Pamper those on your gift list this holiday

Finding the elusive "perfect" holiday gift is a challenge. That could be why year after year the special people in your life receive drawerfuls of well-intended but unused items.

Any woman in your life will love the gift of pampering with gift sets full of indulgent products.

This holiday season is all about giving gifts those special people in your life can use ... like the gift of pampering. We're not talking about the decadent, over-the-top, break-the-bank pricey, timely indulgences. In fact, it's the quick, convenient little things that someone can do in the privacy of their home that have the most impact. So when you're out shopping, remember: Whether it's your significant other, your mother, sibling, best friend, babysitter, dog walker or child's teacher, a tiny bit of self-induced TLC goes a long way!

Color Her Hair Beautiful: Considering 75 percent of all women color their hair, what woman isn't searching for the perfect product to care for her freshly colored tresses and brighten her highlights, especially during the holidays? So treat her to ShiKai Color Reflect, a new line of natural, salon-quality shampoos and conditioners. The formulations amplify a myriad of hair tones with light-reflective botanical extracts while keeping color-treated hair from dulling and fading. In addition to being safe and gentle for color-treated hair, Color Reflect products protect and extend the life of color treatments thanks to botanical ingredients. Choose from Shampoos in Gold, Deep, Warm and Platinum; and Conditioners in Intensive Repair, Daily Moisture, and Mist & Go. After just a few applications, she'll be turning heads by New Year's.

This wonder product tackles maintenance and restoration for natural or artificial nails. It offers a base coat, strengthener, growth stimulant, bio-nutrition, conditioner, ridge filler, top coat, stain resistor, UV protection, chip proof, high gloss and fast dry, all in one.

Giving With Every Step: From Imelda Marcos to Carrie Bradshaw, one thing's for sure -- women love shoes. And there is only one thing they love even more: foot massages! The good news this holiday season is that sacrificing comfort for fashion is a thing of the past thanks to the latest offerings from KushyfootTM, the first hosiery brand to use reflexology to massage feet with every step. Whether you give her Toe Covers to wear with her stilettos, Foot Tubes with her wedges, or Athletics Quarter Socks with her tennis shoes, Kushyfoot has a sock to fit every mood and style. So in addition to looking fabulous this holiday season, her feet and shoes will be protected to ensure ultimate comfort. For store info or to purchase, visit www.kushyfoot.com.

Spa Quality Skincare on Her Schedule: Instead of getting her the old standby gift certificate for a facial, allow her to obtain beautiful, younger-looking skin in the privacy of her own bathroom with the easy-to-use Vita-K Solution At Home Microdermabrasion Kit. Exfoliating is a proven and effective way to make skin appear younger, brighter and clearer by gently removing dead skin cells and other impurities. The complete kit comes with a Derma Brush, Resurfacing Cream and Smoothing Serum. With regular use, it will help diminish fine lines and wrinkles, minimize the appearance of pores and age spots, even out skin tone, fade acne scarring, reduce acne and leave skin feeling soft and smooth. Her skin is sure to be movie-star gorgeous as she makes holiday memories. For store info or to purchase, visit www.vitaksolution.com.
