During the colder months, we tend to spend a lot more time indoors. We also feel like we have somewhat less energy. When you take a look outside, there’s not much of a view to enjoy. There are no colourful flowers, the trees have lost their leaves and the sound of birds is either rare or non-existant. These factors make it quite easy to feel down and depressed in the winter but it doesn’t mean that you can’t take a few steps to bannish those blues!
Firstly, if you are feeling low, take the time to treat yourself. If you have a friend who is not feeling like their usual perky self, then it’s time to pamper them. No matter who you are pampering, a bath and body hamper is the way to go! There are so many hampers from which to choose which is why it’s important to know what you are looking for.
Pamper hampers usually make life easy by including a little bit of everything. Pay close attention to the types of products as well as their scents. For example, if you or your friend only has a shower, then bath salts or bath bombs might not be the best option. Soaps, lotions, and accessories like a luxury robe, however, would be perfect!
Take note of the scents of the products too. Lemon or citrus scented products are excellent for waking up the mind. They give you a great boost of positive energy and it can really change your mood in an instant! Lavander, on the other hand is a popular choice for those dealing with stress. If you feel like you need to unwind, this scent is for you. Rose is another delightful option and this sweet smell is just what you need to feel good about yourself. There is something undeniably luxurious about the rose scent and the way it lingers on your skin for hours.
Some pamper hampers include gift items other than bath and body products. They include champagne or sparkling wine or luxury chocolates. Think about what will make you or your friend feel good. What will offer that added sense of comfort needed to get out of that rut? It really is a matter of personal opinion and preference.
Finally, don’t forget to make the most of your pamper hamper by enjoying a nice, long soak or a relaxing, long shower. Turn on your favourite music, enjoy some gentle lighting and let the sweet smelling products soothe body and mind.
