Gift Basket Ideas for the Holidays

Quality skincare that works is the ultimate beauty gift that keeps on giving. You purchase that perfect facial serum for your friend, her skin starts to look radiant from consistent use, Prince Harry asks her out, and in a few days you get invited to a royal cruise where you get to be friends with Princess Kate and get a stash of her luxurious skincare products. It’s simple math, really.

We at YEOUTH are big believers in giving your loved ones nice, pampering things (especially skincare products!) on special occasions, because, while almost all people can buy a lovely hand cream or a nice-smelling soap, most women feel guilty about splurging on themselves. Also, like chocolate bars and candles, skincare products are meant to be used, so you don’t have to worry about giving your friend or family the burden of having something she doesn’t really need.

One of the ways you can have a little fun this holiday is by creating your very own DIY gift basket. Making themed presents and customizing them is an awesome and thoughtful way to add a personal touch to your gifts. Here are some ways to do it.

1. Bubbly Bubble Bath – the ultimate bath collection

Top products to include: bath salts, aromatherapy bubble bath, natural bar soaps and organic coconut oil, which can be used post bath as a rich body oil. Throw in a aromatherapy candle and a loofah, and you're all set!

Lush Bath Bombs
The Body Shop Mega Wild Argan Oil Shower Gel
Desert Essence Organic Jojoba Oil
Deep Steep Bubble Bath, Lavender & Chamomile

2. A Winter's Worth of Moisturized Legs

Shaving your legs during the winter requires a careful cost-benefit analysis. Are smooth legs worth the inevitable dryness? Fill your friend's stocking with plenty of shea butter and assure her that with moisture like this, she can shave without fear.

3. An Essential Oil Starter Kit

Create a starter kit for the family or friend who doesn't know her jojoba oil from her argan oil but still dreams of relaxing in a room that smells like heaven. Help her get her feet wet in the ocean of natural beauty by showing her how some simple ingredients can make a huge difference.

One bar of soap is a thanks-for-having-me-for-dinner gift, but multiple bars of soap says "I recognize that you take multiple showers over the course of a year and I want to salute that truth." If you're feeling generous, throw in a gift certificate to a particularly sweaty workout routine, so that she has an excuse to lather up afterward.
