Why This Pampering Gift Set for Her Is Special
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Hand & Massage Therapy Gift Set a good gift for a new mum or someone with tired hands and shoulders?
Yes, it's a lovely gift for a new mum or anyone with tired hands. It's built around touch and comfort: a lavender massage oil for the shoulders and back, a rich hand cream for hands that never get a break, a handmade lavender soap and a sleep balm for winding down at night. It's a lovely way to look after someone who's busy looking after everyone else.
What makes the Hand & Massage Therapy Gift Set different from other lavender gift sets?
Every lavender item in this set is made with lavender oil we grow and steam-distil ourselves on our family farm in Newstead, Waikato. The hand cream is rich in shea butter for hard-working hands, and the whole set is packed by hand at the farm.
What occasions suit this lavender massage gift set?
It's popular for new mums, and it also suits birthdays, Mother's Day, nurses and carers, gardeners, or a thank-you for someone who works with their hands.
Does this gift set 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 the massage oil and hand cream in this lavender massage gift set?
Warm a little massage oil between your palms and work it into the shoulders, neck or feet with slow, firm strokes. Use the hand cream through the day, especially after washing your hands. Wash with the handmade soap, and rub a small amount of sleep balm onto the temples or pulse points at bedtime.
Does this lavender massage gift set contain nuts, coconut, beeswax or milk?
The Lavender Massage Oil, Lavender Hand Cream and handmade Lavender Artisan Soap contain sweet almond oil, and the soap also contains coconut oil. 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 set come from?
All of it comes from our family farm in Newstead, Waikato, where we've grown lavender since 2014. The massage oil, hand cream, artisan soap and sleep balm are made with Super Lavandin (Lavandula × intermedia 'Super') essential oil that we grow and steam-distil ourselves, and the dried flower comes from the same fields.
How long does delivery take within New Zealand for this gift set?
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 massage gift set from overseas for someone in New Zealand?
Yes. You can order the Hand & Massage Therapy Gift Set 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.
