(gifted) This post looks at how you can Make Your Own Self Care Hamper For Close Friends 2021.
We all love our friends. They listen to us when we need a friendly early and support us through thick and thin. Although we’ve not been able to meet up in person, it doesn’t mean we’re not thinking of our friends and what better way to demonstrate this than with a fabulous gift that shows them not only that you care but also how well you know them.
We tend to know our friends better than anyone and we know their likes and dislikes. This gives us an advantage when looking for suitable gifts. It also allows us to give gifts that not everyone can get away with giving, that we know they’ll appreciate and use. Seriously, who else is gonna get you your favourite tanning cream, tooth whitener, or the bubble gum scented colour changing bubble bath that no one else knows you use (like you’re sharing that one with the world lol). It doesn’t matter if they are female, male, don’t identify with any particular gender, these are great items to add into a gift hamper for anyone you are close too.
These items all have a health and beauty theme in mind as we want to look after our friends and help them feel happy too. Combine a few and make a lovely hamper, add some chocolates, a little bubbly, and a few bath bombs and you have the makings of a fabulous self-care hamper.
Here’s How to Make Your Own Self Care Hamper For Close Friends 2021
St Moritz Spray Tan in a Can
Simple to use with a quick drying formula that is mess free and develops into a gorgeous golden glowing tan. And we all know a tan makes us look and feel so much better. So spray away at those anaemic looking, easy to camouflage in snow legs, and other parts, and make it look like you’ve just come back from a tropical paradise the healthy way!!!! (no skin damage here). The spray can technique allows the user to reach those hard to reach areas to ensure the perfect lockdown tan! (Superdrug £12.99)
St Moritz 1 Hour Fast Tan Lotion
For a tan in a rush St Moritz have you covered. All you need to do is leave it on for 1 hour for a lovely light sunkissed look. Leave it another hour (so 2 hours in total) for a more golden glow and 3 hours or more for a deep dark boronze tan all without the harmful skin ageing rays of the sun. Yes, you guessed it I am pro fake tan and totally against unecessary skin damage. This fantastic product will set you back a mere £4.99 when purchased from Boots.
St Moritz Miracle Tanning Serum
This fabulous formula has been proven to fight the signs of ageing and to reduce imperfections by boosting the collagen and elastin within the skin. When used daily this gorgeous silky smooth serum will visibly reduce the appearance of both stretch marks and wrinkles in 2 weeks!!! Definitely, something my friends will love 💕and won’t take offence at receiving. You’ll find these at Superdrug and Feel Unique for £14.99.
Glo32 Whitening System
For your closest of friends, the ones you can say anything to and they won’t be offended! This will certainly help them dazzle with their smile although not in a Ross (from Friends) glow in the dark way. This product is formulated with coconut oil to give you a healthy way to a brighter, whiter smile. (Boots £30)
Foot and Calf Massager
Have you ever had a foot massage? They can be so relaxing. Obviously, you can’t pop a masseuse in a hamper but a foot and calf massager would work nicely and they can enjoy a great massage as and when they feel like it too. This would be perfect to help them relax after a long day or week at work. There are some here that you might like to look into especially if you are looking to create a luxury hamper.
St Moritz Radiant Glow Face Mist
It’s not just our bodies that are going to need a radiant glow when the weather finally warms up. Without a tan (fake) or makeup, I will confess I look like a walking corpse. I’d make a perfect extra for the walking dead, no make up required 😂😂😂. Love that show. Anyway, this mist has a streak-free formulation so you don’t look like you’re melting and is packed with vitamin E and aloe vera which as we all know are fabulous for the skin. Your skin will be left with a bronzed, healthy glow and feel hydrated too. Superdrug and Feel Unique have this for £9.99.
The Hair Boss Clear Shine Gloss
We all want beautiful shiny locks and honestly, I didn’t know there was a product that could give you this aside from healthy eating and regular washing and conditioning until recently. The Hair Boss Clear Shine Gloss is a semi-permanent treatment that revitalises hair and gives it a healthy shine that lasts up to six washes. This is suitable for all hair types and colours. Available from Superdrug for £14.99.
Montezumas Chocolate
Montezumas Chocolate isn’t just any chocolate. It’s good quality ethically sourced chocolate so the ideal items to treat anyone you care about. These guys have some delicious chocolate that is ideal for adding to these types of homemade hamper type gifts. Their Sea Dog – dark chocolate with lime and sea salt is really yummy and they have a good range of other bars in their range. These and the bags of large chocolate buttons make great items to add to make a hamper that bit more special.
Don’t forget chocolate comes from a bean. Bean comes from plants so it’s healthy (in moderation). It also contains antioxidants that fight illness and promotes the release of endorphins, also known as happy hormones for obvious reasons.
il Gusto
You may have seen a slight obsession forming with this company but seriously have you seen their site! They have a great range of products although my favourites have to be their alcoholic gifts. They have some wonderfully tempting flavours of drinks available and some equally fabulous bottles to choose from. Now I know my friends would love everything here but as this is a post about showing someone you care I though the heart would be the most appropriate item to mention. These aren’t just for Valentine’s Galentine’s, Palentine’s etc these are for anyone you care about and are guaranteed to raise a smile. And, by raising a smile again we stimulate the release of endorphins so we are literally making our friends happy with such lovely treats.
Of course, you know your nearest and dearest best, so you’ll know what would be most appropriate in regards to creating such a hamper. I hope you liked my fabulous suggestions and it’s inspired you for when you next gift a close friend.
Awesome Gifts Company
If you know your friend would love a quirky, different gift from the norm, something that no one else is likely to get, check out the Awesome Gifts Company. They have some great items, especially for meat lovers. They have an interesting selection of beef jerky products from beef jerky flower bouquets and even Western barbecue bacon jerky. It’s a pretty unique gift but something that some will really enjoy especially in flower for. You don’t get meat flowers every day!!!

Looks amazing perfect to send to my Galentines this year
It’s a lovely selection of items x
Would be the perfect anti-dote to not even getting a card (again!)
ha, that’s very true. Something a bit different can be nice.
I don’t use fake tan myself, I proffer pale and interesting (or the Victorian look of consumption depending on your point of view) 😉 However, the “Hair Boss Clear Shine Gloss” sounds awesome!
Aaahhhh you see the beauty of this is you can treat a friend and yourself with these products. It’s nice to make others smile especially at the moment xxx
Lockdown can be really hard, so to show someone you are thinking about them and especially making little care packages means so much x
It really does. It’s good to be nice x
In lieu of an actual sun-drenched holiday, the fake tan sounds perfect to give my pale face a bit of a boost! Plenty to share with my lovely mum too.
I need to put some on as I’m looking a bit pale at the moment.
While I could really do with self care at the moment, my friend is in greater need so if I won I’d get it sent to her ❤️
That’s very sweet, maybe you could give her some of the items and keep some for you too.
This is such a nice idea – my sister is in quarantine for Covid-19 right now so might send her something like this!
I think most need a treat now. Things like this will certainly get a smile or two x
I don’t normally use tanning products but am looking old and grey at the moment so the St Moritz Miracle Tanning Serum sound brilliant anti aging and tanning what’s not to love. I’ve been sending care packages of my aromatherapy stuff.
Thanks for the ideas. I’ve been thinking about making a hamper for my friend who is moving away soon and this post has been very helpful.
Lovely prize selection
Thanks, I’m glad you liked my selection xxx
My friends and I are all struggling at the moment, I don’t think the weather helps at all. Nice chocolate and a drink would give them something to look forward to even if it didn’t last very long.
Self care is so important, especially right now. I love the St Moritz self tan, whether I can go out or not!
It does make you feel better having a little colour x
Great article with some fantastic brands featured. I’m particularly interested in the St Moritz 1 Hour Fast Tan Lotion and The Hair Boss Clear Shine Gloss. My sister is 30 this year so you have given me some great ideas and a self care hamper would be a fabulous Birthday gift for her.
I would love the Boss hair care and keep it for myself and give the tanning serum to a friend
Sounds like a plan. They are great products aren’t they!
Such a lovely giveaway, thankyou for the chance!
We all need a little self care just now. I would love to try the St Moritz Radiant Glow Face Mist. It sounds like a quick fix when you need one
That is a great choice. Honestly, I think I need to bathe in it lol.
Lovely selection of products with a well known trusted name.
They sure are. I do like to feature great companies.
This is an amazing prize
Thanks Liane. They are lovely items to gift or keep.
This looks lovely the teeth whitener combined with the fake tan would look fab! 🙂
Tanning and chocolate…every girls dream
ha, you are not wrong!!!
Thanks for the info on some of these lovely products! It’s nice to come across some new treats 🙂
Thanks for the info on these products! It’s nice to come across some new treats 🙂
I agree. It’s always nice to discover new products.
This is an amazing giveaway!
Thanks Angela.
i do love a pampering treat ive heard that the v is very good would love to try it for myself!
This is a really great idea. It is my daughters birthday in June and she would love something personal like tis so I shall be making one for her. Thanks for the article
The spray tan in a can would be my first choice but it all sounds lovely. Good luck everyone.
That is a fab choice Yolanda x
I have never heard of the Hair Boss Clear Shine Gloss before today. I would love this as coloured hair loses shine.
It does sound amazing doesn’t it Jo. I think we’re all feeling our hair is a bit dull right now but this sounds like it could be the answer to fixing that.
These are all really lovely quality products that I would love to try.
Fantastic selection I love the sound of the hair boss gloss – love shiny glossy hair
I know what you mean. It’s amazing how some get their hair so glossy, it’s got to be this stuff!!!
lovely giveaway x
Thanks Flora x
I’m excited to try The Hair Boss Clear Shine Gloss – now that I’m in my fifties, my hair is getting really frizzy and not at all shiny – I’ve been trying different products and using lots of conditioner, but this would certainly be worth a try!
Sounds like it’ll be a great product for you to try.
This looks gorgeous, good luck all
They are great products!!!
Love st moritz products and keen to try the glo32 treatment, looks awesome!
They are awesome aren’t they!!!!!
The products look amazing… what a way to self care during this difficult time!!
I really enjoyed this post. More of the same please!
Lovely ideas, esp for people finding lockdown hard, would be a great pick-me-up
It certainly would and we could all do with one right now x
Ah such a perfect treat 💖💖💖 great pick me up, I could do with a pamper ty xx
What a great prize, would especially like to try the The Hair Boss Clear Shine Gloss
I love the look of all of these items, would love to try!
Woweee such fab products, would be a lovely treat for my lovely mam thanks ❤️❤️❤️
They are lovely aren’t they!
Loving all the self care items on this post – i’m running low as many of my standard fave shops are still closed! *sigh.
I hope your keeping well especially as it can be hard during lockdown.
St Moritz Radiant Glow Face Mist – I would love this to give me a bit of colour at this time of year
I am always on the hunt for fab new tanning products, even though we cant go out at the moment it is nice to make an effort sometimes. I love the Glo32 Whitening System as I have used this before and it is great.
The last time I used self tan was many, many years ago and naturally I ended up with streaks, patches and orange palms for a week.
It sounds like things have moved on a lot…but I’m still scared to try again.
Really lovely items and good suggestions for any time
Thanks Caroline. It’s good to have a good range of items in these sorts of hampers as it makes them so much nicer.
Lovely selection of items!
Thanks David. I’m glad you liked them.
I love good quality toiletries and a little self care is never a mistake
st moritz products I have never tried. I might have to give these a go. Great idea to put together a package to cheer someone up.
lovely giveaway thanks for the chance xx
I think my mum would enjoy using some of the goodies in here!
I’ve never really had much luck with self tan, but my daughter wants to try it. I love the sound of the hair boss shine gloss, winter hasn’t been kind to my hair. And you can’t go wrong with Montezumas chocolate can you?
I’ve heard great things about the The Hair Boss Clear Shine Gloss and would love to try it!
I really love all these really nice products
I love the idea of making a hamper that is perfectly put together for someone I care about and choosing items myself that I knoe they will love!
Lovely prize I have used some of the products before and think they are brilliant especially during lockdown I’ve still managed to have that lovely holiday tanned glow
That’s great to hear that you liked the products that you’ve tried from those featured.
St Moritz Radiant Glow Face Mist – my face just feels so grey at the moment!
The Hair Boss Clear Shine Gloss sounds great for my hair. St Moritz Radiant Glow Face Mist I need a radiant glow after lock down
Many thanks a great giveaway
self care is very important, my mate sent our girfy friend circle a similar thing for galetines day
love this
This is just lovely. I think so many of us have lived in lounge wear and would like to start taking care out ourselves again and looking and feeling our best for when we can see friends and family. I always feel my best when I have a bit of a glow. This is such a wonderful hamper.
The St Moritz 1 Hour Fast Tan Lotion sounds great – I always forget to do it the night before!
This is a lovely prize, I have actually started taking more time to focus on my self care over lockdown. I think we are all feeling the strain of the current climate. Thanks for sharing!
I love the colours you have chosen in the backdrops for the products you are showcasing. The Montezumas Chocolate jumped out at me, very sophisticated packaging, and I like the thought that I would be eating ethically sourced chocolate. My favourite is any dark chocolate.
I need that tan to remind me of sunnier times! X
My niece has just said she her fave fake tan products are St Moritz.
Lots of nice products and the article gives a lot of detail about them
Lovely items, my hair definitely needs the gloss as looks very dry and dull at the minute
could do with these items to have a good pamper session
I’ve tried some of the items before but not regularly. I’ve also made up pamper boxes for friends & family for birthdays usually with a theme such as bath, body or face. Never thought to include a treat such as luxury chocolate before though.
What more could you need! Percect pick me up!
What a lovely idea! I like the look of the teeth whitening kit would love to try that.
Hello, there are some lovely things here. The little plant in the photo looks really nice! I know it’s not in the givaway but I thought I’d just say!
A self care hamper is such a good idea as a gift. My youngest got one from her best friend for her birthday full of her favourite things and she loved it x
The Hair Boss Clear Shine Gloss Lasting 6 weeks is amazing, this product should last a long time
We really need to care about ourselves and not just everyone else around us. In lockdown it’s so easy to focus on looking after everyone else.
What a lovely prize!! Especially as we are probably all in need of a lovely holiday right now. This package would definitely lift some spirits!!
Oh I could do with this right about now I’m a mess with working from home life 😃
Wow! This is an amazing bundle! I would love to win and share these with my daughter!
i think this is the perfect time for gifting and treating loved ones to brighten up their day
Would love to try these, thanks for the chance. Love your blog.
I am very pale and don’t tan only burn but only tried fake tan once many years ago and looked like a poorly creosoted fence lol. Willing to try again though as products have come on in leaps and bounds
Cool giveaway love some of the item here and I like that its a hamper and I would give this to my mum sure she would like it.
Self care is important and putting together a personal bundle is a really thoughtful thing to do. I would love to try to whiten my teeth and I know my nieces would go crazily enthusiastic for the tanning products. My mum would like face products like moisturizer, but I think she would also love a facial tan, only she is too embarrassed to go buy some as she thinks it is for those younger than her! I think I will make her a self care bundle now that you have given me the idea! thanks,
I’m one for trying out a new tan, the st moritz sounds great.
They do have a good range of options.
Thanks for the giveaway and your wonderful blog I would be “made up” with this prize 🙂
I really like the sound of Glo32 Whitening System, my teeth get discoloured really easily but I hate the thought of adding so many chemicals which can damage the enamel, love that it’s made from natural ingridients
Looks nice for my wife a senior covid A&E nurse in charge of a big dept and needs a nice treat.
Yes, I agree that with friendship we get to know our friends preferences. Which allows for us being able to treat them to gifts which suit them, are useful to them, and appreciated by them. Thus expressing our Thanks and Appreciation for their Caring, Nurturing, Supportive nature and attitude.
I’d love to try the St.Moritz face mist as I’m yet to find a decent fake tan for the face that doesn’t make me look orange! Great post, thank you 🙂
I like the sound of the hair gloss every time I’ve tried them my hair ends up greasy I think I just need to find the right product
I love knowing my family and friends likes and dislikes, it makes it much easier to buy lovely gifts instead of giving vouchers. There’s nothing nicer than receiving some lovely products wrapped beautifully to make you feel pampered.
i love st moritz tanning products i find them good quality and easy to apply and they work!!
It helps when they are easy to apply doesn’t it!
Lovely set to cheer us up
It is a great selection of goodies.
i would really love to try these products, they look amazing
I have NEVER been able to make home fake tans of any kind look anything close to natural! I have tried different mitts, no mitts (YAY orange hands!), foams, mousses, oils. Gradual tans. Literally everything BUT St Moritz Spray Tan in a Can – I am now on a desperate hunt to find some so I can trial it out. Being a natural red head means I am deathly pale and I crave a natural looking glow! Where I’m overweight I’m too embarrassed to get a spray tan. Definitely going to test this one out thanks to your recommendation. I will comment again to let you know of the results !! Fingers crossed I’ve found the perfect tan for me!
Sounds great! I would love to try that St Moriz face mist!
That one is lovely. Who doesn’t love a good face mist!
I’ve never been one for fake tan, but the tanning products sound interesting so I would love to give these a go.
It is so much better for you than a natural tan. These are really good products. Ones you might find you love after you try them.
I love these products always feel like iv been on holiday when iv applyed then and I think we all need that at the moment!
We really do need that at the moment. Let’s hope the weather improves at least.
So love the descriptions for each product! I’m not the best at beauty stuff so tend to need a guide for idiots but you made it enjoyable to read!
Thanks Jodie. It does help to know what you are buying.
Making a hamper for friends is such a simple idea but one I never even thought of making. Especially the St Moritz Radiant Glow Face Mist and the healthy glow it gives sound like something me and my friends would love.
The St Moritz Radiant Glow Face Mist sounds perfect for me,im not very good with self tan because i end up looking like a orange streaky body builder,id love the fact that its streak free,i need to try it
What a lovely array of gifts here! I particularly love the tanning ones!
Got my eye on that St Moritz 1 Hour Fast Tan Lotion! Especially good for those whiter areas like the neck – I often just use tan there as the rest of me tans more naturally on my face and body! Ta 🙂 x
The tooth whitener might be the one for me – my teeth got stained in the first lockdown and the dentist won’t do a scale and polish.
I love the look of these products, perfect for getting ready for the sunshine
I agree with you. As I emerge from winter, I too look as white as a corpse. The St Moritz Face Mist would be lovely to give me a wee bit colour. I’m usually a bit wary of showing my legs to the world but after the year we have had, then who cares. There are bigger things to worry about and the St Moritz Spray Tan in a can would help add to my confidence. Life is too short to hide away.x
Self care is so important right now and I would love to try the St Moritz Radiant Glow Face Mist. Sounds an quick and easy but effective product.
great selection of products!
Some lovely items here, haven’t tried any of these before. Whitening system looks interesting, would love to try 🙂
The Glo32 Whitening System sounds great and something that could help me out.
The Hair Boss Clear Shine Gloss is something I could really use – sounds great!
It’s great these sorts of products are available.
These products look amazing, I would love to try them.
This would all be so lovely for a pamper night and post-lockdown “glow-up”
!!!!!
There’s nothing stopping you from having a gorgeous glow from now. It makes you feel great.
It all sounds fabulous
I think hampers are a brilliant idea for friends. Such a thoughtful idea!
They really are. I love that you can personalised them.
I think my daughter would love to try these x
They are great products.
I really fancy using the St Moriz one hour fake tan as I never have enough time to fake tan!!
Good to see a description of some of the products available.
I often to forget to use fake tan until too late so the idea of 1 hour fake tan sounds super handy!
It does come in handy!
Wow I need this to look TANTASTIC when the sun comes and lockdown finishes. Thanks for the chance xxx
A little pamper at the moment sounds wonderful
I know what you mean.
The Hair Boss Clear Shine Gloss looks fab, my hair looks so dull right now and need some TLC
The amount of times I put on an outfit and look washed out! The 1hr tan is perfect!
A tan in one hour is great!
the st moritz face mist looks nice, I prefer something subtle than actual fake tan
Who wouldn’t appreciate a glow up box nothing quite like sunshine in a can!
Thank you for including some info about the Hair Boss Clear Shine Gloss. This sounds like a really unusual product. I hadn’t heard of The Hair Boss before reading your article. I would really like to try some St Moritz products this summer as they always seem to get such good reviews.
Do my friends spoil me? Of course. Can’t ever do enough in return so the idea of making them gofts is great
I’ve let myself go during lockdown so would really love to try these products and feel a bit more like myself again
We all need a little pick me up at the moment.
Absolutely love the idea of self-care hampers. A few years ago I made a ‘spa in a jar’ for my best friend but this takes it to a whole new level!
They can really be lovely to cheer someone up.
The il Gusto bottles are so beautiful would make such a lovely gift
They are gorgeous. I love their bottles and drinks.
Lovely selection of goodies being fair and stuck inside with milk bottle legs I could use some of that lovely cream
Ha, these would certainly change them from milk bottle white to a more sunkissed colour.
thank you for hosting the blog and for the reviews. St Moritz 1 Hour Fast Tan Lotion sounds perfect for my needs, and is something I will try x
It’s the perfect time of year for it too.
Wow these products sounds brilliant. Given me some good ideas for my sister’s birthday presents
I’m so pleased to have inspired you. Enjoy making your sister a lovely self care hamper.
I love fake tan but I’m always nervous about applying it to my face because if it goes wrong you can’t hide it so would love to try the face mist!
A little at a time and build up is the best way.
I’ve started using tan lately. Can’t find a great body tan but found a face mist that tans really will. Just want longer lasting results and good colour in the body.
It’s all about having a streak free tan. The length they last depend on you are your washing habits.
The Hair Boss Clear Shine Gloss sounds brilliant; I like that it’s semi-permanent.
A hair shining product is always good!!!
St Moritz are really good products and better than some fake tan products that are a lot more expensive, talking streaks here. I love the sound of the Glo32 Whitening System, got to have the teeth to go with the tan, but not like Ross lol
Ha yes, teeth and tan are good but not like Ross.
Some beautiful gifts i love the chocolates and hair shine
Both are great for a hamper.
I’ve always been a little wary of fake tan as I’ve seen some disasters. But these products look so easy to use, I think I’d be brave enough to try them!
It all depends on how careful you are when you use products.
Lots of great products in this hamper,I really want to try the Glo32 whitening system
There sure are, ideal for a bit of tlc.
