Beauty and the Beast Tote by Ollie Hank
This bag is très adorable! I can imagine filling it with fresh baguettes that I pick up while I stroll through my small provincial town…called Los Angeles. The delightful tote is the perfect size for holding all your favorite books about far off places, daring swordfights, magic spells, or princes in disguise.
Beauty and the Beast Wrap Bracelet by Love and Madness
The beginning of fairy tales is where the magic begins. This collector’s edition wrap bracelet has the entirety of the opening of Beauty and the Beast, and is an impressive 94-inches long, letting you wrap it a dozen times around your wrist. This jewelry piece is a perfect addition to your outfit whether you’re dressing for an elegant princess ball or everyday Disneybounding.
Le Creuset Beauty and the Beast Soup Pot from Williams-Sonoma
Le Creuset has always been my go-to for cookware. Itâs well worth the price for its durability and ease of cleaning. Created in honor of Disneyâs Beauty and the Beast, this limited-edition soup pot is decorated with the iconic red rose and engraved with the words âBe Our Guest.â Itâs a must for making beef ragout, cheese souffle, and probably ideal serveware for the grey stuff, which I hear is delicious.
Beauty and Beast Cake by Missy Schwabe
This beautiful three-layer cake is inspired by the classic colors of the movie. The bottom layer represents the Beast’s dress attire, with his elegant blue jacket, ruffled shirt and all. The second tier obviously showcases Belle’s memorable yellow ball gown. And most impressive is the last layer, a glass dome encasing an edible enchanted rose right on top. With this awesome video tutorial you can follow the steps to make one of these delicious masterpieces for the Beauty and the Beast fan in your life.
Beauty and the Beast Socks by Stance via Disney Style
The best way to modestly show off your fandom is with a fantastic pair of socks. These Beauty and the Beast-inspired styles come in Rose, Classic Rose, and a light and airy Belle of the Ball. The La Fille Est Belle design is modeled after Belle’s daywear that she wears for feeding the chickens and singing on mountain tops. The comfy socks even come in a classically French fleur de lis style whose pattern is appropriately named, âHandsome Beast.â
