Why This Small Personal Gift for Her Is Special
Frequently Asked Questions
What's a pretty birthday gift for someone who loves a soft, natural scent — is the Beautifully Crafted Light Perfume Gift Set a good choice?
Yes — the Lavender Light Perfume is a hand-blended roll-on of our lavender with sandalwood and bergamot, in a light alcohol-and-water base rather than oil. It comes with a jar of lavender fridge magnets and a mini dried lavender flower.
What makes the Beautifully Crafted Light Perfume Gift Set different from other lavender gift sets?
The Lavender Light Perfume is blended with award-winning lavender oil distilled on our family farm in Newstead, Waikato. It is scented only with essential oils, with sandalwood and bergamot alongside our lavender, and the mini dried flower is grown, dried and bunched by hand on the same farm.
What occasions suit this lavender light perfume gift set?
It suits birthdays, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, bridesmaids, thank-you gifts and Secret Santa.
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 this lavender light perfume gift set?
Roll a little perfume onto the wrists, neck or behind the ears and let it dry, and reapply through the day as you like. Patch-test first if your skin is sensitive, and keep it away from the eyes. Pop the lavender magnets on the fridge or a magnetic board, and keep the dried flower in a small vase.
Does this lavender light perfume gift set contain nuts, coconut, beeswax or milk?
No — none of the items contain nuts, coconut, beeswax or milk. The light perfume contains alcohol and essential oils. Full ingredient lists are on each product's own page.
Where does the lavender in this gift set come from?
The perfume is made with Super Lavandin (Lavandula × intermedia 'Super') essential oil grown and steam-distilled on our family farm in Newstead, Waikato, blended with sandalwood and bergamot, and the dried flower comes from the same fields.
