Homemade Gift Idea:

A Spa has BathGift Basket

Giving a Beauty Spa Gift Basket is a great gift for practically everyone, men and women. A gift basket is also an easy item to create from products at ones home as well as favorites of the receiver. Make the gift a little more special by creating it instead of buying the generic gift basket at the local department store.

A Beauty Gift Basket for Women:

Here are some ideas to add to the Women’s Spa Gift Basket

•Bath Salts – Bath salts are easily made with some sea salt and Epsom salt. Add a favorite fragrance or keep them unscented. If the woman has sensitive skin, it would be best to keep them unscented.

•Bath Fizzies – Another fun item to make at home, bath fizzies. These fizzy little things can be tossed in to the bath water or in a small tub to soak one’s feet. They are most relaxing! Plus they can be made in different shapes. Get shapes that remind her of you!

•Body Scrub – This is an essential item during the cold, winter months. It gently exfoliates the skin to remove dead skin cells. Not sure of the best fragrance to get? Buy a simple peach scent or vanilla, two scents that please most women.

•Body Lotion – Another essential skincare item. Body lotion will keep her skin soft and smooth during the cold.

•Manicure Supplies – Manicure items are something we can never have enough of. Just toss in a nail file, nail buffer, or a couple of orange sticks. Even if we have enough nail files to keep in every room of the house, we will always appreciate more!

Arranging everything nicely in simple gift basket is one way to go. One step better is to use a makeup carrier. That way every part of the gift is in itself a present and useable.

A Beauty Gift Basket for Men:

Here are some ideas to add to the Men’s Spa Gift Basket

•Shaving Cream – Shaving cream will provide the closest shave and something that most men use.

•After Shave – Most men prefer an After Shave balm. It is gentler to the skin and will not cause the burning sensation that an alcohol-based after shave will cause.

•Hair and Body Shampoo – A relatively new product on the market for men. It is a one-step process for them in the shower. Instead of having to use multiple products, this one product is formulated to take care of their skin and hair.

•Manicure Supplies – Basic toe nail clippers with a file attach will probably be all that most men use, but one that all men need!

To wrap the men’s spa basket:

Again, a basket or gift bag will work and keep expenses down. But another great thing would be a simple travel bag.
