Why This Lavender Refresh Gift Box – Christmas Glow Is Special
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Merry Christmas! After-Shower Lavender Gift Box a good Christmas present for someone who loves a fresh, relaxing routine?
Yes — it covers the whole end of the day: a cooling lavender mint after-shower mist, a body oil for soft skin, and a sleep balm for the temples before bed. The sachet and dried flowers add a soft lavender scent to the bedroom. Every item gets used, which makes it an easy gift to love.
What occasions suit this lavender Christmas gift box?
It's made for Christmas, but nothing in it is seasonal, so it also suits birthdays, a thank-you, or a self-care treat after a busy year.
Does this gift box arrive ready to give?
Yes — it arrives gift-boxed, ready to send straight to the recipient: just enter their address as the shipping address. To include a personal message, add one of our greeting cards to your order and write your message in the Gift message or special instructions box in your cart — we'll handwrite it on the card. Receipts are emailed to you, so no price or invoice goes in the parcel.
How do I use this lavender Christmas gift box as an evening routine?
After a shower, mist the after-shower spray over towel-dried skin, then massage a little body oil into damp skin. Before bed, rub a small amount of sleep balm onto the temples or pulse points. Tuck the sachet under the pillow or in a drawer.
Does this lavender Christmas gift box contain nuts, coconut, beeswax or milk?
The Lavender Body Oil contains apricot kernel and argan oils, and the Lavender Sleep Balm contains beeswax and coconut oil. None of the items contain milk. Full ingredient lists are on each product's own page.
Where does the lavender in this gift box come from?
All of it comes from our family farm in Newstead, Waikato, where we've grown lavender since 2014. The body oil, after-shower mist and sleep balm are made with Super Lavandin (Lavandula × intermedia 'Super') essential oil that we grow and steam-distil ourselves, and the sachet and dried flowers hold lavender from the same fields.
How long does delivery take within New Zealand for this gift box?
We send every order by tracked courier, with no signature needed. We aim to deliver within 3–5 working days in the North Island and 5–7 working days in the South Island and rural areas, and orders placed on a weekend or public holiday are sent the next business day.

Yes. You can order the Merry Christmas! After-Shower Lavender Gift Box from anywhere in the world and we'll deliver it to any address in New Zealand — just enter the recipient's NZ address at checkout. We only deliver within New Zealand, so it can't be sent to an address overseas.
