Stand-up comic Demitri Martin said: “I like fruit baskets because it gives you the ability to mail someone a piece of fruit without appearing insane. Like, if someone just mailed you an apple you’d be like ‘Huh? What the hell is this?’, but if it’s in a fruit basket you’re like ‘This is nice!.’”

I guess the same goes for any gift but if you’re a woman, you’d probably much rather receive a nice bath gift basket than a fruit basket. Bath gift baskets are also the ideal gifts for the other girls in your life - your mom, sister, or best friend. Women love to relax in the tub after a long day at work, with relaxing scents filling the candle-lit bathroom. Bath gift baskets are appropriately called pamper gifts because of the numerous products that can be used to create a most luxurious environment. But before you head to the beauty and bath shop, there are some things that you should consider first.

Just Frills or Fulfilling Fillers?

What’s inside the basket is always important and you have to carefully select the items you want to include in the basket. If you know that your mom or your friend has a favorite scent like lavender or peppermint, then you could work with that theme. From there, you can include an assortment of bath items like bottles of shampoo and conditioner, bubble bath, face and body scrubs, lotions, bath salts, and aromatherapy oils just to name a few.

Enticing Extras

There’s already a wide array of items that promise a calming and soothing experience, but you could always throw in some extras which will make bath time perfect. Some candles could really help in setting the right mood for a bath, and relaxing in a fluffy terry cloth robe after would be even better. There’s nothing wrong with giving the just essentials, but including some extras in the bath gift basket can make this present even more valuable.

Perfect Presentation

No matter how many bath items you have in a basket, it would all go to waste if you can’t present the perfect package. You would, of course, want to receive a gift that’s wrapped nicely so you should do the same if you plan to give your best friend or your sister a bath gift basket. Try to find a basket that doesn’t just have great items but an awesome presentation as well.

Great items in a pretty package, with just the right extras make the perfect bath gift basket, so go with your woman’s instincts and find the best basket for your mom or friend.
