I love these gift ideas - am thinking about getting my Mom the Pampering Gift Box. It looks really luxurious and she loves her soaps and lotions.
I can actually recommend the Herbal Bath Bags too. Have tried them before and they are great. Just a note: don’t open the actual bag!! You are meant to put the whole thing into the hot bath, like a tea bag. If you open it, it will stain your whole bath tub and you will be spending the evening cleaning instead of relaxing. Trust me - I know what I’m talking about
