EcoTOOLS

Green makeup brushes that are inexpensive and high quality applicators for a variety of tasks.

The entire range of brushes have bamboo handles.  The bristles are made of animal-free Taklon, a soft pliable synthetic hair, and metallic ferrule made of recycled aluminum cans. EcoTools brushes are sold in reusable pouches printed with a plant-based ink. They’re easy to find. Single brushes range from $2.99 to $7.99 at Walgreens and Kmart. We tried their 6 piece brush set for $12.99 and loved them for travel especially.

Parker Pens

Whether old school fountain pens, or roller ball ink, these one time American classics are still around, though sadly not made here anymore.  This is a great gift for anyone, especially students, businessmen or those who love to write with style.

The story of Parker goes way back to Wisconsin in 1888, as George Safford Parker created what was to become a revolutionary design in ink preservation, called the lucky curve feed.  This was well before ball-point pens, and certainly was a distinguished gift then, as it still is today.

No nasty parabens, 70% Organic, made in the USA, and naturally enriched with Essential Fatty Acids (EFA's) this moisture balancing creme is absorbed quickly with no oily residue. Perfect for all skin types.  Inexpensive and a great stocking stuffer to protect skin from winter.

Aubrey GPB Glycogen Protein Balancing Shampoo and Conditioner

Thinner and less sudsy than traditional shampoo, this nutrient and protein-enriched shampoo mends hair, as it rehydrates in a moisturizing herbal oil based formula that fill sdamaged keratin and smooths hair fiber.  Ideal for those sensitive to chemicals and surfactents that lather up.  Rosemary Peppermint is what we tried and liked.

Good fitting cozy sweats are the hottest looks in Hollywood, specifically amongst the young Hollywood Frat Pack. The de rigeur uniform spotted all ove the Strip consists of lusciously comfortable sweatpants, sweatshirts and the ultimate soft tees from the new loungewear brand, UNCL.  Seth Rogen, Jack Black, Jonah Hill, Danny McBride, Jason Segal and Adam Sandler are huge fans of the brand.  Reasonable prices (between $25-$47), these affordable pieces make awesome stocking stuffers for the dudes.
