Hand Lotion: Keep Her Hands Soft and Supple

Start your spa gift basket journey with a luxurious hand lotion. Because who doesn’t want silky-smooth hands to show the world? The constant washing, sanitizing, and dishwashing of hands can leave them dry and rough. A nourishing hand lotion infused with moisturizing ingredients like shea butter and vitamin E will keep her hands soft, smooth, and pampered. My husband and I use Cetaphil to keep our hands hydrated and soft while conquering our day.

Sleep Spray: Drift Off into Dreamland

Encourage relaxation and restful sleep with a calming sleep spray. Include a bottle of sleep spray infused with calming scents like lavender or chamomile to help her drift off into a blissful slumber. Sleep spray is the ultimate bedtime accessory for those nights when your mind decides it’s the perfect time to solve all of life’s mysteries—except the mystery of why you’re still awake at 3 a.m. Help her relax and get some crucial beauty sleep.

Silk Pillowcase: Gift Her Sweet Dreams and Smooth Hair

Silk pillowcases: where dreams of flawless hair and wrinkle-free skin come true – or at least until the morning alarm rudely interrupts. A silk pillowcase is a must-have addition to any spa day gift basket. Not only does it make for a luxurious and comfortable sleep experience, but it also helps reduce friction on her hair and skin. It will leave her feeling like a bona fide sleeping beauty when she wakes up instead of the bedhead look that rivals Einstein’s.

Candle: Set the Mood for Relaxation

Create a serene ambiance with a scented candle in her favorite fragrance. Whether she prefers floral, citrus, or earthy scents, a softly flickering candle will set the mood for relaxation and tranquility as she unwinds and de-stresses.

Face Masks: Radiant Skin in Minutes

Treat her to a spa-worthy facial treatment with indulgent face masks. Encourage her to take some time for self-care and enjoy radiant, glowing skin in just a few minutes. Facemasks are skincare superheroes; no spa day gift basket is complete without them. Include a variety of masks to cater to her skin’s needs, whether it’s hydration, brightening, or a good old-fashioned detox.

Scented Shower Steamers: Turn Her Shower Into a Spa

Transform her daily shower routine into a spa-like experience with scented shower steamers. Place one in the corner of the shower, and as it dissolves, it releases a fragrant aroma that fills the bathroom with relaxation-inducing scents. It is a perfect addition to any spa gift basket. Plus, they’re a fun alternative to traditional bath bombs for those who prefer a quick shower over a long soak.

Bath Bombs: Fizz and Relaxation

Add a touch of luxury to her bath time with fizzing bath bombs. Packed with skin-nourishing ingredients and delightful fragrances, bath bombs turn an ordinary soak into a relaxing experience. Let her indulge in a blissful bath and emerge feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

Under-eye Patches: Banish Dark Circles and Puffiness

Help her achieve brighter, more refreshed eyes with soothing eye patches. Infused with ingredients like cucumber extract, caffeine, and hyaluronic acid, eye masks hydrate the delicate under-eye area, reducing the appearance of dark circles and puffiness. They are a must-have for tired eyes in need of a pick-me-up. I personally like the gold ones or green tea under-eye patches.

Body Oil: Nourish and Hydrate from Head to Toe

Include a bottle of luxurious body oil in her spa day gift basket for a touch of indulgence. Not only does it hydrate her skin, but it also adds a hint of shimmer for that goddess-like glow. Plus, who doesn’t love a little extra sparkle?

Lip Balm: Keep Her Pout Perfectly Plump

Remember to include a lip balm to keep her pout perfectly plump and moisturized. Many women might be lip balm hoarders if they have a tube stashed in every coat pocket, desk drawer, and secret compartment of their purse—because you never know when a lip emergency might strike. Choose a fun flavor or opt for one with SPF to add to her collection—because nobody wants dry, sunburned lips ruining their day! Also, some sets include a lip mask to exfoliate and a lip balm.

Silky Shower Cap: Protect Her Tresses in Style

Shower caps are the go-to fix when you’re ready to wash your body but not your hair—because, honestly, who has the time or energy for an entire wash-and-style routine every day? Keep her locks looking lovely with a silky interior shower cap. These also protect her hair from water, humidity, and breakage.

Wet Brush: Tame Tangles with Ease

Combs are out, and Wet brushes are in. This was news to me. Wet brushes are designed to detangle hair better without damage. It has flexible bristles that glide through wet hair effortlessly, making post-shower detangling a breeze. It is designed to reduce damage because hair is most fragile when wet. Trust us, her hair will thank you!

Also, some hair oil and leave-in-spray conditioner should be considered to help strengthen her hair even more. I like Opalex #7 for hair oil. Other hair oils I tried made my hair ends look greasy for the day.

Body Scrub: Scrub Away Stress and Dry Skin

Include a jar of indulgent body scrub to help her scrub away stress and dry skin. Choose one with a beautiful scent, like Moroccan Rose, Vitamin C, or Brown sugar with coconut butter, for an extra relaxing experience. Help her feel as rejuvenated as a freshly bloomed flower. Plus, you feel so clean after an exfoliation.

Epsom Salt: Soothe Sore Muscles and Relax the Mind

Epsom salt is a spa day essential, thanks to its ability to soothe sore muscles and relax the mind. Include a bag of this magical mineral in her gift basket to ensure she enjoys the ultimate spa experience from the comfort of her own home. Only include this if she takes baths. I like the rose scented. If you’re not sure, then get the unscented Epsom salt.

Hair Towel: Because Drying Off Should Be Luxurious

Upgrade her post-shower routine with a plush microfiber hair towel. Not only does it speed up drying time, but it also feels incredibly luxurious against her skin. Plus, it helps reduce frizz and breakage – talk about a win-win! 

Body Lotion: Lock in Moisture and Softness

Finish off her spa day with a generous dollop of body lotion to lock in moisture and softness. Choose one with indulgent ingredients like shea butter or coconut oil for an extra pampering experience. She’ll be left feeling like a goddess from head to toe!

Silicone Body Scrubber

Include a silicone body scrubber in her gift basket for some serious scrub-a-dub-dub action. Not only does it exfoliate and cleanse her skin, but it’s also super hygienic and easy to clean. It makes for a newer substitute to the usual loofah shower companion!

Dry Brush: Buff Away Stress, Reveal Radiance

Let’s delve into the transformative benefits of dry brushing, a ritual that extends beyond mere exfoliation to rejuvenate both body and mind. By gently massaging the skin with a natural bristle brush, dry brushing removes dead skin cells, stimulates circulation, and promotes lymphatic drainage, unveiling a smoother, more radiant complexion. Beyond its skincare benefits, dry brushing can alleviate stress and tension, invigorating the senses and boosting energy levels. Just be sure to include some instructions – we wouldn’t want her mistaking it for a back scratcher!

Pumice Stone: Smooth Away Rough Spots and Calluses

Remember to include a pumice stone to help her smooth away rough spots and calluses. After all, nothing ruins a good spa day like rough, sandpapery feet! They even have full-on foot peels available. I was told that callouses will decrease if you slowly file or scrub just a little at a time. If you file too much, it will make callouses worse, so use them wisely. Also, consider a foot treatment in plastic socks or pedicure essentials.

Essential Oils: Calming to Energetic Gift for Her

Lastly, let’s talk about essential oils – the aromatic gems that add bliss to her spa day experience. Whether she’s seeking relaxation, rejuvenation, or a burst of energy, essential oils have got her covered. With scents ranging from calming lavender to invigorating citrus, there’s an oil for every mood and occasion. Encourage her to use a diffuser to fill her space with soothing aromas, creating a serene ambiance that enhances her relaxation journey.

Alternatively, she can incorporate them into her skincare routine by mixing a few drops with carrier oils like jojoba or almond oil for a luxurious massage or adding them to her bathwater for a fragrant soak. Whatever her preference, essential oils are sure to elevate her spa day to new heights of tranquility and indulgence. Click here for Doterra essential oils.
