This isn’t breaking news. I’m not doing a holiday gift guide this year! There are so many reasons for this which I won’t get into here but basically, my budget this year won’t allow for me to be dropping big dollars $$$ on gifts (not that I don’t want to). I’ve recently been doing some volunteer social media/marketing work with my church and the Parish Administrator there recently had a birthday. Instead of getting her a gift card or candy, I decided to put together items that she could use for a ‘cozy’ night in. It is absolutely frigid here in Ontario and I thought she may enjoy and use these! I had a lot of fun wrapping each item and giving a little explanation of why I included the item. I put it all in a tote bag and voila, the Holiday Gifting-Cozy gift tote was born!
A cozy spa robe is one of the cornerstones of a cozy evening. One of the best feelings ever is to come in from a cold night, draw a bath, and then slip into a robe. This one is a GREAT price.
Prior to slipping into the robe, a hot bath is absolutely wonderful. I love a good bath bomb, but in the colder months, I like something that is more moisturizing, such as the LiveClean Spa Therapy Moisturizing Foam Bath.
Next up? A hydrating body butter to lock in all the moisture from the bath. This particular body butter contains aloe, shea butter, and beeswax.
Because sitting in the bath can be boring, I also included a great book. For this particular person, I chose a more appropriately themed book, but to be honest, if anyone is questioning the existence of God, this is worth a read.
Not into ‘deep’ books that are factually based? How about a word search?
After taking a hot bath, and moisturizing, slip into these fuzzy socks. These will lock that butter right into place. These are fuzzy AND cute.
A cozy night isn’t complete without some hot tea and a cheeky mug. Check out my picks for both.
Tea-I love love LOVE hot tea on a cold day. If I’m feeling extra sassy, I may add some spirits. For the purposes of this post, I’ll keep it herbal.
I can’t forget about the tote-tote bags are great because they are multi-purpose. I really don’t know anyone who can’t use (or regift) a tote bag.
And there you have it….my cozy gift tote. I had a lot of fun putting this together and even more fun wrapping everything individually. This certainly beats a giftcard! How do you make gifts more ‘personal’?
