Every day feels like a holiday when you've got your soul mate at your side. That's all the more reason, come holiday time, to present him with the perfect gift that celebrates his distinctive personality — and your love and appreciation of it! Whether he's a sports fan, a style maven, a grooming guru, or a geek at heart, our insightful gift guide below has all the shopping inspiration you need.

Finger-Tipping Good
He'll "glove" texting, emailing, dialing, and playing in snug style with a pair of "smart" gloves featuring special fingertips conducive to touch-screen devices.

Smarter Than the Average Tie
Think cozy, not stuffy, with a textured tie made from an unexpected (but Winter-friendly) material like soft Fair Isle or warm and wooly flannel.

Carry On
Maybe he's always on the go for business, maybe he's got a touch of wanderlust, or maybe he's just tired of toting his toothbrush back and forth from your place in a plastic baggie. Either way, every guy needs a handsome toiletry case with room for all his must haves.

Winning Ways
Can't compete with his love of the game? See if his passion transfers to some of your childhood favorites with keepsake editions of classics like checkers, dominoes, charades, or playing cards.

Cuff 'Em
Even the most low-key dude needs a quality pair of cuff links for those times when you just have to suit up. Despite their stodgy rep, there's lots of fun to be had with personalization — from sports (or sports team) to food-and-drink to comic character themes.

Eye Do
Sunglasses are more than a style staple; they offer essential eye protection all year round. Give his baby blues, browns, or greens the TLC they deserve with a classic pair of aviators — universally flattering and always chic.

Facial Flair

Whether he favors a simple goatee, a thin chin strap, or a clean shave with sharp sideburns, the Gillette Fusion ProGlide Styler lets your man master his best look, even in the shower. The 3-in-1 facial hair styling tool trims evenly, shaves closely, and edges accurately — and rinses easily under a stream of water when he's done. Even better, the ProGlide Styler comes in an Organizer case so his styling tools are as well put together as he is. Don't forget to include some Gillette Fusion ProGlide Clear Shave Gel in his stocking!

Mom always said that confidence was a girl's best accessory — and the secret to wearing it well is simply knowing and dressing for your body type. With the right fashion tricks, you can conceal your every insecurity and enhance your best assets. So go ahead and make your momma proud! Consider these tips to make the most of your shape and skin to look and feel great:

• TO CONCEAL a tummy . . .
REVEAL your upper body with a bold statement necklace or a blouse with an embellished neckline. If you've got slender legs, show them off by pairing an empire-waisted top over black leggings.

• TO CONCEAL a large bust . . .
REVEAL your curves in a wrap dress that accentuates your waist, or a well-tailored blazer that covers your chest while amplifying your silhouette. You can also elongate your neckline (and balance out your bust) by choosing tops with a flattering V- or scoop-neck.

• TO CONCEAL a wider bottom . . .
REVEAL a flair for patterns — and a pattern for wearing flares! Look for tops and dresses in interesting patterns and prints that distract the eye, and A-line skirts that drape without clinging.

TO CONCEAL a problem area above the neck . . .
Try new Abreva® Conceal™, a clear, nonmedicated patch that instantly hides cold sores and blemishes for a fabulous, flawless finish. Click here to learn more.

Putting together the perfect family photo is an annual tradition for fashion director Stacey King, as is relying on eBay for one-of-a-kind finds to style the shoot. It's not easy to convey the essence of your family's personality in one quick snapshot, but for this mom of two, it "all comes back to the clothes" — which, this year, means beautiful pastels for the boys and a fantastic white dress for herself!

Check out the video above to find out what Stacey loves most about shopping on eBay (hint: so many things are brand spanking new!), and take a peek inside her family's holiday photo shoot. Then visit the site yourself and dress your family to impress — this holiday season, and beyond.

It’s like Murphy’s Law of exercising: anyone you don’t want to run into while you’re at your absolute sweatiest, you most likely will—whether it’s that cute guy from your building or perhaps more embarrassing: your boss. And although we don’t advise hitting the treadmill in full makeup or wasting a good blow out on hot yoga, there are some easy ways to conceal or downplay your pulse-racing “problem areas” so you can face just about anyone with confidence.

1. PROBLEM AREA #1: BAD HAIR
CONCEAL IT: Invest in a few stylish hair accessories—wide and skinny headbands in fun colors, scarves and wraps in fun prints—and cover up completely, or use to accent a plain ponytail.

2. PROBLEM AREA #4: SEEING SPOTS
CONCEAL IT: Full makeup is a definite workout “don’t,” but it’s OK to correct minor imperfections with a little spot treatment. Just dab a bit of foundation or BB cream on the standout areas. For cold sores and pimples too try new Abreva® Conceal™, a clear, non-medicated patch that instantly conceals your blister or blemish and enables you to apply makeup on top—all the while creating a protective barrier that allows air in while keeping contaminants out.

Of all the reasons to stay in bed, a cold sore definitely tops the list. Just one look in the mirror makes you want to run and hide! But now thanks to the experts at Abreva®, flare-ups don’t have to be such a downer.

New Abreva® Conceal™ is unlike any cold sore coverage you’ve ever known. The clear, non-medicated patch instantly conceals your blister or blemish and enables you to apply makeup on top—all the while creating a protective barrier that allows air in while keeping contaminants out. The results are flawless…so you can go on looking (and feeling) fabulous!

To use, simply follow these step-by-step instructions:
1. Gently Clean and dry the area where the patch will go.
2. Peel the applicator tab from the clear backing, without touching the sticky circle
3. Press on Conceal™ firmly in the center, and hold for 15 seconds.
4. Gently pull away the applicator tab at a slight angle.
5. Powder and follow your daily makeup regimen, tip stipple your normal foundation with a sponge for a flawless finish

Official Rules

Is your favorite body wash nourishing your skin or stripping what keeps it beautiful? The truth is, even moisturizing body washes can be harsh, removing proteins and lipids essential for healthy, soft, great-looking skin. Your best bet is a body wash that offers gentle cleansing plus nourishment—an ultra caring combo found exclusively in Dove® Body Wash.

Only Dove® Body Washes combine gentle cleansing with NutriumMoisture technology, a dual approach to healthy skin that repairs and maintains its protective layer during cleansing.

See the difference for yourself. Click here to watch a video demonstrating how new Dove® Body Wash cares for skin better than some of the most popular brands on the market.

For some people, life’s major milestones (quitting a job, getting engaged) are a source of stress. For Steffinnie Phrommany, they’re a chance to embrace a bold new look and help others in the process — by donating her beautiful locks to support women with cancer.

Now that she’s expecting a baby, this veteran donator is marking the occasion by trimming her long locks into a classic bob for Pantene’s Beautiful Lengths program. Watch this video for an inside look, plus learn how new ‘dos have impacted her personality in the past and why she’s dedicated to donating again…and again.

Who says you can’t make a good thing better? Certainly not the makers of Dove® Body Wash, who have just made the superiorly nourishing body wash even more amazing by combining the brand’s mildest cleansers ever with NutriumMoisture™.

The truth is: even moisturizing body washes can be harsh, stripping essential nutrients from your skin. With the addition of sodium cocoyl glycinate, an ultra-mild cleanser that was previously used only in high-end face cleansing products (ooh-la-la!),
Dove® Body Wash truly cleans up against the competition—including Olay and, Dial —offering the extra-gentle TLC your skin needs, deserves, and simply won’t get anywhere else!

Picture this. You've had a late night out with the girls and not only is it way past your bedtime, but the thought of having to go through your normal cleanse, tone, serum, eye cream, moisturise regime makes you sigh, hard.
