We’ve found that PJs are one of the all-time greatest gifts to give.  Why, you ask?  Our answer is two-fold: 1) They pretty much always fit correctly and 2) Ya just never really want to spend the money to buy them for yourself.  That said, we flippppped when we heard that C&C California was expanding their line into loungewear!  The charming PJs are printed allover with sweet little animals (snowmen, owls, or sheep) and come in amazing tank/short sets.  Better yet, they are made of 100% organic cotton, so you can “go green” without sacrificing great style.  Makes the perfect gift!!

 C&C California Loungewear Sets, $94.00.

 We at Rellik, rarely use celeb photos to sell any of our merchandise (we kinda think it’s cheesy and we trust that you don’t need to see Jessica Simpson toting the latest Kooba bag in order to truly believe it is fabulous).  That said, we are making an exception for one time only, as we have recently discovered Go Go Voyage.  These bags are so unbelievable that we just had to call upon Buffy (a.k.a. Sarah Michelle Gellar, above) to demonstrate how amazing they are.  Go Go Voyage bags are chic totes with hidden retractable trolleys, ingeniously created by a designer/chiropractor duo!  Available in leather or canvas, they include 2 side pockets for extras like cell phone & water, an inside padded laptop area with velcro strap, plus a small leather makeup bag.  These bags are quickly becoming all the rage, and have us rolling our way through airports and on our daily commutes (yes, we are rolling these babies through the streets of Manhattan with no shame).  The perfect gift for any gal on the go go (with a backache from schlepping around those oversized shoulder bags!)

Go Go Voyage bags, $290-$440

What is a zakkerz?
Zakkerz (n.) a temporary pant roll-up wrap used to hold pants that have been rolled up to a shorter length for flat shoes.

Who needs zakkerz?
Our clothes are an investment. 

If you have pants that have been hemmed for high heels but want to wear them with flat shoes or sneakers, then you need zakkerz.

If you would like to be able to go walking during your lunch break, then you need zakkerz.

If you are tired of dragging your pants through rain puddles and snow, then you need zakkerz.

How do zakkerz work?
Roll pant leg up to desired length, then wrap zakkerz around bottom of pant with one end of zakkerz inside pant leg and other end outside pant leg.  Zakkerz are flexible fabric strips that contain specially designed strong magnets.  The magnets bring the two ends of the zakkerz together – holding the roll-up in place.  Genius!

Set of 4 (need two per pant leg), $24.00- Zakkerz.com

Hello ladies, it’s Jackie, and I have a serious confession to make: I stole a sample of body lotion from the hotel I stayed in last weekend (a la Chandler and Ross from Season 9 of Friends), and I’ve fallen head-over-heals in love.  Allow me to introduce you to Lather, a Calilfornia-based body and skin care company that incorporates plant- and food-based ingredients into its unisex products.  Lather takes a holistic approach to skin care, focusing on natural ingredients and essential oils and drawing upon the benefits of aromatherapy.  Lather does not test any of its products on animals and its packaging is kept clean and simple.  Be sure to try its Lavendar Lime Moisturizer (included in this incredible Lavender Lime Spa Gift Set) to give your dry winter skin a lift.

I’m totally in love with the sexy shapes of Klein Reid’s Hawthorne vases. Hot off the kiln and handmade in Brooklyn, their newly developed matte glaze moves at a slower rate than other glazes, allowing the pot to catch those amazing drips. These curvy pieces look great together as a collection, but can definitely stand proudly on their own. Not to mention their housewarming gift appeal, starting at only $100.

Available in either Olive or Golden Yellow, www.kleinreid.com.

Attention!  Attention!  We have just located our new favorite website- chocolatefountains.com .  No, we are not kidding- there is an ENTIRE SITE devoted to chocolate fountains! (75 different chocolate fountains to be exact).  We’ve been obsessssed with chocolate fountains for a while now, but somehow shelling out $199 for one just never seemed right.  Fear not fellow chocaholics- allow us to introduce you to this $59.99 bad boy from Sephra.  It’s the perfect size for serving up the most delicious fondue imaginable, is wonderfully inexpensive, and yet coming as it does from Sephra, is extremely well made.  Whatever you dip into your Chocolate Fountain, it’s more fun than watching Borat nine times (we thought that was impossible), and this awesome piece of brilliance will leave you with a grin the size of Cheshire the Cat on your face.  We’ve found heaven!

Sephra CF16E Select Home Fountain- $59.99 at chocolatefountains.com .

We’ve all been there: using safety pins or strategically placed double stick tape to keep a button down or low cut wrap dress closed enough to avoid cleavage overexposure.  Instead of wasting time trying to keep the girls hidden, try the new Bosom Button. Made of a single Swarovski crystal or gem, these buttons are meant to be seen. Just pierce through your clothing in just the right spot and your top will stay closed all day.  We all know a few people who would love this clever accessory!

$12 each or $25 for 3 at bosombutton.com
