Top 5 Gift Sets
1) Bath & Body Brush Set
This bath and body brush set provides a natural spa experience you can enjoy every day. The dry brush—made of beechwood with sisal bristles—gently exfoliates skin without the risk of bacteria, like with plastic sponges. Scrub every spot with the long handle dry/wet brush and face brush that make it easy to clean up in a sustainable way.
2) Spice Gallery Gift Set
Take dishes up a flavorful notch with an artisanal spice gift set. Essentials like sea salt and chilli flakes sit alongside out-of-the-ordinary spice blends (ever try lemon peel, sage, and bee pollen?). It’s all directly sourced from growers and farms to ensure purity and freshness, and the blends are unique to Curio Spice Co. A tea towel and handy recipe cards round out this perfectly giftable set.
3) Mini Whipped Soap Gift Set
Taylor Street Soap Co.: Whipped Soap Gift Set - Fresh Scents
4) Lightweight Beard Oil Sets
Razor MD: Lightweight Beard Oil Sets - Citrus & Cedar + Patchouli & Lemon + Sandalwood Musk
5) Cold Brew Tea Gift Set
Make your afternoon tea an iced one with a cold brew tea gift set. Cold brewing is a slow and gentle way to infuse tea that creates more intense flavors and aromas. This set has everything you need to brew your own at home, including organic and orthodox loose leaf teas. This means the tea is hand-picked and processed according to traditional practices and it is all sourced from small-scale, non-industrial tea farms. Brewing is easy—just steep the tea overnight in the container, strain, and enjoy.
