Why This Soothing Lavender Scent Set Is Special
Frequently Asked Questions
I'd like a small, simple lavender gift that still feels special — is the Lavender Aroma Gift Box a good choice?
Yes — it's a simple pairing of our lavender body lotion and a lavender sachet, gift-boxed and ready to send. The lotion is light and fast-absorbing for daily use, and the sachet keeps a drawer or handbag smelling of lavender. It's small, but it doesn't feel like an afterthought.
What occasions suit this lavender body lotion gift box?
It suits birthdays, thank-you gifts, teachers, colleagues, Secret Santa or a small celebration. It's also a good add-on when you want something modest but thoughtful.
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 lotion gift box?
After a bath or shower, massage the lotion into clean skin until absorbed — it's light enough to use every day. Place the sachet in a drawer, wardrobe, pillowcase or handbag; a gentle squeeze now and then helps release more scent.
Does this lavender body lotion gift box contain nuts, coconut, beeswax or milk?
The Lavender Body Lotion contains sweet almond oil. Neither item contains coconut, beeswax or milk. Full ingredient lists are on each product's own page.
Where does the lavender in this gift box come from?
Both come from our family farm in Newstead, Waikato. The body lotion is made with Super Lavandin (Lavandula × intermedia 'Super') essential oil that we grow and steam-distil ourselves, and the sachet is filled with lavender harvested 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 lotion gift box from overseas for someone in New Zealand?
Yes. You can order the Lavender Aroma 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.
