Cool Gift of the Day

What it is:
A delicious room scenting spray that smells just like Ben & Jerry's ice cream.
Why we love it:
We're not sure if this cool gift is the best thing you could give someone on a diet, or the worst. I mean, on the one hand it might be nice to get a calorie free whiff of delicious Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream (Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough is our favorite option), but on the other hand it could inspire the dieter to new heights of B&J cravings. We've gotten tired of all those room scents like "Ocean Breeze" or "Country Garden," if we'd wanted to smell the beach or a garden, we'd have gone to the beach, or a garden. Until such time as Greyhound starts running busses to the Big Rock Candy Mountain, however, we may have to depend on Ben & Jerry's for the sensation of having walked into an enormous waffle cone. In further wickedness, our favorite hippy ice cream makers also create candles and lip balms in their delicious flavors (talk about a lip balm you're guaranteed to lick off), your dieting friend could be positively surrounded by olfactory teases of all kinds, which might make them praise you, or might make them stick you head first into a vat of ice cream.
