Giving lavender: a simple gift to get right
When you do not know all the tastes of the person you are giving to, a familiar scent is a reassuring choice. Lavender is one of them: you roughly know what you are giving, and it immediately evokes Provence. That is the idea behind our gift sets: bring together in one box a few products that go well together, without having to put the gift together yourself.
The metal tin gift set
Our metal tin gift sets come in two versions. The tin is reusable: once opened, it can be kept to store small objects, which extends the gift. Each one contains three products:
- a 100 g artisan lavender soap;
- an 18 g lavender and lavandin sachet, to slip into a drawer or a wardrobe;
- and, as you choose, a 10 ml lavandin essential oil or a lavender pillow mist of 50 ml.
Pillow mist or essential oil?
This is the only real choice to make. The pillow mist is sprayed on the pillow and bedding before going to bed: it is the “evening” gift set, simple to use. Like any alcohol-based spray, it is flammable: spray it away from a flame and keep it out of the reach of children.
The essential oil is more for someone who already uses a diffuser or likes to make their own preparations. It needs a little more care: it is never applied undiluted on the skin and is kept out of the reach of children. If you give this gift set, check that the person can use it: the essential oil is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women and young children.

Ordering in time
Delivery times to allow for
Orders are shipped within 24 hours. After that, the time depends on the carrier: generally 2 to 3 working days for Colissimo home delivery, and 3 to 4 working days for a Mondial Relay pick-up point. In December, carriers are very busy and delivery times can get longer. To give in time, the simplest thing is not to wait until the last days.
A gift sent directly
There is no need to receive the parcel in order to forward it. At the “Addresses” step of the order, you can enter a delivery address different from your billing address: the gift goes to the person, and you keep the invoice. Remember to tell them the parcel is on its way, so they know who it is from.
Delivery to a pick-up point is free from €59 of products (excluding shipping costs), for delivery in mainland France.

The extra little touch
A gift is better with a note. A few ideas to personalise the gift set:
- a card that says why you thought of this person;
- a tip for use: the sachet slips into a wardrobe or under the pillow, and its scent is revived by gently pressing it between your fingers;
- the metal tin, to keep: say so, it is a nice surprise.
And if you are hesitating between the two gift sets, look at what the person usually uses in the evening: a bedtime ritual points to the pillow mist, a taste for essential oils and diffusion points to the essential oil set.
