From soft hands and kissable lips and silky smooth skin these holiday gift picks from Marigold Lane feature the yummiest flavors of the season including invigorating peppermint, spicy ginger, and the soothing scent of orange and might just be the perfect gift for you or anyone else that needs a little pampering right now--or any time!
1. Hugs & Kisses Gift Set
PRIMAVERA Certified Natural Skincare and Aromatherapy
Holiday flavors: Ginger, Lime, Orange, and Black Currant
What you get: A terrific gift set (pictured above) comprised of a ginger-lime scented hand and nail cream and a neroli-cassis lip balm in a beautifully packaged gift box. The ginger-lime hand cream is energizing and soothing while the lip balm is a thick soothing balm that seals in natural moisture to condition and protect lips from the harsh winter elements.
What I like best: The certified organic ingredients used by PRIMAVERA, a German company that recently debuted its products in the US. PRIMAVERA's partner farm in Sri Lanka provides the ginger, while the lime hails from Brazil and the Jojoba is cultivated in Peru.

Holiday flavor: Peppermint
What you get: Solid at room temperature, once the Body Lotion Bar is gently rubbed on your body, the heat of your skin causes it to "melt" where it is quickly absorbed into the skin making it feel soft and silky.
What I like best: The COOLA Body Lotion Bar is hypoallergenic, noncomedogenic, as well as PABA, Paraben, Petroleum and Phthalate-free and contains 97% certified organic inactive ingredients such as shea butter and almond and jojoba oils. The can is also aluminum and easy to recycle!
