A great gift idea is something that says luxury and relaxation. So I have created something called Spa In A Stocking and I think that if someone gifted this to me I would be over the moon! I think putting items together that set the stage for some down time in life is such a great gift! Especially after the crazy holiday season-down time is a must.
You can tailor the stocking for any budget and the items can be general or very specific-it just depends who you are giving it to. I selected a mixture of products that would be perfect for any gal in your life. Everyone wants to feel pampered right?! Here's what's in my stocking:
Origins Peace of Mind
If you haven't tired this product it is a dream come true. It's sensory therapy- which means it works both topically and through aromatherapy. You rub a small amount into your temples and behind your ears and let all your stress melt away!
Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream
This is one on my Christmas wishlist and I have heard amazing things about this multi purpose cream. You can use it on your lips, dry skin, cuticles, etc. I can't think of anyone who wouldn't want to carry this around with them-especially this time of year.
LUSH
Nothing says relax a minute like LUSH. There are so many yummy choices, but grabbing something for the bath would be a great selection. I think a bubble bar or bath bomb would make the perfect spa stocking gift. Plus it will make the stocking smell heavenly when opening.
Body Shop Body Butter
I love the body butter from the Body Shop-there is a scent for everyone. They have so many different options you can really get specific for the person you are shopping for or some safe like the Coconut or Brazil Nut scents. These are so luxurious and are perfect for this time of year to keep the skin super hydrated.
EOS Lip Balm
These are little pots of heaven and they are perfect for the Spa In A Stocking gift. Keeping soft kissable lips is ideal for this time of year and a mint EOS lip balm is the way to go!
Aromatherapy Candle
I am obessesd with the Bath & Body Works Aromatherapy candles. They have so many amazing options-like the Stress Relief candle. I love this one on my bath tub ledge or when I am reading a book. It really makes all your cares go away leaving you feeling relaxed and stress free.
Luxurious Face Mask
There are so many amazing face masks out there right now and some of them can be found at your local drugstore. You can bet whoever you buy this for will really appreciate it! Putting on a luxurious face mask while sipping a tea and relaxing with an aromatherapy candle sounds pretty good doesn't it!
Essie Apricot Cuticle Oil
This is the best cuticle oil in my opinion and it is the perfect add on to this spa in a stocking. Keeping soft and hydrated from head to toe is always a bigger challenge in the winter months and your cuticles are no exception. It's in the small thoughtful details that make this stocking a real treat.
Remember to be creative and set up scenes that would allow whoever you are gifting the chance to use these products together to create a relaxed luxurious environment. You could also add in some hot cocoa packs or a yummy tea. Maybe a favorite magazine. Like I said you could use this as a secret Santa gift for the office party or someone really special like a friend, mother, sister,etc and it can be tailored for any budget you just have to put your thinking cap on!
