Holiday Pampering Gift Basket Idea

This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and GODIVA, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #GiveGODIVA http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV

I think it's safe to say that there's at least one person on your holiday shopping list who is a bit difficult to buy gifts for, right? Christmastime is just so busy for everyone, and the last thing anyone thinks of is to take a moment for yourself and recharge. So, instead of the usual gift card, I decided to get a little more creative this year and give a gift to encourage that much needed time to pamper yourself!

Even if you are on a tight holiday shopping budget, you can certainly adjust this gift to cost as much or as little as you'd like. I found everything in the basket at Walmart, and it was really nice to get everything I needed in one stop! I'll show you what I found for my basket to hopefully inspire you to create a basket for your friends, family, or even yourself!!

First things first - EVERY pampering day should include chocolate!! I chose to include the GODIVA Assorted Chocolate Caramels and Assorted Milk Chocolates gift boxes in my gift baskets. The gift boxes are gorgeous enough to give on their own, or make a sweet addition to any gift basket. Visit Walmart this holiday season for GODIVA Chocolate Gift Boxes. Available in three 9PC varieties and also a 15PC Dark All-of-a-Kind (while supplies last).

I know I always seem to feel a little prettier after doing my nails, so I wanted to include some items for getting those feet looking fantastic and feeling soft. Plus, since we are all working hard and getting our shopping done, our feet really need some comfort! I found some cute nail polishes and toe separators, and then some plush aloe socks to wear to keep feet warm and looking festive!

Since the socks, nail polish, and separators looked strange loosely added to the basket, I decided to roll them all together and put them into a mason jar. Then, I added a cute "Mistle Toes" printable label to the top of the jar lid to add some Christmas spirit to the basket. You can download and print the labels for yourself if you'd like to use them on your own gifts:

Personally I enjoy curling up with a warm blanket and watching a movie to relax. So, I've also created a printable to add a Redbox code (you can purchase promo codes on their site) so your giftee can go choose a movie they've been wanting to see anytime!

At Walmart, I also found face mask, foot scrub, lotion, and lip balm. Then I arranged all the gifts and the GODIVA gift box in a cute wire basket wrapped with ribbon. I hope this holiday pampering gift basket idea has inspired you to create a gift for those you love and also makes your life a bit easier when you're shopping!

Reversible Superhero Apron Tutorial at artsyfartsymama.com

My daughter has been obsessed with watching cooking shows and wanting to learn to cook for herself. She has also been on a superhero kick lately. So, I decided to combine the two and create a superhero apron to give to her for her birthday next month. I couldn't decide on one superhero, so I took the apron-making a step further and made it reversible so she can pretend to be Wonder Woman or Batgirl!!

Once fall starts, we see candy corn everywhere. I'm not a fan of the candy myself, but I love to create with it and love those orange, yellow and white stripes!! These candy corn cookies are a sweet treat to enjoy this fall and are so easy to make. Plus, there is no candy corn at all in the recipe, so that alone guarantees that they'll be delicious!
