Elizabeth and James, Nirvana Rose, perfume, sephora

A couple of months ago, we received some samples in our Sephora order that really rang our belle! One of the samples that became a staple on one belle’s dressing table was ELIZABETH AND JAMES NIRVANA ROSE

With it’s clean, floral scent laced with rose de mai, vetiver, and geranium, this fragrance elicits compliments from men and women, young and old. Might be a good stocking stuffer…just sayin!

Available Here, Here and , Here

a belle-ringin’ gift guide…for the fella

amazon, Barbour, gifts, glasses, grill tools, H. Goose, jacket, men, nordstrom, pajamas, Royal highnies, stadium, tools, travel, turntable, Uncommon Goods, watch, whiskey

Our shopping window is narrowing by the minute…and many of us have saved the most difficult (in some opinions) for last. What is a belle to get for the fellas in her life?? Well, here are some ideas!

For his royal “high”-ness as he lounges about…

…the most super-soft lounge pants you can find from Royal Highnies (and their boxers make great stocking stuffers, too!). Carried locally at Rush Wilson and other fine retailers!

For the fella who tends to be a bit retro…

This turntable

The perfect stocking stuffer for the beer-drinker…

This little gadget. Ya don’t have to be a Boy Scout to “always be prepared”. Just sayin’

For the beginning grill-master or the seasoned grill-chef…

A sleek set of grill tools

For the die-hard sports fan…

Stadium and arena blueprints from Uncommon Goods

More handy tools…

…from Uncommon Goods. (Hint, hint…these might be good for the belles, too!)

For the fella who struggles with decision-making…

This is just the thing one of us has needed for a son who struggles in this area!

For the whiskey drinker…

Even a whiskey-drinkin’ belle would enjoy the whiskey wedge!

For travelin’ in style…

…a Barbour travel kit

For the classic sportsman…

An H Goose watch is the perfect accessory. Carried locally by Pace Jewelers, P Squared, and Rush Wilson, so a little footwork will have you checking off your list!

Baby, it’s cold outside…

Perhaps he needs a little somethin’ to keep him warm! This Barbour jacket should do the trick.

Happy shopping, belles!

gifts that give back…’cause belles care

Tags

beelove, body products, Cancer Society of Greenville County, charity, FEED, Found My Animal, gifts, Greenville Humane Society, Jasmine Road, leashes, Love your Melon, scarf, Sweet Beginnings, The Giving Keys, Thistle Farms

We’ve been sharing our gift ideas over the past few days…but today we have a very special edition of our gift guide. These gifts let you give…and give again! Read on…

Feed Projects provides meals to disadvantaged children all over the world. Founded by Lauren Bush in 2007, the project seeks to provide tangible goods (like these) that folks can buy…and profits go to provide school meals. Each product is stamped with the number of meals it supplies.

Our picks…this scarf…

The Harriet tote…

The original, reversible FEED bag…

Love Your Melon gives 50% of profits from the sale of these hats to pediatric cancer research. Our pick…

This charcoal “melon warmer”…

Thistle Farms seeks to heal, empower and employ women who are the victims of trafficking and addiction. Proceeds from these products go directly into supporting the path to independence for belles who don’t even realize how #belleringin they are!!

Thistle Farms Three Trees candle…

The Thistle Farms Jet Set…

Love Heals Every Body!

Sweet Beginnings makes the beelove family of products and provides assistance to men and women who are putting their lives back together after incarceration.

We think someone on your list will “bee” thrilled with these picks…

The nourish & smooth body cream…

Some honey for your honeys…

We are certifiably looney over our fur babies…so we “dig” any organization that helps other fur babies in need. Found My Animal supports pet adoption with belle-ringin products for adopted animals of all sizes and persuasions and their people.

This leash is perfect for our stylish outings about town…

And the waxed cotton dog bed is the perfect spot for Spot…

Peace, love, adopt.

The Giving Keys is an organization that inspires “paying it forward” and supports the homeless. When you give someone a key…they are encouraged to model the behavior on the key and give it to someone who needs it. Our picks…

Strength, Love and Courage…

And, of course, you might just make a donation to a favorite organization…local, national, or worldwide…in honor of those you hold dear. Some local Greenville organizations we have on our minds…

Jasmine Road…

…helping women in Greenville who are the victims of trafficking and addiction

The Hope Fund of the Greenville Humane Society…

The Cancer Society of Greenville County…providing HOPE to local cancer patients…

Peace, love, happiness and hope to you and yours this holiday season!!

bags, Biscayne Bay Bag, cases, Crown Jewels, duffle, earrings, Firefly, Flat Stanley pouch, Free Spirit, Gypsy Dancer, India Hicks, Indie tokens, jewelry, Margaret Hungerford, pouches, Riviera, Shuffle and Deal, tokens, totes, Winning Streak

It’s that time of year again, belles!  Those babies are graduating (they’re barely out of nappies…right?!) and it’s time to reward their amazing accomplishments, celebrate their achievements and send them on their merry way.  Stumped??  Well…we have some India-inspired ideas for you…


The Crown Jewels jewelry case…to let her know what a precious gem she is (shown with the Shuffle and Deal wallet and the Free Spirit necklaces…may she always be free!)


The Firefly will let her shine, shine, shine (and keep the necessities on hand)!


The Flat Stanley pouch…don’t let her forget her inner child!


The Riviera Tote will come in handy for the girl on-the-go (in palm, poppy and rapeseed yellow)


The Riviera Wash Bag in poppy and palm (also available in rapeseed yellow)…because we want her to always be prepared for an adventure 


For her extended excursions…maybe she needs the whole kit-n-kaboodle with the Riviera Duffle, the Baby Riviera and the wash bag…’cause bein’ a bag lady ain’t a bad thing! (Shown in rapeseed yellow, also available in poppy and palm)

The Biscayne Bay bag will prove to be an essential for move-in day and beyond…while the Baby Biscayne keeps the smaller goodies all nice-n-tidy


The Gypsy Dancer earring…may she always remember to dance!


The Winning Streak necklace…because her winning streak has just begun

But no need to stop there…check out the jewelry and Indie tokens yourself.  Ya never know what treasures you might find!!

Wrap it up, belles!
