|  Garden Essentials Lip Balm - Sale Price: $2.95
This Lip Balm is a renewing salve for dry or chapped lips and made with ingredients from nature. It comes in a stylish English tin with an easy to use twist off cap. It is a substance topically applied to the lips of the mouth to relieve chapped or dry lips. The primary purpose of Lip Balm is to provide an occlusive layer on the lip surface to seal moisture in lips and protect them from external exposure. Dry air, cold temperatures and wind all have a drying effect on skin by drawing moisture away from the body. Lips are particularly vulnerable because the skin is so thin. Use Garden Essentials Lip Balm and see what a difference it will make on your lips. 15 oz. No animal has been used in the testing of this product. |

|  Lavender Bouquet - Sale Price: $22.95
Lavender Bouquet The very blue lavender in our delightful Lavender Bouquet is grown at a family farm in rural Provence in southern France. This selection of deep-blue lavender has won numerous awards for its unique color and strong yet pleasing scent. Over the years, the family has selected the bluest plants that grow wild in the countryside, and then they carefully divided and propagated the plants. The result is very grey plant foliage and very blue flowers. The scent is more intense and more pleasing than typical lavender. It is a difference in the plants, but also in the altitude where the plants are grown, as the blue plants seem to like the higher altitude best. The Lavender Bouquet is a lovely gift or accent in any room. Hang it in the kitchen, place on a bedside table, freshen up a bathroom or place anywhere that you can enjoy the beautiful color and fragrance of this dried bouquet. This is a very thoughtful gift that will last much longer than a bouquet of fresh flowers. Bouquet measures 13 ½ ‘’ x 6 ½’’. Makes a great gift for Mother's Day! |
