In that sense, you can gift them to yourself as a trial bundle.

Each bundle comes with 3 pocket perfumes that are the best sellers of the brand. Here are some examples of what we currently have but remember we are adding more each week. Hurry up and get yours because these are limited edition and we have free shipping in the U.S.
