For the Hostess with the Mostess - Kat Burki Body & Batho

Looking for the perfect holiday hostess gift? Check out KatBurkiHome.com. The Beauty Bars and Candles are so unique and would make the perfect gift for someone who is playing host this holiday season.

Kat Burki is a luxury lifestyle line, dedicated to bringing you all you need to live your life in style. Beginning as a home furnishings company, Kat Burki is now an all encompassing collection of beautiful furniture, lighting, accessories, body & bath, apparel, leisure items, gifts, and fabrics.

I have the Lightly Lavender Beauty Bar at home and the scent is overwhelmingly good. Just having the soap displayed on the bathroom counter fills the room with the scent of lavender.

Does your man need a new cologne? This is it. Diesel Only the Brave 'represents the qualities of the brave, symbolized by a fist that tells several stories: Facing forward, the fist evokes power and energy.' Not only the packaging unbelievably unique, but it smells so good.

My husband loves this cologne. It transfers great from day to night, and the bottle is a fun addition to his side of the vanity.

The limited Edition Eau de Toilette 2.5 oz is $65.00. You can find it at Macy's and Diesel Boutiques. Be one of the Brave.
