With only a few short days left until Santa slides down all of those chimneys you might have remembered the big gift but forgotten those stocking stuffers. Small tokens of affection that can be a combination of sweet treats and really special sparklers are fun surprises after all of that unwrapping. Over at White's Pharmacy on Main Street in East Hampton you'll find plenty of interesting little items to stuff any stocking. We had luxury on our minds when we recently went stuffer shopping - perfumes and colognes are great items for any stocking. Here are a few of our favorites for her and for him.

Inspired by her love of layering unexpected fragrances, Sarah Jessica Parker blends a scent of pure innocence with the exotic nature of precious oil and the sophistication of a fine perfume in Lovely. Lavender, orchid and amber mingle with apple martini, paper whites and musk. The result, Sarah Jessica Parker's casual glamour fashioned into a fragrance. A new classic!

Long Island florist Antonia Bellanca created a collection of light, fresh floral fragrances that evoke the experience of entering her East Hampton flower store on a spring morning. Antonia's Flowers East Hampton was the first fragrance to utilize 'living flower' technology, to bring the actual scent of freesia from nature to skin. You'll love the light freesia scent that is a breath of spring during the cold winter months to come.

If she's into yoga and being generally centered gift her with Zen by Shiseido. This original version of Zen was introduced by Shiseido in 1964, not be confused with the newer version introduced in 2000. A fresh modern floral fragrance, the classic Zen opens with a crisp citrus note of bergamot woven into a green tapestry of hyacinth and galbanum. The green theme continues through the heart of the scent as fragrant white jasmine blends with violet and rose. You'll also notice a soft powdery trail of sandalwood, amber, and oakmoss. Presented in black, Zen is a classic, feminine floral fragrance designed to enhance your inner peace.

Not sure what she might like? Maybe she likes to layer scents and mix it up. Give her a touch of elegance with five of her favorite fragrances on a beautiful porcelain tray. A wonderful gift she'll treasure for years. This lovely limited-time collection from Estée Lauder includes an exclusive tray plus these Eau de Parfums, all in an exclusive gift box: Pure White Linen, Estée Lauder Beyond Paradise, Estée Lauder Pleasures, Youth-Dew, and Beautiful.

What about the man in your life? If he's a sporty classic he'll flip for Polo Double Black. Intensely edgy, Polo Double Black is a sexy and exotic blend of spiced mango, addictive coffee, and sensual nutmeg intensified with the mysterious warmth of cardamom. It's a dark, woody experience that pulsates with a purely masculine sophistication.

If he's more elegant than sporty try Eau Sauvage by Dior. Lucid and willful, Eau Sauvage is the perfume of the cult of elegance, refinement, and good humor. With the zest of citrus fruits for freshness, an invigorating bouquet of herbs, a hint of jasmine and vetiver for the sensual touch, and oakmoss to conquer and seduce, it will remain a fresh, discreet classic. It is the all-time classic a subtle statement for men of style.

For the nature lover gift him with Lauder Intuition for Men. This magnetic fragrance has a dynamic, masculine clarity blended with a modern sense of nature. It's ultra sensual - clear, woodsy, more vibrant than a traditional cologne. You'll find it warm, natural and sexy. Somewhat Oriental in nature the scent is a blend of crisp cucumber, nutmeg, cedarwood, and amber.

Clinique Happy for Men is simply fun. A refreshing scent that possesses a blend of citrus - lemons, mandarin, orange, and grapefruit. It's cool and crisp and happy.

Exclusively at White's Pharmacy you'll find Annick Goutal fragrances for both men and women. There are so many to choose from it's impossible not to find a scent that reminds you of that first kiss, a day at the beach, or a walk through the woods after a spring rain. The Petite Cherie Perfume for her is a soft blend of vanilla, peach, and rose. And the Mandragore Eau de Toilette is a sensual mysterious blend of mandrake, black pepper, ginger, and licorice for him.

Be bold and have fun with fragrance this holiday season. Stock up on old favorites or try something new to spice it up a bit. Either way, find something that delights and inspires. Happy shopping!
