January is sale time online but some travel cult items are low-priced all year round. Smith’s Lip Balm (shown here in Minted Rose) is available at New York’s best pharmacy, Bigelow in Greenwich Village.
Recommended by our New York editor Karen Moline and highlighted in our e-book The Holiday Goddess Handbag Guide to New York, Bigelow’s is America’s oldest apothecary and also specialises in own-brand essential and fragrance oil. Shipping is available worldwide.
Also available from Bigelow is Marvis toothpaste which comes in a range of exotic flavours. Prince Charles has a favourite London store for his bathroom products and you can buy the lip balm from D.R.Harris.
