This Mother's Day, Think Inside the Box with Fresh Gift Ideas from Therapy In A Box

Therapy In A Box's creative gift boxes make Mother's Day gift-giving easy.

LOS ANGELES, CA (PRWEB) February 16, 2006

Hollywood make-up artist Alison Sherwood turned the traditional gift basket upside down when she introduced Therapy In A Box, her gift box line that pays as much attention to substance as it does to form, a few years ago. This Mother’s Day, Alison offers an array of fresh gift ideas for Mom. From “Head to Toe” pampering products to the Fair Trade Collection, which supports Zulu workers in South Africa, to small gifts to help mom get her “Groove” back, Therapy In A Box has the perfect gift for all of the moms on the list. Therapy In A Box makes gift giving easy with orders taken by phone at 1-800-530-1988 and online at http://www.therapyinabox.com.

Featuring the award winning Archipelago soymilk bath salt, body lotion and soap, Therapy In A Box’s “Head to Toe” box offers mom a break from her busy schedule. Following her bath, she can relax her eyes with a faux mink lavender eye pillow and indulge her senses with a citrus-scented relaxation candle, a bittersweet chocolate bar infused with lavender oil and Tazo tea. “Head to Toe” even includes a meditation book with simple steps to relaxation for moms who find it hard to slow down.

Therapy In A Box’s Fair Trade collection gives shoppers the opportunity to give back with beautiful gifts baskets priced between $86 and $250. Each of the gifts in the Fair Trade Collection is packaged in a hand woven telephone wire basket made by the Zulu people of South Africa:

“Imagine” features fair trade organic coffee, hot coco, green tea, two chocolate bars; hand made salad servers and two hand made spoons, and a beautiful set of earth tone dish towels in a 16” by 3 3/8” large earth tone basket. The basket, a fabulous gift in itself, retails for $225.

“Dream” also retails for $225 and features Archipelago Morning Mint body lotion, sugar scrub and shower gel, a body scrub brush, a bamboo teak candle, an organic mint Dagoba chocolate bar, and Refresh Tea in a large square basket that makes a wonderful accent in any home.

“Kindness,” the smallest basket in the Fair Trade collection, includes Archipelago’s brown sugar scrub, lotion and shower gel, a sisal scrub mitt, Bluwick travel candle and a tin of chocolate traveler wedges in a 7” by 3” basket and retails for $86.00.

The purchase of the telephone wire baskets helps the Zulu workers improve their working conditions and create more jobs and Therapy In A Box has committed to donate 10% of this special collection’s proceeds to La Jolla, California-based A Bridge For Africa; a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting self sufficiency and the dignity of work in rural Africa. The proceeds from these high-quality fair trade items pay the artisans a living wage, and are reinvested in further jobs, training, and development.

This year, Alison expanded her gift options with less expensive, but no less stimulating choices such as “Groove,” which includes a cheery Tepper Jackson Jewel cosmetic bag with Miso plum lip-gloss for $36.

Alison’s simple desire to relieve the frustration she often heard from friends and coworkers daunted by the task of buying gifts has resulted in a unique collection featuring nearly 75 gift boxes with an esthetic that comes from more than a decade of working on television and movie sets. This Mother’s Day, make a positive and lasting impression with a gift box from Therapy In A Box. For a complete look at Therapy In A Box’s selection, please visit http://www.therapyinabox.com.
