Hot stuff celebrities love for the holidays

 

Sniff

Laurent Delafon has a pretty enviable job. The founder of United Perfumes travels the world spreading good scents. He dropped into Miami to show off the 2012 Fornasetti Profumi collection, from candles and boxed incense sticks to ceramic globe diffusers and crystals. Rachel Zoe and Madonna reportedly love the Italianate packaging. At En Avance and The Webster. www.fornasetti.com

Drink

SKYY Vodka’s Limited Edition Blue Velvet bottle is what’s hot for the holidays. Buy it now (for the same price as a regular bottle, $18.49) and feel good about your purchase. Not only is it cool — the “flocking” on the bottle gives it a chic, wintry feel — it benefits amfAR (The American Foundation for AIDS Research, which recently honored Ricky Martin). At Mega Discount Liquors, Jensen’s Liquors.

Shop

Celeb makeup artist Mally Roncal, who has done up Jennifer Lopez, Rihanna and Angelina Jolie, knows what a girl wants: makeup and lots of it. Gift idea: her snazzy kits in animal-print boxes packed with red-carpet primers like glosses, eye liners and shadows. Kick off the work week with 25 percent off all Mally’s face products (code: 25FACE) at www.mallybeauty.com/cyber-monday.

Try

Holidays often mean airport travel and malls. To keep track of the little ones, one solution is a Safe-2-Go child-friendly harness in disguise, created by Nancy Ginakes, sister of Nia Vardalos. Star moms and dads like Nancy O’Dell and Colin Hanks appreciate how these animal-figure backpacks double as toys. Tots love these colorful plushies for obvious reasons. There’s even a NASCAR-licensed Jeff Gordon car. At www.babysherpa.com
