Hi Folks.

This one is for US based readers only.  Sorry, but international shipping (even to Canada) is just too expensive.

Are you having trouble coming up with that perfect Christmas gift for a certain someone this year?  Something that is unique and at the same time affordable?

Several months ago I started working with a young couple who handcraft hand and body lotions using organic compounds, and then scent them according to the season of the year.  As Christmas is approaching, they’ve chosen Frankincense as their December fragrance.

If you’ve never experienced Frankincense before (and most of us haven’t) it is one of the most amazing and yet difficult fragrances to describe.  It’s sweet, yet spicy, and has some overtones of the forest, cinnamon and at least two other compounds I think I recognize but just can’t put my finger upon.

And yet it is in no way overpowering.  It’s a light scent that is pleasing to the senses.  It’s no wonder Frankincense was an item highly prized by royalty during Biblical times, and in fact is one of the three gifts presented to the Christ child when the Three Wise Men (or Magi) made their pilgrimage.

And for those of you who teach (or attend) Sunday school and/or church services, Frankincense scented Hand Lotion will give you a chance to share a piece of Biblical history with others.  It’s safe to say that the vast majority of Christians (1) have heard of Frankincense due to its close relation to Jesus Christ, and (2) have never had any type of personal contact with a product made from or containing Frankincense, so to them it is just a word or a name.  You can now bring that portion of the Christmas story to life for them by the simple act of sharing a dab of hand lotion.

We have 100 bottles of BellaMichiko Hand and Body Lotion remaining in the 3.8 oz size.  Normally we sell these bottles for $29.95 apiece, but my partners have agreed to let me make you a 2 for 1 offer good through this weekend only.  Buy one bottle for $29.95 and get the second bottle for free, and we pay for the Priority Shipping.  This offer is only good through Monday evening at midnight eastern, and all purchases will ship Tuesday morning via U.S. Priority Mail, meaning you should have your order in hand by the weekend in most cases (with plenty of time to wrap and give them away at the office Christmas party, if that is your intention).

And as with all products we sell, 10% of the sales price will be donated to SmileTrain, a charity that pays for cleft lip and cleft palate repair all over the world.  If you’ve never heard of SmileTrain before, let me assure you they are one of the top rated charities in the United States.  All of their administrative costs are covered by private donations, so everything you give goes towards getting surgery for kids in need.  SmileTrain has long been my favorite place to give and I’m proud to be able to use this new business as a way to increase our donations.

Because we only have 100 bottles remaining and are doing a Buy One-Get One sale, we can only fill 50 orders, and once those bottles are gone we are done for the year.  Once we hit 50 sales we will take down the checkout page, so if you click the link below and get an error message the odds are very good we have sold out of our inventory.

So if you are looking for a gift that is not only elegant but affordable and gives you the bonus of helping a child in need, click the link below and order your Frankincense Hand and Body Lotion while there is still time.
