12/15-12/17 Volkswagen Jetta on Gilt Groupe

By now I assume all of you have heard of (and many of you are members) of the online sample sale website, Gilt Groupe. And if not, you should, they sell just about everything, and I mean everything –fashion, accessories, jewelry, travel, events and lifestyle sales on luxury merchandise and experiences at up to 70%.

Having recently partnered with Volkswagen, they can now add cars to their list of categories. Tomorrow beginning at noon ET, Gilt will be selling three all-new 2011 Volkswagen for $5,995!! Originally priced at $15,995, they are dropping the “1” from the price, knocking out $10k. Additionally one third of the proceeds of the sale (nearly $18,000) will be donated to the charity Dress for Success. This sale will

Whole Foods Helps You Find the Perfect Gift

Whole Foods Bowery Location in NYC

For many of us when we think Whole Foods, we think food. Although some of us do shop their Whole Body section as well. What can you find in Whole Body?  Vitamins and supplements, bath and body care, hair and beauty products, yoga items, cards, magazines and gifts.

Whole Body Personal Shoppers

This holiday season Whole Foods is offering personal shoppers at all of their northeast locations. No appointment needed, just visit the Whole Body section and look for a team member wearing a recycled apron and gift tag. They are available everyday from 10am-8pm through January 1st. Members of the team are on hand for all of your gift needs, whether it be to introduce you to a variety of pre-selected gift sets (all under $20) or to help you select those perfect custom gifts. They also offer complimentary gift-wrapping for your convenience.

An assortment of Blessing Baskets

Featuring everything from holiday scented candles to lotion gift sets. Whole Foods adheres to strict level of quality standards (read more about that HERE) coinciding with their belief with what you put in your body is as important as what you put in your body. So whether you’re shopping popular brands like Burt’s Bees, Kiss My Face, Dr. Haushka,  ShiKai, or local products such as LUX Naturals handcrafted soaps (which smell phenomenal) or their philanthropic offerings including Blessing Basket (where your purchase plants crops, improved nutrition, buys livestock, educated children, protects forests and most importantly reduces poverty), you feel good about your selection.

For NYC, the Whole Body I’m partial to their Bowery location. It takes up the whole 2nd floor of Whole

Kiehl’s Donates $225,000 to The Koons Family Institute

The check presentation! In this picture: Justine Koons, Jeff Koons, Cheryl Vitali (General Manager, Kiehl's Worldwide), Chris Salgardo (President, Kiehl's USA)

Earlier this week I joined Kiehl’s for their holiday party and benefit, hosted by contemporary artist, Jeff Koons. Back in October (you may remember me posting about this), Kiehl’s and Koons had launched a limited edition Creme de Corps collection with all the net proceeds benefiting The Koons Family Institute, an initiative of the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC). The theme of the collection and party was a Wonderland of Merry. And the evening was just that, complete with a special check presentation by Kiehl’s President, Chris Salgardo to Mr. Koons for the amount of $225,000 for his charity.
