Not just for active gals, Lucky Legs has done wonders for reviving my stiff legs after a long day of sitting at the computer.

This is the jackpot of rescue remedies to help relieve your hard-working legs and feet when they are just exhausted, swollen, heavy and in need of intense refreshment. A mini-spa treatment that glides on to instantly cool and ease weary limbs from knees to tippy toes.

Clinically tested ingredients leave you with feather-light legs, reducing discomfort and helping circulation. You will also notice a super-subtle sparkly-shimmer on your shins; this is the ultimate knees-up for your knees down!

I was so happy to get the opportunity to review Lucky Legs and couldn’t wait to receive my complimentary tube. It sat on my desk for about a week before I remembered it was there, and I finally noticed it and decided to give it a try last night.

The subtle sparkle is fabulous… I wanted to slather this all over my whole body after I saw how pretty my legs looked all shimmery!! It felt lovely on my legs for a few moments… enough to give me the sense of calming relief. And the scent is what relaxed me the most I think… although it did remind me of toothpaste. Overall I did notice a sense of relief in my legs that were, quite frankly, sore and tired from not getting enough activity that day. Sitting at a desk all day isn’t as relaxing as it sounds…

I think this would make a great stocking stuffer this Christmas or a great addition to a gift basket. It’s also nice to have on hand for when you feel like relaxing and treating yourself to a little “me time”.

Lush in detail and symbolism, artist Kelly Vivanco’s hopeful images are reminders to fly, grow, and always look forward to what the future holds for you.  $30 – $36 from Uncommon Grounds.

I love receiving artwork, whether it’s actually made by my friends, or just picked out by them.  For anyone who lives in a dorm, it’s hard to bring a lot of art to your living space; too many rules and too little room.  “Functional art,” the kind you can actually carry with you, is much better.  The two pieces above are a wallet and a mirror, respectively.

Add some style to your purse with the dashing damsels on these tampon cases.  The mysterious miss, the swingin’est secret agent, and the magnificent mermaid are each dashing, discreet, and packed with style – and they can hold all your change and make-up, too.  $30 from Uncommon Grounds.

These retro cases are adorable, and while storing tampons is certainly a viable use, that’s not all they can hold!  Lip gloss, notes, whatever strikes her fancy (and can fit)!  Such a charming little gift, for your favorite lovely lady.

Carry your lipstick in style in this elegant embroidered lipstick case.  There is a mirror underneath the cover.  Comes in assorted colors.  $3.00 each (regularly $4.95) from Spoon Sisters.

Another sweet gift idea; one of these would make a great stocking stuffer.  Or, buy her a new tube of her favorite lipstick and slip it in here for a special surprise!  These lipstick holders may not have graphics, but the embroidery creates a lovely artistic exterior just as easily.
