NATURAL SKIN CARE BY be Delectable
When it comes to buying fun teen marketed skin care products as gifts, it’s hard to find something that your teen will love but doesn’t contain all the nasty chemicals that cause early puberty or cancer. It seems everything out there that looks fun and smells good contains parabens, SLS and worse. Rejoice! We have found something you can gift and gift and gift without feeling guilty. The most amazing new line of sweet smelling luxurious products that include body mists, shower gels, body polishes, hand cream, body lotions and feature yummy flavors like strawberry and cream, lemon and cream, coconut and cream and vanilla and cream.
Your house might not smell like Christmas after your teens use these products, but you’ll strangely get a craving for dessert. The line, available at Kohls, was designed by a mother of three who wanted better things for her children. It is 95% natural and made with the finest ingredients, including coconut oil, aloe vera and shea butter. It’s free of parabens, sodium chloride, phthalates, sodium lauryl sulfate, GMO’s, mineral oil, petrolatum, gluten or triclosan, and is not tested on animals.
And the best part? It won’t break your wallet. Every product in the be Delectable line is affordable at $10-$14 per bottle. Gift kits are available for those wishing to send these amazing products to everyone they know.
Dry Erase Helmet by Wipeout

Hot Iron Holster: Perfect for Any Teen Girl
It’s no secret that so many teen girls (and moms too!) can’t live without their flat irons and curling irons. But, all these tools we use to style our hair take up precious space in the bathroom or the bedroom. And, with those long cords and uneven surfaces, they’re constantly falling all over the place, burning everything they come in contact with (including our hands). Enter Hot Iron Holster: a heat-resistant, silicone pouch that holds any hot hair styling tool by clinging to smooth surfaces. It’s the perfect gift for any teen who loves to style her hair with hot styling tools!
The hot iron holster is the perfect addition to any teen girl’s bedroom or bathroom. It comes in four awesome colors: pink, purple, black and white. And, it saves space in tiny bathrooms or bedrooms. The super clingy material makes it so easy to stick them to the toilet tank, the sink or even a bedroom dresser all while keeping hot styling tools safely contained and right at her fingertips when she’s ready to use them.
