DIY Bubble Bath Gift Box
Ingredients
- 1 box A Box. We used one that we had lying around the studio but you can get them really cheap in bulk at your local craft store or Amazon.
- 1 bottle Demi bottle of rosé
- 1 candle Candle These mini candles are one of my favorites and super affordable!
- 1 pack Cute matches: A lot of local restaurants and hotels have cute matches. Pick up a few on your next date night.
- 1 Lavender Bath Salts: We picked up the glass bottles from Hobby Lobby and then poured the bath salts that we bought in bulk at Central Market a local grocery store into them.
- Crinkle cut craft paper
- Ribbon
Instructions
- Add crinkle cut craft paper or tissue paper to the bottom of the box then fill with the gifts. We also added a few sprigs of eucalyptus to ours. You can forage for Magnolia leaves, rosemary, eucalyptus, holly berries or whatever else you have near by!
- Close the box, wrap with ribbon and voilá!
This DIY Bubble Bath Gift Box costs less than $30 and is perfect for just about everyone on your gifting list! Great for birthdays, Mother's Day, Christmas or any time!
Can I get a collective TGIF out there?! So excited for the weekend and so excited for this holiday season. As if the fact that I birthed her from my body wasn't proof enough of kinship, we were on our way to school one day this week and Parker said out of the blue, "Mama, Christmas music makes me so happy!". Me too, sister, me too.
Our to-do list includes finishing up our Christmas shopping and present wrapping, followed by a much overdo date night with Aaron on Saturday night. I'm dying to see a movie! Any recommendations?! (I've heard Arrival is amazing!) If you're looking for a weekend project, we made a DIY bubble bath gift box for teachers for my friend Eden's site, Sugar and Charm, and am so happy with how they came out.
My only regret is I didn't make about 8 more to give away as gifts! (They're super affordable... keep reading below for the details! And for more DIY ideas, see here!)

A Great, Versatile Gift For Bath Lovers!
This basket is perfect for people who love to relax in the bath – they would love it for sure. You can add, substitute or remove elements as needed – add a bathrobe if you have a bigger box, face masks, or even a bath pillow.
The Relaxing Power of Lavender
The lavender bath salts are so relaxing! Lavender works as an anxiolytic (an anxiety reliever) and as a sedative, to increase relaxation and calm, and help bring about sleep. Lavender interacts with the neurotransmitter GABA to help quiet the brain and nervous system activity, reducing agitation, anger, aggression, and restlessness. The perfect remedy for a stressful day!
Top Tips For This Bubble Bath Gift Box
- Pour the lavender bath salts into a glass container, for the personalized touch.
- A lovely tied bow makes the perfect finishing touch - check out this step by step guide.

Oh I wish I could remember, but it has been so long ago and I don't have the boxes any more! It was a shoe box I believe so that should give you a general idea!
