Mother’s Day Spa Basket

Mother’s Day is just around the corner. I love Mother’s Day because my kids and husband love to spoil me! My favorite gifts are always things that are homemade. And if the gift is designed to pamper me? All the better! This lovely collection meets both of those criteria. Plus, once you know how to make the bath salts and soap, you can make them anytime at all. You could even make them for yourself! Shhhh . . . don’t tell!

This is a fun gift to make, especially with friends or for friends and family. All the bath recipes in this basket are surprisingly very easy to make and so rewarding to give! This basket would also be a lovely and much-appreciated way to say thank you to bridesmaids, wedding shower and baby shower guests (“from my shower to yours”), or as a hostess gift to express your appreciation for an enjoyable overnight stay. You can personalize the bath products with your own choice of fragrances and herbal additions, and dress up the package with ribbon and with your custom labels. We’ve also provided you with links to help you find just the right containers. Add a loofah and some fluffy towels and everyone will be feeling great. Happy bathing!
