"For the Hostess with the Mostest"

Pamper Me Pink Gift Basket

I'm so looking forward to the start of summer! Just a few more weeks until Memorial Day. Bring on the backyard barbecues! I've decided that I am opting out of bringing the old standby (potato salad) to my various hosts this season. Mayo has never done any favors for anyone! A bottle of wine perhaps? No, too predictable... I just might make up a lovely basket of my Flirty Gull goodies to offer to said hosts. I've found that handcrafted soaps are the perfect little luxury to have on hand for guests. And here at the Jersey Shore, my family, friends, and I find ourselves entertaining often. Check out one of my recent baskets here. The Pamper Me Pink basket is one of my girly girl favorites. It contains three Shea Butter handcrafted soaps, two large body lotions, moisturizing lip balm, pampering bath teas, and an adorable spa rubber duckie. I've included three of my favorite fragrances that are soothing and subtle for summer: Sweet Pea, Black Raspberry Vanilla, and Peppermint Twist. If you're wondering how to wow your host, come on over to www.flirtygull.com, and check out a great selection of delectable little luxuries.

Can you guess our new summer scent?

We're busy melting, pouring, and playing with some of our favorite summer scents. A new fragrance is in the works for our soap line. We'll give you a little hint. Think Garden State. It's Jersey fresh ... and no, it's not scented like Snookie. Can you guess what it is? Our new little addition to the line will debut Memorial Day weekend. Can't wait to see what you think...

Mother's Day Special

If you've checked out my Flirty Gull "About" page, you'll know that Mom holds a special place in my heart. Featured there are some great pictures of mom and grandmom- two very special Jersey girls living it up at the shore. In honor of Mother's Day, Flirty Gull will pack in a fun shower puff for FREE with any purchase until May 31st! Simply type the words, "Free gift for mom" in the notes section upon ordering.

Clean Cotton Days Are Here Again

Now that spring has sprung, there may be a laundry list of things to do! Spring cleaning anyone? If laundry day doesn't exactly excite you, we have a feeling that Flirty Gull's Clean Cotton Soap will. The scent is fresh and calming and may even inspire you to hang those linens on the line. Our customers love placing Clean Cotton handcrafted soap in their linen closets and dresser drawers for a little fragrant boost that will last well after the last spring buds have bloomed.

Flirty Gull's Top Ten Ways To Stress Less This Holiday Season

2. Host holiday guests in style. Keep a pretty basket with toiletries on hand in the guest room. Hotel samples collected on trips throughout the year make great additons to the basket. Add a bar or two of handcrafted soap for the ultimate luxury... just don't blame us if guests want to stay a few extra days.
