2009 Thanksgifting Holiday Gift Guide: Who Wants to Smell Like Diddy? Plus, Other Celeb Fragrances...
Seasons Greetings!
Hopefully we've already gotten your brains stirring with some crazy gift ideas. If you're still simmering though, it's okay, we've got more...
It’s crazy to think that celebrities make mondo bucks off of their fragrance lines, but they really do. And you’re probably wondering who really buys this stuff. We’ve all wondered too, and then we all purchased some as gifts.
In most cases, we are soooooo not trying to give someone that hint that they smell. You just pick up the biggest fragrance kit ever at the last minute and wrap it in pretty paper, right?
Well, that’s why celebrity fragrances are handy presents. Who does wanna smell like the hot primal essence (or torso or armpit) of your loved one’s favorite celebrity?
1. Justin Timberlake for Givenchy
This year, pick up Justin Timberlake’s new scent. He is the face of luxe label Givenchy’s newest masculine fragrance “Play.” It’s kind of amusing because the discrete bottle resembles an mp3 player. It’s perfect if he (or she) is a music lover. Or if they don't have an iPod and they think you gave them one. Ha-har! Joke's on them!
Wanna Live? Just Press Play...
2. David Beckham and Victoria Beckham Fragrances
How about David and Victoria Beckham to serve you up some his and her smell-goods? Sure, it’s just another addition to their weird empire, and of course you’re not intentionally trying to add to their billions, but it’s a cheeky gift. The Beckhams seem too cool and too perfect not to create the best smelling perfumes ever.
Signature for Him; Signature for Her
Message: Get Intimate this Holiday Season.
Your all-time favorite celeb has an entire line of fragrances under her belt so you can just grab ‘em all up and put ‘em under the tree. Britney's newest fragrance is Circus Fantasy. If you're not sold, you can always get a classic, Curious, one of her best perfumes yet.
Do you Dare?
And then there's Brit-Brit's classic gay stank: Smell like a 'MO!!!!
4. Christina Aguilera by Christina Aguilera
Christmas equals black lace, seduction, and Marilyn Monroe... Okay it doesn't actually, but it sure can. Christina's latest fragrance was inspired by all three. It's just plain sexy. Who wouldn't want that?Provocative
5. Miley Cyrus
For the little ones (or your 47-year-old gay uncle Brad), even Miley Cyrus has a line of perfume. You can pick up Hannah Montana Cologne or Hannah Montana Eau de Toilette Spray for Girls to stuff some stockings. And for your friends that are way too grown for Disney's Hannah Montana, but are still quite obsessed with Miss Miley, Hannah Montana Secret Star Perfume for Women is the perfect gift.
Let them become a rock star.
6. Power by 50
Maybe this is all too bubbly for your liking. If that’s the case, 50 Cent’s new Power by 50 will suit your taste just fine. On Nov. 5, he launched the new men's fragrance exclusively at Macy's, just in time for the holidays. Let your loved ones smell like success with this gift. The composition of lemon leaves, black pepper, artemisia, dark wood, coriander, nutmeg, patchouli, musk and oak moss is supposed to equal success. Who knows how? We sure don't know, but that doesn't matter, as long as it smells nice.
Don't ya just love the smell of trying-too-hard masculinity in a bottle?
7. And yes, 'cuz we mentioned it; here's a link to Diddy's Unforgivable scents. The name says it all. Yikes!
So, go ahead... Free yourself and your loved ones from receiving yet another Bath & Body Works or Vicki’s Body Spray. Give a gift that’s unique and thought out. And preposterously celeb-tastic. And which you can actually probably get at the CVS on the corner. Jolly, indeed.
