Okay, as promised, I’ve got 5 bottles of Jessica Simpson’s “Fancy” perfume to give away to my wonderful readers! If you missed out on the chance to get a bottle of Paris Hilton’s Fairy Dust, here’s your chance to get an equally beautiful, but delightfully DIFFERENT fragrance.

Fancy is a little sweeter, a little more flowery. The initial whiff makes me think of some kind of not-sicky-sweet candy. (This makes perfect sense if you’re familiar with any of Jessica Simpson’s cosmetics, of course.)

It’s definitely not a “mature” scent, though would be perfect for a wife or girlfriend, or even a teenage/college age girl. So here’s the deal…

Leave a comment below and I’ll keep this post open until late night Wednesday, December 17th. I’m HOPING, but in no way guarantee-ing that winners will get their bottle before Christmas. They’re shipped by Jessica’s PR firm, and not me, so I have really no control over that, but let’s all cross fingers and keep hope, okay?

Make sure that you use a valid email address (but don’t put it IN the comment, put it in the email field only, so you don’t get spammed) that you check regularly. Winners must respond within 24 hours of receiving notification by me, or you will forfit your bottle and it will go to someone else… I’m really trying hard to make sure these get out before Christmas as best I can!

I don’t know how they did it. My parents always found the coolest stocking stuffers for me. Sure, a lot of it was chocolates, one of which was always a Chocolate Orange. But there were all these nifty little trinkets and stuff in there, and I’ve decided to find some great ones to list here, for under $5. Check ‘em out!

Foil Square Stretch Bracelet from Avenue
Don’t you just love the coppery browns of this stretch bracelet? It’s glass beads, and believe me, you don’t have to be plus-sized in order to wear this. It fits perfectly on just about any size wrist. And for only five bucks, you can’t beat it!

Avenue Signature Body Cream
Also only $5, the Avenue Signature Body Cream comes in delicious fragrances and works very well on rough, dry, cracked hands and feet! Give two, one for the nightstand, one for the purse! I love this stuff, my favorite is the “Delicious” scent!

Urban Boundaries Super Soft Fashion Stripe Toe Socks
Aren’t these the cutest!? I love toe socks. They’re usually really soft, and they help keep you from getting funky foot because your toes are dry. Great to slip on after a shower or bath, or just at night when you’re curling up on the sofa with some hot cocoa!

Port Authority – Extra Long Fleece Scarf via Amazon.com
I adore long, warm, not-too-thick scarves. I have a huge hot pink one like this that I wear with my boiled wool short coat, and it always attracts attention. This grey one would be fabulous with black, light blue, or even a red coat, don’t you think? And for $4.52 you can’t beat it!

Green Bird Print Cosmetic Case via Amazon.com
It’s cute, it’s got a trendy little green bird on it, and it’s only $4! I think my makeup/cosmetic case collection is already too big, but I just might have to buy this one for myself! Too adorable!

I’ve included my top 8 beauty and fashion picks for really, everyone in your life…

• Wives and Girlfriends
• Husbands and Boyfriends
• Parents, Aunts and Uncles
• Grandparents
• Kids: Boys
• Kids: Girls
• Female Coworkers & Friends
• Male Coworkers & Friends

The cool thing about this shopping list is that at the bottom of each section, I’ve included links to Amazon.com’s ultimate gift guides for each category. Some are more specific than others, but they’re all there. If what I, The List Maven, has chosen to be the ultimate gift, you can browse the category provided by Amazon to help you find exactly what you’re looking for!

Okay, so there’s more than one cool thing, but this one’s really nifty: Some of the items listed in the shopping lists are actually items that will be soon reviewed and given away, right here on The List Maven! I’m not going to tell you yet which ones, but don’t hesitate to grab that perfect gift for someone else, even though you’ve got a chance to win one here, because you know as well as I do that we often buy things for others that we’d want to get ourselves, so you can buy one for a gift, and keep the one you win for yourself!

Anyway, there it is… save yourself the hassle of trudging out in the snow and ice, and get shopping from the comfort of your computer with The List Maven and Amazon.com!
