New Product Alert: The Tree House from Philosophy

August 15, 2007

As a kid, I loved going back-to-school shopping with my mom. Even if we didn't have much money to spend, it got me excited about the promise of the school year ahead. Now that I'm out of school, I don't have any reason to buy notebooks and pencils—but The Tree House still brings back that sense of elementary-school excitement.

Philosophy's The Tree House ($25) is a new kit for hands. Housed inside a cardboard treehouse are two mini-sized products: An Apple A Day hand wash and hand cream. Both have the scent of a crisp red delicious apple, and 100% of net proceeds go directly to PBS Kids. The limited-edition set is available only online and at Macy's. It would be a sweet back-to-school gift for a teacher. What do you think?

My roommate is a teacher and I gave her The SchoolHouse last year on the first day of school. Too bat this TreeHouse one also contains the apple scent, or I'd get her this one for her new teaching position.

Okay I'm an EXCEPTIONAL butt kisser. I really appreciate my teachers and I gift all the time, but I have a special needs child so I REALLY know how hard teachers work. I love this and am bookmarking it.
