Nothing can brighten a persons day more than a surprise gift basket. When that delivery person approaches, carrying a giant, cellophane wrapped cornucopia of goodies, who doesnt wish, just a little, those goodies were for them? Gift baskets are the perfect answer to any gift-giving dilemma. They are multi-seasonal, multi-gender and appropriate for any age and any occasion or for no reason at all. They can be generalized, filled with fruits, nuts and candy, or more specifically created with a theme in mind. Perhaps the most popular and versatile of all themes is the Spa Treatment Gift Basket. Whether your relationship with the intended receiver is casual or more intimate, a spa-treatment gift basket tells them they are truly valued and deserve a little luxuriant pampering.

An ideal Spa Treatment gift basket is made up of do-it-yourself products for a complete at-home spa treatment. These treatments include manicures, pedicures, facials and massages, just to name a few. Manicure and pedicure baskets should generally include nail-polish remover, a variety of trendy polish colors, files and buffers, lotions and nail oils. Toe separators or cute flip-flops, for drying, may even be added for an extra special touch. Facial baskets should include cleanser and astringent, an exfoliating scrub, a deep cleansing mask, moisturizer and perhaps a towel or facial sponge. A massage basket might be made up of oils and lotions and various massaging tools.

All of these spa treatment baskets should be finished off with lavish extras. Scented Candles or incense can inspire a relaxing atmosphere. Including some how-to instructions will always be helpful. Finally, no pampering is complete without some fine chocolates or even a small bottle of wine. Adding or subtracting more or less extravagant, personal and even intimate items can make the basket more suitable for the lucky person on the receiving end.
