Good Scents

Holiday shopping can be a little trying. Carrying all those bags, elbowing your way through crowds, yanking sweaters out of fellow shopper's hands: all these things make for quite the workout. I enjoy the calorie burn, the rush of the score, and the satisfaction of fabulous gifts bought, but at the end of the day I need a little pampering.

Bring your bruises, your aching muscles, and your sore upper arms to Country Herbs at The Holiday Shops at Bryant Park. Country Herbs, a family owned business, sells aromatherapy herbal heat packs in different shapes to fit every part of your aching body:

Slippers, warm and cozy. And the shoulder wrap, a great gift for your hard-working loved ones.











Made with cotton fabric and terrycloth, these soothing packs are filled with rice, flax seeds and a mixture of 12 different herbs including chamomile, lavender, and cinnamon. Mmmmm, I'm feeling loose and relaxed already. Just heat and serve. Or you can freeze them to use as an ice pack. These are some versatile packs, yes? And they'll get you right back in shape for more holiday shopping in no time.

Price range: $12 - $37
