 STOCKING STUFFERS FOR SPA LOVERS:
LITTLE AND NOT-SO-LITTLE GIFT SETS
THAT ARE SURE TO PLEASE!
by Jessica Skropanic
Here’s what’s hot on every spa-lover’s holiday gift list! The staff at Worldwide Spa Review Magazine has enjoyed bringing you stories on healthy and beautifying products. Now your reviewers have created a list collected from the many superb companies whose products we’ve reviewed for you in Worldwide Spa Review Magazine. Below are the average prices I’ve found on the Internet, a description of each gift or kit, and the URL at which you can read the original product review. I also included some comments from our reviewers about some of the products they tested, and web addresses for the original reviews. Granted, you may have some trouble cramming some of these items into the average stocking or into a bag meant for Hanukkah gelt, but you’ll probably have fun trying.

G M COLLIN
See the article in our March/April 2005 issue of Worldwide Spa Review Magazine and in the July/August 2005 issue. When I did the review of G M Collin’s Bota-Peptide 5 I should have added that one of the areas where the product worked most dramatically was on the backs of my hands. I am 38, but my hands always look much older. (I blame house cleaning.)

OILS OF ALOHA
 See the article in our November/December 2004 issue of Worldwide Spa Review Magazine. Since I covered these products I have literally purchased four dozen bottles of kukui oil to give to a few lucky friends and to hoard for myself. I also gave a bottle to a friend whose husband suffers from terrible psoriasis. When I saw her again two weeks later, she literally ran up to me and started to thank me profusely. Nothing has given him relief from the symptoms like this oil!

JANE IREDALE
 See the article in our May/June 2004 issue of Worldwide Spa Review Magazine. I have to mention that by pure coincidence, one of the editors and I exchanged One-4-All kits for Christmas. I will never be without one again! Not only do I love it, it cleared out my handbag of all of the loose make-up containers. I can carry a little purse again! I’ve already dropped hints for another one this year.
