Sweet gifts are made of these…
by Penny on May 2, 2008
Girls love toiletries, agree? Especially pretty ones. I guess we don’t mind not having the heart to use them because they are packaged so nicely. All we need is to look at them every now and then. Am I describing you, or is it just insane me?
Here’s a pretty package that I received for my birthday.

This sweet looking gift set is from Bath & Body Works. This is a signature collection hamper in Sweet Pea that comes with a shower gel, body lotion, body splash and a mini scented candle. I’m very curious to know what sweet peas smell like when used as a fragrance in bath products!
This other gift set isn’t as pretty to look at but I still appreciate its contents.
This L’Occitane set contains a bottle of shampoo that blends 3 pure and natural essential oils of angelica, lavender and geranium, a complementing conditioner with the same composition, a mint pine rosemary shower gel, a lavender tea tree geranium body lotion, a sachet of foot cream in shea butter, a sachet of hand cream and a bar of milk soap. Very lavishing on the body, aren’t they?
I have yet to break open any of the products and I’m not sure when I will do so. I could keep nice toiletries in their original boxes for years. That’s how bad a toiletry-hoader I am!

Yes, my name is Kasey and I too am a toiletry addict! I fall for the beautiful packaging every time! Even my 9 year old daughter seems to have inherited my love of beautifully packaged toiletries. I discovered a gorgeous range of toiletries made just for girls and she has completely fallen for it. www.essentialangel.com has some truly divine gift boxes.
Hi Kasey. Thanks for sharing Essential Angel. It really is very prettily packaged! And who would’ve thought organics could be glamourous? =) Now here’s a new brand to keep in mind to ogle at!
