I find shopping for women so much easier than shopping for men. Maybe it is because I get to buy products I would love to have myself! Here are some great products that I have recently had the chance to review or have used over the past year that I think would make great hostess gifts!
1. GIVE THE GIFT OF A SEXY AND ABUNDANT LIFE: Hayley Hobson's Hip Guide to Creating Your Sexy & Abundant Life by Hayley Hobson
Hayley Hobson's life began to fall apart when she was unable to balance her work and home life. She realized that something needed to change and she allowed herself to shut down and reboot. "Shutting down" allowed her the opportunity to reflect on what she really needed in her life and she realized that her stress was causing physical problems and turned to holistic changes that turned her life around. Her book includes dozens of easy and healthy recipes, east-to-follow yoga sequences with accompanying pictures of poses, success tips to help you success in business, and advice on how to strengthen relationships with children, spouses, and other important people.
I could certainly relate to Hobson's story. My stress and demands have led to negative effects on my health and I often feel like I don't have the time or patience to live a healthier lifestyle. However, I found the book very inspiring. I do a lot better with sustaining positive lifestyle changes if I slowly implement different behaviors. So, I read through the book slowly and chose one or two changes to work on at a time. The book is very well organized and contains a lot of very valuable information. I am a huge fan of natural cures and holistic self-care so this book was a perfect fit for me. The recipes are easy to follow, I enjoyed the yoga poses, and loved the way Hobson integrated stories from her life into the text. This is a great book for any health-conscious person or even for the not-so-health conscious person who needs some motivation!

.2. GIVE THE GIFT OF AMAZING SCENT: Auric Blends
Auric Blends, creator of a dynamic line of fragrances, developed a line of products that captivates the emotion of love through the sense of smell. Auric Blends' Love fragrance is a blend of warm, yet slightly spicy scents which creates a feminine scent perfect. Love is available in the following products: glycerin soap, eau de parfum spray, perfume oil, roll-on perfume, and solid perfume.
The minute I smelled this scent I immediately fell in love (no pun intended) with the delicate and pleasing scent. It was not overwhelming and had a very natural scent to it. Plus, my allergies did not act up a bit! When I would use the perfume, I could not help but to keep sniffing my wrists because I loved the scent that much. My husband loved it as well!

3. GIVE THE GIFT OF BLING: Neil Lane Designs
Men, if you are reading this...listen closely. When in doubt, buy jewelry! I can seriously never have enough and a special necklace, ring, or bracelet is a gift that lasts a lifetime. Drawing from vintage designs, Neil Lane Designs personify the glamour of the old Hollywood standard of beauty while channeling modern red carpet style. Neil Lane is a distinguished designer who has created hand-crafted, treasured jewelry for some of Hollywood's legendary stars and Neil Lane Designs featured jewelry pieces that reflect classic Hollywood glamour.
As I looked through the different jewelry available from Neil Lane Designs, I drooled over the stunning and unique pieces. While I certainly would not be able to afford to fill my jewelry box with these pieces, it would be great to have one or two items that I could wear on special occasions. I adore their Black Onyx and diamond pieces. If the most important woman in your life has a reason to celebrate this upcoming year, then this would be the perfect gift to close out 2013.

5. GIVE A GIFT & SUPPORT BREAST CANCER AWARENESS: Ford Warriors in Pink
Ford first joined the fight against breast cancer in 1994, helping raise awareness and funds. Then, in 2006, Ford created Warriors in Pink, a line of clothing and gear that has an amazing 100% of its next proceeds going toward the cause. Within 18 years, Ford has dedicated more than $115 million to the fight against breast cancer! Not only is the cause important, but the products are awesome! There is a great assortment, something to fit just about anyone's taste. Plus, when you shop online you can see exactly how much is considered proceeds and goes toward the cause.
I have had the above pictured Warrior Power Tote for 7 months now and I use it every single day. I put way too much stuff in it and it has held strong with no signs of wear or tear. It is a beautiful and sturdy bag and I can't believe how much it can hold. You can read my full review for more information. If totes are not what you are looking for, then see their site for a great selection of products such as scarves, clothing, and accessories.
Buy it here: You can purchase this tote and a variety of other great products from the Warriors in Pink website.
