Why This Thank You Gift for Her Is Special
Frequently Asked Questions
What's a good appreciation gift for a colleague or friend — is the Refreshing Body & Bath Appreciation Box suitable?
Yes — it's a fresh, uplifting body-care pair: a cooling lavender mint after-shower mist and a nourishing English lavender body oil. It's easy to use, suits most people and feels like a genuine treat without being over the top, which makes it a nice way to say thank you.
What makes the Refreshing Body & Bath Appreciation Box different from other lavender gift boxes?
This box pairs two lavenders from our Newstead farm: Super Lavandin in the after-shower mist and English lavender in the body oil. We steam-distil both essential oils ourselves, the dried flowers are grown, dried and bunched by hand on the same farm, and every box is packed by hand there.
What occasions suit this lavender body care gift box?
It works for thank-you and appreciation gifts, a colleague who's leaving, birthdays, or a self-care pick-me-up for someone who's had a busy stretch.
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 body care gift box?
After a shower, mist the after-shower spray over towel-dried skin for a cool, refreshing feel. Then massage a small amount of the body oil onto damp skin — it absorbs well and leaves skin soft. The dried flowers make a pretty keepsake for a shelf or vase.
Does this lavender body care gift box contain nuts, coconut, beeswax or milk?
The English Lavender Body Oil contains apricot kernel and argan oils. None of the items contain coconut, beeswax or milk. Full ingredient lists are on each product's own page.
Where does the lavender in this gift box come from?
The after-shower mist is made with Super Lavandin (Lavandula × intermedia 'Super') essential oil, and the body oil with English lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) essential oil — both grown and steam-distilled on our family farm in Newstead, Waikato. The dried flowers come 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.
Can I order this lavender body care gift box from overseas for someone in New Zealand?
Yes. You can order the Refreshing Body & Bath Appreciation 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.
