Discount Fragrance Gift Sets: Designer Perfume, Spray Bottles And Body Lotion

Ask almost any woman what she loves about her man, and she will answer "his cologne." One of the most common compliments paid to a woman is "I love the perfume you are wearing." Scents are one of the strongest bonding tools among humans. For this reason, fragrance gift sets are one of the most popular items to give and receive at holiday parties, birthdays and anniversaries.

Perfume and cologne tie couples together, and giving fragrance gift sets is the perfect way to ensure that scent bond will remain strong.

Fragrance gift sets can be purchased for men or women at a variety of locations. Large department stores often carry only designer perfumes and colognes. Specialty stores such as Bath & Body Works and Victoria's Secret carry their own brand of fragrance, and therefore only have their own fragrance gift sets. For discount prices, large retail stores such as Target and Wal-Mart offer lower prices, especially during and after the holidays. While most holidays require presents to be bought beforehand, many shoppers can find bargains after the holidays have passed. Gift sets can be purchased in early January for 50-75% off original prices. Even designer names, such as Britney Spears, can be purchased in fragrance gift sets for as low as $9 at the right time. No matter what the occasion, fragrance gift sets can be found to meet each and every need.

Fragrance gift sets range from $30 to $70 depending on the size, designer and purchase location. Large sets may include nine or 10 items, while smaller sets include three or four. Purchasing at Wal-Mart or discount stores such as Marshall's will provide a lower price than Macy's or Carson Pirie Scott. Especially during the holiday season, shopping and comparing prices at different stores ensures the best purchase price for fragrance gift sets. Another option for smaller budgets is purchasing travel sized fragrance gift sets. Perfect for frequent travelers, the smaller set will make for easy packing. Travel sized fragrance gift sets are also good for trying new scents or purchasing a small gift for someone whose taste is unknown.

Fragrance gift sets do not just hold perfume and cologne. Often in a decorative box or basket, the sets usually have a lighter version of the scent in body spray bottles and moisturizing body lotion. Body wash, shower gel and bubble bath are other possibilities for fragrance gift sets. Washcloths and shower puffs make good additions to gift baskets as well. Other beauty products such as nail polish or lip gloss are sometimes included for women. Scented votive candles and small tea lights are also frequently included in larger fragrance gift sets. Although many fragrance gift sets can be purchased for reasonable prices, taking advantage of discounted items and cheaper perfumes, such as the body spray bottles, can allow shoppers to create their own fragrance gift sets.

Fragrance gift sets are wonderful to receive, whether from another person or as a present to yourself. Necessities such as body lotion and body spray bottles are usually acquired at a discount when purchased in a gift set. Gift sets also make it easy to instantly have a fragrance makeover. With one purchase, the needs for new perfume, body lotion and shower gel are instantly fulfilled.
