It’s no secret that women of all ages love the color pink – it has even been scientifically proven! Chances are you have a pink lover among your friends or family, and need to come up with new, fun gift ideas for Birthdays/Christmas/Valentine’s Day/Other Special Occasions. I’ve selected a few gifts I know I would love to receive.
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!).
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.
Espresso/Cappuccino Maker Who doesn’t love a cup of strong espresso or creamy cappuccino? Bialetti’s adorable Pink Mukka Express ($89.95) and Dama Pink ($42.95) will make just that, right on your own stovetop. Both are super cute with black bases and pink tops, and since a portion of the price goes to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, you can feel extra good about buying one.
Flip MinoHD Camcorder Electronics have come a long way from the days when everything only came in black or silver. But even so, sometimes you want to put your own touch on the design of your gadgets. Pure Digital Technologies lets you do that with their Flip MinoHD camcorder. They offer a huge variety of ready-made designs, but if you’d rather go with your own creation, you can either use their pattern maker to make up a brand new pattern, or upload a photo or design and have that printed on the camcorder. These cute little camcorders measure only 3.94″x1.97″x0.63″, weigh in at 3.3 oz., have a 1.5″ LCD, 4BG of built-in memory, a flip-out USB connector, 2x digital zoom, a tripod mount and an f/2.4 lens. $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.
Cell Phones by Vertu Nokia-subsidiary Vertu operates out of a super-secure building in the English countryside, where expert craftsmen assemble these luxury phones by hand using precious metals and stones inside and out. Never heard of them? Most people haven’t, Vertu does not advertise in the US (but they are pretty widely available here).
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 4.3×1.7×0.6″, weigh around 5 oz, have Bluetooth email and speakers, and work in over 180 countries.
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.
