Still looking for the perfect gift? May I suggest a gift box? Themed gift boxes are a great way to package smaller gifts together into one beautiful package. I love love love thinking about a theme and seeing what pieces would make the best story. That’s why I’m so excited to share 3 thoughtful, relaxation themed gift box ideas, all around $20.
Quick Note: All prices are based on original purchase prices (i.e. not including coupons/discounts) for the most accurate estimates. Some items I already had on hand so I have linked similar items. The similar items might not be the same price I found in a local store but should be a good jumping off point. 👍
For Self Care + a Little Indulgence
bath salts | $12
bath bomb | $2.50
fancy hair clip | $4
This one felt a little silly to put together in my DIY soul because you can absolutely make this box cheaper if you DIY the bath salts and bath bomb. But the design nerd in me 100% needed these bath salts because of the packaging. 😁I’m a bath salt fiend and have had good luck finding beautiful sets at Home Goods & Target as well! I linked a bath bomb set that comes out to $2.50 per bomb ($15 for 6), or you can buy an individual one for $5.
These tiny hair clips actually came as a set, so you know everyone in my life is getting one as a part of their gift.
For the Crafter
mini canvas | $3
paintbrush | ~$5
paint set | $10
miniature, posable figurine |$8
Alrighty, technically the total cost is over $20, but you can pick up all of the supplies at your local craft store that always runs a 40% off coupon. That would bring everything back under $20 😉. For some of the lower-priced items, craft stores will only show their bulk pricing online. I’ve linked the most comparable options but some are multi-pack- that just means you can make multiple craft gift boxes!
For the extra paints and brushes, I would stash them under the box filling so the giftee would still get the whole set but the presentation would be cleaner.
For Your Favorite Tea Sipper or Spiller
loose leaf tea | ~$7
reusable tea bags | $7
tea scoop | ~$6
glass container (optional) | ~$12
Sip sip hooray! Lean into a cozy night at home theme with a box of tea essentials. Go with the giftee’s favorite or introduce them to new blends by making your own.
If you did want to find a glass container for a custom tea blend, it would bump the total box over $20, but it’s also the perfect opportunity to upcycle! I reused a candle container from our wedding which perfectly held 3 oz.!
Have you ever gifted a themed box before? Are there any kinds you’d like to see?
