Spa Gift Basket
Unwind and Relax with a Spa Gift Basket
Executive Summary by Larry Flynn and Janet Vogel
Bath and Spa Gift Basket
When considering a specialty gift “just for her” look no further than a lovely spa gift basket. These gift ideas come in all shapes and sizes and can be personalized to her tastes and likes. To create her own personal spa gift, you need to consider her favorite scents. Floral, citrus, berry, vanilla and almond scents are used as they evoke relaxation responses from her senses. The perfect spa begins with natural wax candles to create that “oh so right” environment.
An assortment of subtly scented soaps, bath salts, shower gels and foot soaks are at the center of her spa experience. Compliment with bath sponges, a bath mitt and a gel mask; remember you want to spoil her! Consider a gift that includes her favorite classical music and allow the strains of these sounds to take her to a calm place.
After her spa bath, her gift basket will include creams, butters and lotions to soften and invigorate her skin. A spa towel and a terry cloth bath robe will complete her spa experience. And remember that today’s spa gift baskets are more than just wicker. Elegant wood chests, leather totes and storage boxes or a ceramic basin can be used after her spas for storage or decoration.
Create A Luxurious Spa Gift Basket Using Aromatherapy Gifts
Everyone deserves a little pampering on occasion and what could be a more enjoyable gift than a spa gift basket? In addition to birthdays and holidays, spa gift baskets make great get well, hostess, or bridal shower gifts.
To create a wonderfully personalized gift basket, choose aromatherapy gifts in the recipient’s favorite scent or favorite color. Include products like shower gel, bubble bath, bath salts, bars of soap, body lotion or spray or powder, scented bath oil, a loofah, nylon net scrubber, pumice stone, eye mask, or a body brush. Don’t forget the scented candles as well as more unique aromatherapy gifts like potpourri, sachets, or incense.
Some variation of a wicker basket is the usual container for bath, aromatherapy, or spa gift baskets. Straw, artificial ivy, or purchased shred are nice filler materials. For shorter gift items, simply place some extra filler material beneath them. Instead of a bow or ribbon, place several silk flowers amongst the gift items.You may want to make some bath products to include in a spa gift basket.
Tips:
Refrain from combining food gifts with fragrance items as the scent may seep into the food.
Create a romantic spa gift basket for a couple as a special occasion gift by adding scented massage oil and a bottle of wine or champagne.
For less expensive gifts, shop at your local dollar store. Look for small wicker or wire baskets, artificial flowers, shred, ribbon, and bath products, candles, and other small gift items.
