I made a gift basket for Valentine's Day, just to test the waters. What do you guys think?

Since you asked for feedback:

  • Since you do not currently offer massage or hair oils in your shop, I recommend listing ingredients for them because people are sometimes very selective with what oils they put on their body.

  • Same with the scrub. If you mean one of the shop's current scrubs, please specify which formulation you're talking about.

  • 4oz is a LOT of oil. I have a 2oz from HoG that I got last year and I've barely dented it (though I own a lot of hair stuff, so maybe that's why). Speaking personally, I would neither buy a hair oil in that size, nor gift anybody with that much. Even with a massage oil, you are not going go through a 4oz bottle, never mind 8oz total, very soon, unless they repurpose it for, er, lubricant. And since there are no ingredients listed, that would probably be a poor idea.

  • Gift baskets like these are usually intended to be to-go spa days - packaged well, curated with care, and meant for (at most) a relaxing weekend. It's the gift of having a really nice day to pamper yourself. With 4oz of hair oil and 8oz of massage oil, that is not a day, that is too much IMO. It makes me feel like you're using big bottles to fill out the basket unnecessarily.

  • I DO like that the scrubs are small 2oz jars that come in a variety. If they're anything like the HoG jars, those are perfect for sampling, traveling, switching it up according to mood, etc. To me, that is more appropriate for a gift basket than 2 big-ish bottles of massage oil.

  • Just a small note, but I personally prefer inventory to be completely listed in the desc. I almost missed that the photo shows the lip balm flavors. I recommend mentioning that in the description too.

  • I don't personally care too much about photography or fancy logos, BUT I recommend product shots that includes labeling. A) I want to know they will be labeled properly for my giftee and B) since it's a gift I want to kinda know how it will look.
