Christmas Gifts from Hitchin Lavender: Self-care and Wellbeing

Amid the hustle and bustle of the festive period, it’s hard to remember that Christmas is supposed to be relaxing! Visiting family, preparing for parties, and, of course, copious amounts of shopping – Christmas ‘peace’ often feels hard to come by…

The busyness of modern Christmases is probably the reason for the perennial popularity of gifts involving self-care and wellbeing. Whether it’s a warm bath fragranced with a floral aroma or a nourishing natural lotion, presents like this are a reminder of the restorative powers of relaxation during wintertime. There’s no better way to harness this than with the essential oil sourced from our own lavender flowers, and which you’ll find in the vast majority of our wellbeing products.

There are still a few days left to place orders via the Hitchin Lavender online store! For the best chance of delivery before Christmas, please place your orders by Sunday 17 December!

Aroma

As we mentioned on last week’s post, lavender aromas are a perfect way to soothe the mind and body during turbulent times. Alongside our home fragrance options, our online store is well stocked to provide tranquil aromas in bathroom settings.

A chunk of our indulgent lavender and cocoa butter bath melt will turn any bathing routine into luxurious and restorative downtime. Or try a drizzle of lavender foam bath for an experience that combines cleanliness and fantastic aromas in equal measure. Complete the experience with the soft light of one of our lavender-scented candles, and you’ve got yourself a genuine spa at home!

Nourish

Give the gift of protection against winter’s cold with our range of natural lotions and creams!

Our lavender body butter and lavender and peppermint foot cream have been ever-present in our nourishing range in recent years. Empowered by a blend of our lavender essential oils, these products are guaranteed to leave skin feeling soothed and moisturised.

A more recent addition to our range is our hand and body lotion infused with lavender and rosemary. The energising aroma of rosemary is an excellent complement to our familiar lavender scent, and comes at no cost to the restorative powers of our essential oils.

Cleanse

Lavender and cleanliness have long gone hand in hand – so much so, in fact, that the flower’s name potentially derives from the Latin word lavare, meaning ‘to wash’.

At Hitchin Lavender, we’ve plenty of options to keep you and your loved ones feeling clean and refreshed. Each of our products benefits from the organic anti-microbial properties in our lavender essential oils – cleaning really does come naturally to our range!

Our range of soaps are always popular options, and make for excellent compact gifts – perfect for any Christmas stocking! Or why not upgrade your regular bathroom products with one of our luxurious lavender hand washes and body washes?

With all our best wishes,
