What a beautiful hotel... we'll be staying in New York for a couple of nights right after New Year's day, but somewhere a little more modestly priced, perhaps!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great gift idea Jennifer!

I'm always fascinated by how something so mundane as soap can automatically turn into something interesting with some beautiful packaging (and who wouldn't like soap from the Carlyle!). Nice gift idea.
ReplyDeleteMe, Myself- You're so right! I admit I'm a sucker for nice packaging :)
