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.
Corkscrew Trust the French to invent a wine opener they describe as “sensual”! L’Atelier du Vin’s stylish “Chic Lady” corkscrew ($44) comes in both hot and pale pink, and has a patented “swing system” which makes pulling the cork out of the bottle totally effortless. I’d add a bottle of wine to go along with it; a nice ros preferably (but please stay away from the White Zin!).
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.
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.
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 lineup includes 3 pink phones: The Core Range Pink, the Monogram Cerise (both with stainless steel fronts and pink leather backs), and the Precious Range (18k rose gold and black leather) all measure 4.3×1.7×0.6″ and weigh around 5 oz. They have 5.5 hours of talk and 400 hours of standby time, quadband GSM coverage in over 180 countries, web browser, and Bluetooth email.
The exquisite Signature Diamonds collection includes the ultra luxurious Rose Gold Pink Sapphires and Rose Gold Pink Diamonds phones (both encased in gold, and the face of the phone is framed with a garland of pink flowers, in sapphires, rubies and diamonds). These two phones measure 4.8×1.6×0.6, weigh 7.1 oz., have 3-9 hours talk time, 300 hours standby time, coverage in 175 countries, a loudspeaker, voice recorder, multimedia messaging, and more.
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.
