A ‘spa experience’ gift for every budget

Gifting season can be expensive, and while the idea of creating a ‘gift experience’ may sound even more out of reach, there’s no need to panic! You don’t need to break the bank to create a thoughtful and memorable gift for someone.

If you know somebody who could use a little more me-time (think: expectant mums, busy parents, workaholics or those who are working on building up a mindfulness habit) a ‘spa experience’ gift could be just the ticket. Whether you can only spare £10-£20 on somebody or are in the market for something a bit more expensive, here are three ways to pull together a luxury at-home spa-day gift to help your recipient beat those January blues.

£10-£20

On a budget? No problem! You can still put together a perfect pamper package for that special someone and make it look lovely, too!

Why not treat them to a face mask, something like the Forever Marine Mask, and pair it with a tealight holder? Tealights are inexpensive, but dotted around the bathroom during a hot bubble bath can completely change the ambience of the room and make it a truly relaxing pamper session. Try one which will suit the recipient’s décor, or maybe try one which is shaped like a stone or pebble, reminiscent of a luxury spa?

Finish the gift off with a washcloth (perfect for removing that face mask!) – and use it to replicate the Japanese art of Furoshiki (wrapping gifts in cloth). By wrapping the gift up in the washcloth instead of wrapping paper you’re making an eco-friendly choice and giving your gift a unique and memorable look! Finish it off with some Forever Christmas Ribbon and you’ve created a budget friendly spa experience for one!

£20-£50

If you’ve a little more money to play with, why not give your recipient the gift of aromatherapy in their spa experience?

Start with a face mask, which of course are always perfect for relaxing and soothing the face – perhaps the Sonya Soothing Gel Mask. Then treat them to an essential oil diffuser – you can get these to suit your recipient’s home décor or personal tastes, and at a budget to suit you. Finally, add a Forever Essential Oil to the gift – choose a scent you know they’ll love, or opt for the one that will promote calm and relaxation – Forever Essential Oils Lavender.

Pop it all in a box lined with Forever Tissue Paper and wrapped in Forever Wrapping Paper and your recipient is sure to be impressed!

£50+

If you’re pulling out all the stops, here’s how you can make a spa experience your recipient will never forget!

An essential oil diffuser will instantly transform your recipient’s bathroom or bedroom into a luxury spa space, especially if you include all of the Forever Essential Oils – Lavender to relax, Peppermint to refresh, Lemon to invigorate and Defense to energise – so that they can choose their scent based on what they want out of their spa session.

For a real luxury treat, add a box of our award-winning Aloe Bio-Cellulose Masks to deeply moisturise skin and create a complexion that glows!

Finally, a white, waffle-textured dressing gown is reminiscent of being at the spa and really completes the feel of a good pamper session – finish off the look with a pair of white spa slippers. You could even throw in a bottle of champagne for the ultimate luxury spa-night!
