You almost certainly are acquainted with a few overburdened women. They put in a jam-packed day at work to help make ends meet, and then they arrive home to get supper on the table, clean up and spend some time with the kids. You can't help but respect their commitment and hard work. A pleasant surprise for this woman would be a spa gift basket to give her an opportunity to unwind and indulge. Consider these suggestions to create a personal gift to show your admiration.
Start by searching for an elegant basket. You might want to check out craft stores, discount stores or even a second hand store for just the right basket. Make sure it's large enough to hold everything that you plan to include. You might even want to paint the basket to match your color scheme.
Now it's time to pick out the items for your special spa basket. Remember that the main purpose of this gift is to encourage the recipient to relax, so think of things that will transform her bathroom into a sumptuous home spa.
Start with towels: a soft, fluffy bath towel with matching wash cloth and hand towel. Roll up the towels individually and secure each of them with a pretty bow. Now find an aromatic candle in a coordinating color. Place this in the center of the basket, and position the towels around it.
Now you can fill in the basket with bath items. There's a huge variety of options to choose from, including scented soaps, foaming wash, cleansing gel and bath oils. Stick with a specific fragrance and style. Another nice addition is a loofah or bath mitt to smooth away dry skin. Arrange your selection of products in the basket, keeping in mind to visually balance the items. Instead of purchasing individual items, another option is to open up a packaged set of coordinating bath products and rearrange them in your basket.
To enhance the relaxation experience, tuck in a novel and a CD of soft music. Music is sure to help that special woman unwind, and a bestselling page-turner will distract her from her to-do list.
The spa experience doesn't have to end when the tub is drained. Add a bottle of body lotion for the icing on the cake. If you're going all out, add some creams and lotions targeted to specific body parts, such as feet, hands, or elbows.
An extra special touch would be to tuck in a gift certificate to a nearby spa. And best of all, include a written note offering to look after the kids for an evening so she can be worry-free as she enjoys her candle-lit home spa or uses her gift certificate for a relaxing treatment at the day spa.
Your spa gift basket will be a thoughtful, meaningful gift for the hardworking woman in your life. It will rejuvenate her, relieve the day's stress, and make her all set to head out the door again tomorrow.
