as ruby bearings, gold, platinum and liquidmetal (which is twice as hard a stainless steel). $6,300 and up.
There are three pink phones in their "Constellation" collection: the "Monogram Cerise", the "Core Range Pink" and the "Precious Range". The Monogram and Core both have pink leather backs and stainless steel fronts, and the Precious is black leather and 18k rose gold with black ceramic keys. All weigh 5 oz., have GSM coverage in 180 countries, Bluetooth email, web browser, 400 hours of standby and 5.5 hours of talk time.
The Signature Diamonds collection has had a few eye popping designs in the past. A garish example was the "Cobra", which had a cobra made out of rubies, diamonds and emeralds "slithering" around the face of the phone - not my cup of tea, but apparently a few people thought they were worth $310,000. At the moment, however, the pink offerings are very pretty and quite subdued: The "Rose Gold Pink Diamonds" and the "Rose Gold Pink Sapphires" are both encased in gold with the face framed by pink flowers (made from sapphires, rubies and diamonds). Both weigh 7.2 oz, have loudspeakers, voice recorders, work in 175 countries, and have 300 hours of standby and 3-9 hours talk time.
The most exclusive feature on these phones, however, is probably the "concierge button". By pressing this little button (on the side of the phone), you reach a personal assistant, who can help you (24 hours a day) with everything from finding a perfect restaurant for a romantic dinner to arranging for a private jet so you don't miss that important business meeting.
