Create a Luxury Bath Gift Basket for Busy Moms

Aromatherapists know that lavender is one of the most soothing scents. And many busy Moms know that taking a long, hot bath is the ultimate in stress relief from their busy lives. Give the gift of peaceful luxury by presenting your favorite busy mom with a handmade lavender bath gift set.

Materials Needed for the Luxury Gift Basket

1) Attractive basket

2) Filler material for the basket

3) Wide purple ribbon

4) Several sprigs of lavender for decoration

5) One glass bottle

6) Two glass jars

7) Various ingredients listed below

Preparing the Basket Itself

The basket should be large enough to hold all of the items you will include. You can also include fuzzy slippers, wash cloths, a loofah or sponge, or lavender scented candles. Fill the basket part way with the filler material, such as shredded tissue paper or raffia.

Use the purple ribbon to tie around the handle in a spiral pattern. Then, tie a large bow in the front of the basket. Tuck the sprigs of lavender in the bow.

Include a Lavender Bath Sachet

Include a couple of soothing lavender bath sachets in the luxury gift basket. Your busy Mom will appreciate its skin soothing properties and relaxing lavender scent.

To make the lavender sachet, combine oatmeal, powdered milk, and lavender flowers in a bowl. Spoon a tablespoon of this mixture onto a six-inch square of cheesecloth and gather it together. Tie it closed tightly with a pretty purple ribbon.

Include a Bottle of Lavender Bubble Bath

Lavender scented bubble bath is a great addition to this busy Moms gift basket. Start with a cup of all-natural liquid dish soap or glycerin soap. These have no fragrance or colors and are great for skin.

Add ten drops of lavender essential oil, 2 drops of purple food coloring, 2 tablespoons of almond oil if desired, and shake in a covered jar until blended. Pour this mixture into an attractive bottle.

Include a Jar of Lavender Skin Cream
