New Holiday Gift-Giving Ideas For Him And Her

We know. No one wants to be rushed, but look----it's already November 8th. The holidays are upon us, and yes, times are tough and tight.

But we all, hopefully, embody the spirit of giving and celebration. So here are just a couple of ideas for your favorite hims and hers.

Fragrance. We each have our own distinct favorite cologne or perfume. And when the holidays roll upon us, well, we often think of beautiful, yummy-smelling fragrances.

You can't give a perfume to just anybody. Scent is individual. It's best to know that person when you want to give them the gift of scent. Some women, for example, are adventurous, in the fact that they love trying new fragrances. Others are almost 'married' to the same cologne, year after year. And some, wouldn't want you to even copy their scent within walking distance. In other words, "Girlfriend, don't wear my scent. That's my perfume."

Nordstorm's fine department stores are already showing off what's new in the fragrance aisle.

And here are two we think make some nice holiday gift-giving ideas for him and her:

Ralph Lauren. Timeless and classic. Ralph Lauren Men Holiday Coffret (49.50, 0.05 oz. each). Check out these handsome mini bottles of Double Black, Explorer, Polo, Polo Sport, and Polo Blue.

Valentino. Elegance and style. Valentino 'Rock 'n Rose' Holiday Gift Set ($68, 2 items). Eau de Parfum Spray 1.6 oz. and Body Lotion 3.4 oz. The 'Rock 'n Rose' fragrance is created as 'a perfect balance between edgy modernity and Valentino's elegance and tradition.'
