Put Together a Spa Gift Basket

If you are having trouble picking just one type of gift to make this holiday season, why 
not put together a gift basket? For someone who needs a little pampering, a spa gift 
basket is perfect. You can also incorporate essential oils into this type of basket.

Decide on the Theme for the Basket

While making a spa gift basket on its own is a theme, there are many other directions 
you can take here. If it is a holiday gift, you might want to have all Christmas or winter-
themed items, like peppermint salt scrubs and vanilla spiced candles. You can go the 
traditional direction with basic spa and pampering items like bath salts and bath bombs, 
or include more items for beauty like face masks and body scrubs. There are so many 
ways to incorporate your own personal touch with a spa gift basket.

Include Your Essential Oils

If you are making a spa gift basket, you probably want aromatherapy to be a major 
component. For aromatherapy, you should have pure essential oils that the recipient 
can use for various purposes, and really benefit from them on an emotional and 
physical level. There are many options here, from selecting just a couple popular scents 
like vanilla and lavender, going with more seasonal scents like nutmeg, cinnamon, and 
fir, or choosing blends that encompass both.

Add in the Other Items

There are plenty of other items you can include in a spa-themed gift basket for the 
holidays. This will depend on the overall theme, such as if you are going with traditional 
scents or the seasonal scents. To start with, you might want to add in some carrier oils if 
you are using essential oils in the basket, such as coconut oil or jojoba oil. The next 
thing you can do is decide how they will use these oils. If it is for a luxurious bath, 
include some bath items like a bath billow, bath salts, sponge or loofah, and some 
different types of soap or body wash.

You can then include additional items that will help them pamper themselves during a 
bath, like a CD with light, relaxing music, a few candles, and some bubble bath. For a 
larger spa gift basket, consider getting a small essential oil diffuser they can use in the 
bathroom on the counter while taking their bath. This is a great use of the oils that 
doesn’t require any carrier oils.
