Why This Christmas Hamper for Women Is Special
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Merry Xmas! Christmas Holiday Cheer Gift Basket a good Christmas gift for someone who needs a proper rest over the holidays?
Yes, it's a generous mix of body care and bedtime treats. There's a handmade lavender soap and body lotion for the shower, plus a sleep spray and sleep balm for winding down at night. The sachet and bookmark finish it off. It's a lovely way to say 'take it easy' after a busy year.
What makes the Merry Xmas! Christmas Holiday Cheer Gift Baskets different from other lavender gift baskets?
All the lavender in this basket is grown on our family farm in Newstead, Waikato, including the oil in the handmade artisan soap. The Sleep Spray is non-staining on pillows and sheets, the sachet holds hand-rubbed buds from our spray-free plants, and every basket is packed by hand on the farm.
What occasions suit this lavender Christmas gift basket?
It's a Christmas favourite for mums, sisters, friends, teachers and colleagues, and because nothing in it is seasonal, it also works for birthdays and thank-you gifts.
Does this gift basket arrive ready to give?
Yes — it arrives gift-boxed, ready to send straight to the recipient: just enter their address as the shipping address. To include a personal message, add one of our greeting cards to your order and write your message in the Gift message or special instructions box in your cart — we'll handwrite it on the card. Receipts are emailed to you, so no price or invoice goes in the parcel.
How do I use the products in this lavender Christmas gift basket together?
Wash with the handmade soap, then smooth the body lotion into clean skin. At bedtime, rub a little sleep balm onto the temples or pulse points and mist the pillow lightly with the sleep spray, letting it dry first. Keep the sachet under the pillow or in a drawer.
Does this lavender Christmas gift basket contain nuts, coconut, beeswax or milk?
The Lavender Body Lotion and the handmade Lavender Artisan Soap contain sweet almond oil, and the soap also contains coconut oil. The Lavender Sleep Balm contains beeswax and coconut oil. None of the items contain milk. Full ingredient lists are on each product's own page.
Where does the lavender in this gift basket come from?
All of it comes from our family farm in Newstead, Waikato, where we've grown lavender since 2014. The body lotion, sleep spray, sleep balm and artisan soap are made with Super Lavandin (Lavandula × intermedia 'Super') essential oil that we grow and steam-distil ourselves, and the sachet holds lavender from the same fields.
How long does delivery take within New Zealand for this gift basket?
We send every order by tracked courier, with no signature needed. We aim to deliver within 3–5 working days in the North Island and 5–7 working days in the South Island and rural areas, and orders placed on a weekend or public holiday are sent the next business day.
Can I order this lavender Christmas gift basket from overseas for someone in New Zealand?
Yes. You can order the Merry Xmas! Christmas Holiday Cheer Gift Baskets from anywhere in the world and we'll deliver it to any address in New Zealand — just enter the recipient's NZ address at checkout. We only deliver within New Zealand, so it can't be sent to an address overseas.
