Bath Gift Basket

Looking for holiday gift ideas? Try a bath gift basket!

A bath gift basket is one that keeps on giving, long after the holidays are over. With careful thought, you can design a bath gift basket pleasing to both men and women. Here's how to spread a little joy, on a shoestring.

Everyone is stressed out, to some degree. Just put yourself in your friend's shoes and think about what anti-stress measures you might yourself enjoy. Aah! Doesn't a hot, relaxing bath come to mind? At the end of the work day, you're burned out. You need to kick back and get a little uninterrupted time for yourself, right? Well, you're not alone. All of your friends are in the same boat.

A bath gift basket can make all the difference between a grouchy, stressed out person and a laid back, jovial personality. Why shouldn't you be the one to effect such a change?

When you assemble the contents, think luxury. Include several pouches of herbal bath additives. A pouch of lavender, set under the running bath water, makes a soothing, relaxing, stress-relieving mixture. A lavender eye pillow quickly relieves a headache.

A lightly scented bubble bath, or bath beads, provide relaxation, as well as skin-softening agents that make the bather feel coddled in the lap of luxury.

Any bath gift basket worth its salt should include beeswax candles. The scent is subtle and fragrant, contributing to a well relaxed sense of being. Candles burning in the bathroom are both soothing and romantic.

Now, what's missing? Something to drink, while lying in this hot bath, while covered in soothing herbs and fragrant candles. Tailor your beverages to your friend's taste. Slip in an exotic variety of coffee, tea, wine or a fine brandy. Such an addition completes your bath gift basket. Think about it. Wouldn't you love to be immersed in a divinely warm bath of lavender, surrounded by fragrant candles, sipping a cup of your favorite beverage?

An assortment of fine soaps never hurts. Scented, glycerine, lavender or oatmeal soaps serve a variety of purposes. Suit your choices to your recipient. These are all sure winners in your bath gift basket lineup.

When you assemble a bath gift basket, think luxury and relaxation. The ingredients are simple and inexpensive, but oh so inviting and memorable! You're giving a gift of love and caring. Your giftee will be enchanted!
