How to Create the Perfect Spa Gift Basket for Father’s Day!

 This post is in partnership with The Dollar Shave Club. I received the products pictured free of charge. All opinions are 100% my own and were not influenced in any way.

I don’t know about you, but I love practical gifts that I’ll actually use. It saves me money that I can otherwise use on things I actually want, you know, like, expensive clothes that no one else is going to buy me. 😉

But gifting personal hygiene products doesn’t have to mean you’re insinuating they smell and to use stronger soap. Gifting premium products mean you actually care about the most important organ of their body, the skin. We get many layers of skin, but the surface is what counts, so we may as well pamper it like we’re supposed to with The Dollar Shave Clubs Dr. Carver and Wanderer body product line.

I was interested in the Dr. Carver and Wanderer line because they developed it on their own using top-shelf ingredients and botanicals, and didn’t incorporate harmful ingredients like sulfates or parabens. They also don’t test on animals, just their interns.

I am trying to steer clear of sulfates since I think they are contributing to my really bad dandruff problem and eczema issues.

What are sulfates?

If you’re unsure, I recommend reading this article.

Basically, sulfates are what give the product lather.  They strip the hair and cause issues for concern, like removing moisture from the hair, exposure to harmful microbes, allergens, and environmental pollution which in turn make the hair vulnerable to damage, infection, and illness. Something that we all should really be concerned about.

Let me ask you this one question… when you’re washing your hair does some of it come out in the shower? Mine too! That’s the sulfates.

Sulfates = no good.

First, you’ll need a cute basket. I found the denim wire one at Michaels on clearance one day, but you can get a basket just about anywhere.

So far, I love all of the products. I did find that the shampoo has more of a floral/fruity scent instead of a sage and black pepper scent which I am okay with. The conditioner had a manlier smell along with the mint cedarwood body cleanser which is perfect to put in the Father’s Day Spa Gift Basket.

I have been a member of The Dollar Shave Club for a while now, but I don’t shave as often as the monthly membership recommends, so I always pause my membership until I need more razors. The razors work well, especially with the shave butter. The razor literally glides over your skin like butter when using it.  I am now going to use nothing else but the shave butter when I shave!

You may be wondering why I am using it when it’s for a father’s day spa gift basket, but little do you know, all of their products aren’t just catered to men, women can use them too! The shave butter is perfect for both sexes and so are many of the other products.

The Hawaiian citrus face wash leaves my face feeling refreshed and the amber lavender body wash calms me down at night after a long day. I am truly a fan of their premium personal hygiene products and will now keep them stocked in our shower for both my husband and I since I feel like they’re spa quality.
