Bath in Luxury Gifts

A long week of work and classes makes me ready to take a load off and loosen up once the weekend strikes. But we all know that the likelihood of me getting a weekend full of spa like treatment and peace and quiet is not really probable. Even when I have a breather from work I find myself lost in chores and errands, house cleaning, and other tasks I’ve been putting off. Where I might be able to talk someone into giving me a five minute back rub, I don’t think I’ll have time for a facial and a massage. In today’s world where we live such busy lives, it is nearly impossible to creek away for an hour or two let alone a full day to just forget about our hectic lives and catch a bit ‘me’ time. While I can perhaps add in a chiropractor’s appointment or a manicure once a month, it’s by no means enough to make me feel as if I’ve completely spoiled myself. When an occasion or a birthday rolls around and someone asks me what I want, the first thing that comes to mind is “money” or “a new can opener.” Even though these might be prudent presents, they are essentials and buying these necessities doesn’t require much sympathy. A present should be a thing you want, not a thing you need. Sometimes all you need in order to rationalize a spa day is a loved one’s help or approval. A gift should encourage you to take care of yourself, not help you run yourself further into the ground. Although I can say I wouldn’t have much spare time to schedule a spa appointment even if I received a gift card, I know a few home remedies that will do the trick almost as well. When I think a friend has been working too much and needs a break, I buy them a pamper basket from Baskets By Rita to tell them to take a little time for their self. Baskets By Rita loads their baskets full of high quality spa products for an all inclusive, at home full spa treatment. The Pamper Her Gift is a perfect example of the varieties of products Baskets By Rita includes. A great gift to pamper that special lady in your life. Whether it's your mom, wife, sister or best employee. This red faux leather and seagrass basket makes a beautiful tub side keepsake. We include lotions, bath gel, scented votive candle and glass holder, loofah sponge, fragrant sachet, body polish scrub, Spa foot gel, and a nail care kit. Spa quality product she will thoroughly enjoy. A bath and body gift is the perfect gift basket for any woman. If you know someone who could use a little pampering and needs an excuse to take some time for their self, send them a Baskets By Rita spa basket to remind them they’re worth a little extra special care.

Fort Collins College Student Christmas gifts

Do you recall the sense of eagerness you had as a kid getting up on Christmas morning? I remember sprinting down the stairs as soon as I woke up and shaking my parents awake, asking them if we could open our presents from Santa. While I never knew what I'd find in my stockingcsu care packages or under the tree, there were always Christmas traditions which I could look ahead to from year to year. One of my personal favorite Christmas customs was always the candy and baked goods I would come across in my stocking and from the oven, which was hot and cozy from all the baking. With such a considerable assortment of cookies, toffees, and peppermint candies, I could give myself a belly ache by noon! Christmas was the only time of year when I was permitted to eat anything I wished all day long. Think of the children you love and what Christmas means to them. Whether you have good memories of singing Christmas carols with your nieces and nephews on the way home from church on Christmas eve, or joyfully remember sneaking around and playing Santa Clause to bring that mystical twinkle to your own children’s eyes, there are many simple things you can do to create those holiday memories that a child will look back on so fondly for years to come.

One thing that makes Christmas so extraordinary is the decorations and holiday trim you find everywhere. At Baskets By Rita we pride ourselves in the appearance of each of our baskets. We care just as much about how our baskets look on the outside as how they taste on the inside. Inside each of our holiday gift baskets you will find a variety of cookies, chocolates, drink mixes made for snuggling up by the fire, candies, nuts and popcorn, and snack mixes. Who could ask for a more ideal gift for a child? What if this year your child, niece, nephew, grand, or godchild woke up to find not only their stocking on the fireplace, but a brilliantly delicious Baskets By Rita gift basket there as well? That would be a Christmas to remember! To see our assortment of Christmas goodies, visit www.basketsbyrita.com. A great example is our CSU Fort Collins Care Package. Send your CSU Fort Collins student a care package to say welcome back to school, good luck during finals, home sick or just because. We fill our school colors green box with, BBQ snack mix, Boulder chips, caramel corn, cheese snack bites, chips and salsa, fresh baked cookies, fruit snacks, beef jerky, and a CSU mouse pad. We can add their favorite food too. We just add more great goodies like fresh baked brownies, snack mix, beverages and PowerBars to the larger sizes. . Even if you can’t be around to see their face light up this Christmas, give a gift you’re sure will captivate the littlest heart you know. http://www.basketsbyrita.com http://www.basketsbyrita.com/CSU-Fort-Collins-Care-Package_p_107.html http://www.twitter.com/basketsbyrita.com http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/pages/Baskets-By-Rita/138008009558273
