12 Days of Christmas Gift Ideas: Day 9 {Perfume/Cologne}

Perfume/cologne is a great gift idea because everyone wears perfume/cologne. For a more affordable option, I highly recommend the fragrances at Rue 21. Rue 21's fragrances cost $9.99, so they're very affordable. Other than that, I would recommend going to Macy's and picking whatever you think the person you're giving it to would like. Ed Hardy is my favorite line- I think their men's and women's fragrances smell great. Taylor Swift, Paris Hilton, and Britney Spears all have great fragrances for women. Perfume and cologne are gifts that are great for any budget because you have so many options price wise.
