A few years ago, my husband surprised me with a wonderful birthday present: a full day at a wonderful, luxurious spa! I was so happy to have a day of relaxation all to myself. I got a facial, full body massage, manicure, pedicure and paraffin wax treatments on my hands and feet. A day at the spa makes a great gift for your favorite lady’s birthday, Christmas or Mother’s Day.
If you can’t splurge for a day at the spa, spa gift baskets are great, less expensive alternatives. You can give all the luxury and decadence of a spa visit with premium lip balm, soap, lotion, shower gel, body spray and more. You can even put together a personalized basket by specifying the person’s favorite colors and scents. Every woman needs to take a little time out for herself once in a while. As an added gift, take the kids out for a day and let her have some alone time to get herself home spa treatments with products from her spa gift basket.
If you’re looking to purchase a gift for somebody, it’s very likely that you’ve given some though to a gift basket. Gift baskets, after all, are always a big hit. The only complaint that some people have is that some of the items are personalized and some are not. But this is understandable when someone else throws together a collection of products for a themed gift basket. If you want to give a spa gift basket, for example, there is sure to be one or two items that catch your eye for the recipient, but then everything else is just kind of filler.
That’s why a personalized gift basket is such a better option. This way, every item is sure to be hand picked for the recipient, but you don’t have to worry about putting them all together in an aesthetically pleasing way. Rather, you just select the collection of products based on the person’s preferences, and it will arrive fully packaged and beautifully wrapped.
Lavender is a flower belonging to the mint family and is characterized by its beautiful purple flowers, as well as a fresh, relaxing scent. The plant has a variety of uses, and is widely grown in gardens. Lavender is often dried and used in flower arrangements, as well as perfumes and potpourri. It has also been grown for commercial use, mainly for the extraction of lavender oil, which is used in lavender bath gift baskets and for aromatherapy.
Lavender nectar is a favorite of honey bees, who produce a lavender honey, and amongst other sweets, there is a lavender sugar which is sugar combined with the lavender herb. The plant is also often used in fine cuisine to provide a semi-sweet, elegant flavor.
