Christmas Gift Collection from Botanicals
Christmas gifts for everyone
Why not make your friends and loved ones feel truly pampered this year?
Our Christmas collection includes six gorgeous pamper boxes. All handmade, with beautiful recyclable packaging.
We’ve introduced some brand new products, along with some good old favourites and some heavenly winter warmers – all with amazing smells!
The organic pamper boxes, which are all certified by the Soil Association, include;
‘Feet Treats’; An all-natural foot care collection containing all you need for a pampering home pedicure.
‘Winter warmer’ for hands and nails; A trio of treats for winter-challenged hands.
Rose & camellia body care collection; Infused with the exotic essence of pure organic rose oil.
Orange blossom body care collection; Exquisitely fragranced with pure neroli (distilled from hand-picked orange blossoms).
Plus a choice of two face skin care gift boxes; containing a trio of products from our organic facial care range.
There’s something for everyone, and of course it’s all completely natural.
We are aware that everyone’s looking for value this year, so we’ve priced each pamper box under £20. (We’ve also included a £5 gift voucher, making them even better value!)

Christmas is coming….
Chrismas is coming
Christmas is coming; they say the geese are getting fat,
But here at Botanicals, we never think of that.
For we are busy making organic, natural treats,
Perfect gifts for those you love; for faces, hands and feet.
And just in case the festive rush gets you in a spin,
(Traffic jams and jostling crowds do nothing for your skin!)
Remember, at Botanicals, we can save you time –
Our range of hand-made gifts is available online.
I hope you like our little rhyme 
We’ve been really busy in recent weeks with preparations for the festive season, and are finally adding the finishing touches to our 2010 Christmas Collection.
Our theme this year is ‘Pamper‘ (rather than ‘Hamper’). We’ve included some brand new products (all with amazing smells!), some good old favourites, and some heavenly winter warmers.
Why not make your female friends and loved ones feel truly pampered this year?
There’s something for everyone, and of course it’s all completely natural.
Our Christmas Gift Collection will be available from early November. Watch out for details!

Do organic skin care products really need to smell so bad?
We capture the true aroma of plant essences.
Surely, everyone (women and men) go for nice smells when choosing a personal care product. The cosmetics giants know this only too well, and invest millions of dollars in the formulation of fragrance. Unfortunately, this is typically synthetic fragrance, which brings with it the health concerns covered in my earlier blog post about ‘secret ingredients’.
Why then are organic skin care producers seemingly not conscious of the importance of a nice smelling product?

Herbal treatment for damaged hair
We all love to see the sun, but it can wreak havoc with our hair, making it dry, brittle and straw-like. Add in a holiday with a dip in salty sea water, or even a gentle swim in a chlorine-filled pool, and the damage to your hair can be severe.
Natural is best when it comes to hair treatments.
But reaching for a chemical-based shampoo, conditioner or treatment for damaged hair, that promises to ‘moisturise’ and ‘hydrate’, can often exasperate the problem. Whilst a treatment for damaged hair can often mask the problem, the underlying condition will usually remain, meaning that the product has to be re-applied – often daily.
Petro-chemical based hair care products can be drying and irritating to the hair and scalp, causing a vicious circle to occur. (Our hair feels extra dry and brittle, so we slather on the moisturising shampoos and conditioners in blissful ignorance that these may themselves be contributing to the condition.)

‘Miracle Remedy’ for dry skin on feet
'A miracle cure' said May about our natural foot balm.
May, from Dunblane, had suffered with skin problems on her feet for many years; a common complaint for people with diabetes. She had tried all sorts of ‘prescribed’, and ‘over the counter’ products, but explained that nothing had been able to help: “My feet were in a terrible state, dry and cracked, and I’d been very worried about getting foot ulcers – which can lead to serious complications” explained May.
