Why This Thoughtful Gift for a Friend Is Special
Frequently Asked Questions
What can I send to let someone know I'm thinking of them — is the Thinking of You Soap & Sachets Gift Set a good choice?
Yes, it's a gentle, comforting set. Inside are a little owl aroma stone with a bottle of pure lavender essential oil to scent a room, two sachets for drawers or under the pillow, and a creamy goat milk soap. It works as a sympathy gift, and for any time you want someone to feel looked after.
What makes the Thinking of You Soap & Sachets Gift Set different from other lavender gift sets?
The essential oil and both sachets in this set come from our family farm in Newstead, Waikato. The eucalyptus, rosemary and lavender sachet is filled with all three plants grown spray-free on our farm, the owl stone needs no heat or power, and the goat milk soap gives a creamy goat milk lather.

Besides sympathy, it suits get-well wishes, someone going through a hard time, a friend living alone, or a small thank-you. It's also a thoughtful housewarming gift.
