3 Top Tips To Save You Money On Beautiful Gifts
Find out the most frequently used Personal care Product for the recipient of the gift ?
Some people love things like Body Lotions and use them daily. Others use Body Butters, Body scrubs and other people just use soap. And also try to find out what their favourite fragrance is and their bathroom colour scheme. It will all help to make the Gift that bit more Special.
You want to make sure that your Gift will be used and not just sit around as decoration in the Bathroom or worse be regifted. Of course with lovely products such as Bath Bombs, bath Oils and bath Teas, soaks etc there is no point in giving them to someone who is living in a home with no bath tub(like myself at the moment). Imagine how lovely it would be receive a hand made Soap, Body Lotion and bath Bomb beautifully packaged, wrapped, in your favourite fragrance and colour.
Test everything on Yourself first.
Basically how awful would you feel if you gave someone a gift that brought them out in a rash. Or the fragrance was too strong and you couldn't stop sneezing. Don't give anything away until it's been tested.
As long as you're following a basic recipe there shouldn't be a problem. But after you've made a few items it can be fun to play around with different quantites of ingredients,colours, fragrances etc. Like cooking the more experienced you are the more you can anticipate outcomes after you've replaced one ingredient with another. But Always TEST on Yourself before letting others use the products.
Be Fussy about the Packaging of Your Gifts
How lovely is it to receive something so beautifully wrapped and packaged that you don't want to wreck it by opening it. In fact a very plain item can seem so much better with the right packaging/wrapping. And the opposite applies, it doesn't matter how good the present inside is if it's given in a store bag.
A great packaging without spending too much money is clear cellophane bags. It shows the product in all it's glory, the colour of the item can be coordinated with ribbon, raffia, strings etc. You can get sticky labels, make your own little tags. The possibilites are endless. Check out the internet for packaging wholesalers if you find that you really love making personal care products. You could even design your own label.
It is so satisfying to make and give Hand Made Gifts. If you do it really well you might find that people will Buy other Products from you to replace the Gift you gave them and they have used it up. Purchase other products in the same fragrance or just try you whole range, maybe even place special orders from you for their gifts. before you know you might have a nice little income.
