It's a real treat to see runway fashions presented in other ways than on showroom hangers or department store aisles. Take, for instance, Clark's Botanicals' new limited-edition Peter Som For Clark's Botanicals Travel Kit ($59). It features a bold floral-print clutch from Peter Som's Fall 2011 collection, but it's what's inside that will have you doing a little happy dance.
Included are: two Ultra-Rich Lip Tints; Ultra Rich Lip Balm; deluxe samples of Smoothing Marine Cream and Intense Radiance Mask; and sample packs of Nourishing Youth Serum and Anti-Puff Eye Cream. Not only is it one pretty, posh deal, but the set would make the perfect stocking stuffer for you or someone else.

To find out more about these goods, just wave your cursor over each one.
Do TSA travel regulations have your head spinning? Thanks to 3floz.com you don't have to give them a second thought. Sick of having to search the ends of the earth to compile their favorite travel-friendly products and frustrated with the thought of packing extra bags in an attempt to accommodate their full-sized items, founders Kate Duff and Alexi Mintz recently launched the site with the intent to feature products they are passionate about themselves — like SpaRitual, Yes to Carrots, and Philip B. I can also see this site as a great resource for sampling high end products without making a full-size-type commitment. Such a smart, simple business plan — why nobody did this before, I do not know.
Last night, I hung the stockings with joy — unfortunately, they didn't come pre-embossed with a "Bella" or a "Mr. Bella." Go figure. Eh, it's nothing a little Crayola Glitter Glue Pens ($3.49) and my steady makeup hand can't handle.
