I’m at that age now where most of my friends are moving into their first “adult” apartments. Gone are the roommates, the messy couches with potato chips stuck between the cushions, and the funky smells that come with not cleaning on a regular basis — and thank goodness for that! With this however my schedule is filled with more housewarming parties than I can count and when it comes to close friends you don’t want to bring your run-of-the-mill gift; you want something personal, tailored to their taste, but also useful for their new home. Ladies and gents feast your eyes on Valsey and Me! For $73 you get a treasure chest (three colors to choose from: Natural, White, and Black), topped with a grosgrain ribbon and filled with 40 personal-sized single-use guest soaps each of which have been individually hand-wrapped in fine tissue paper, and customized with what you wish (up to 15 characters). You even get to pick the scent for the soaps — Lavender Oatmeal, Lemon Ginger, White Grapefruit, Cinnamon Orange, Milk, Almost & Honey or a mix of all five. The white box also comes in a mini box size which is perfect if you’re looking for something to complete a gift basket or for a smaller splurge (it’s $25 for 10 soaps).
I just got the Black Deco box filled with Lavender Oatmeal soap each of which says “Mwah!”…how cute!!
Have you come across any great housewarming gifts lately?
Thanks for the find! I think I might consider getting this for one of my friends, she just moved into a new apartment! It would make a perfect house-warming gift!
