It comes in a small gift box with a mini dried lavender bundle, easy to post to each helper.

Why This Gift for a Working Bee Crew Is Special

  • Our own still – The hand cream is scented with oil from our own still in the Waikato, distilled each late summer from lavender we grow.
  • Cut later, for scent – We hand-cut the lavender for the sachet later in summer, once the flowers are fully open and richest in scent, then let it air-dry.
  • Slow and by hand – The mini bundle starts as lavender cut by hand at the bud stage and dried naturally, a slow job that keeps the colour.
