Ingredients
- 1 cardboard box – size will depend on the item size and quantity you decide to include.

- Face mask cream – your mom’s favorite or that you think she’ll love.

Instructions
STEP1: PREP WORK
- Prepare your Sugar Scrub and your bath salts and set aside.
- Remove price tags and labels.
- Clean all the jars and items that you are going to personalize with labels.
STEP 2: PREPARE THE HOMEMADE TREATS
- Fill each medium jar with bath salts and sugar scrub.
- Close the jars and secure them well. This is mainly because they are likely to be laid down inside the box.
- Depending on the packaging of your face mask, open it and pour it into the small clear jar. Close it well too.
- Set them aside.
STEP 3: PRINT AND APPLY THE SPA KIT ITEM LABELS
- Print twice the sugar scrub, bath salts, and face mask labels. As I mentioned earlier, I’m using this cute little thermal label printer but you can use your home printer too, it just won’t bet so cute.
- If you like these cute designs, make sure you grab your Spa Kit Labels here.
- Print once the scented candle and lip balm.
- Stick one label on the lid and another one on the body scrub and bath salts jar as centered as you can.
- On the side of your scented candle cup, stick the label as centered as possible.
- For the face mask, since it’s smaller than the labels, what I did was printing it to the right size and cutting around the design with a scissor.
- Then proceed to stick the label on the lid and on the face mask jar as centered as you can.
- Stick the label on the lid of the lip balm jar.
STEP 4: PREPARE THE KIT GIFT BOX
- Inside your box place a layer of shredded paper. Add enough to keep your items protected.
- Start placing all your spa treats in jars inside making sure they fit well and don’t bounce around.
- Lastly put the sponge and headband in a way that fills any space and protects to top side of the box.
- If you still have room in your box and don’t have anything else to include, add more shredded paper.
- Before closing the box, if you are using my free labels, print the label that says Happy Mother’s Day or Love you mom and stick it to the top of the box lid on the inside for an extra touch.
- Close your gift box.
STEP 5: DECORATE AND SECURE YOUR BOX.
- Print the sentiment label and the instructions/content label once each.
- Print the labels Happy Mother’s Day and Love you Mom once each too. Feel free to print more if you want to add it to other places.
- On the top of the box place the sentiment label as centered as possible.
- Turn the box over so the side with the closing is facing you.
- Place the instructions/content label between the side and the bottom leaving the Happy Mother’s Day on the side and the instructions/content on the bottom.
- PLEASE NOTE: The instructions/content label only works if the box has full-height lid, in other words, boxes that the lid goes all the way down to the bottom.
- Add a couple more labels around the sides of the box. I put a Mappy Mother’s Day one on one side and Love You Mom on the other.
- Your Relaxing Spa Kit is done and ready to go!
