SEVEN of Our Favorite Gifts for Teachers, Co-Workers, Neighbors & Friends
Buying Gifts for Teachers, Co-Workers, Neighbors…?
Check out SEVEN of our favorite co-worker/friend/teacher/neighbor/hostess gifts that we LOVE here at Hip2Save! Keep in mind that most of these gifts are not so much about getting the “best” deal, but about gifting a quality product that YOU love yourself (and one that we love too! 🙂 )!
Hip Tip: Before buying any of these products mentioned below, consider saving even MORE by snagging discounted gift cards from sites like eBay.online or Raise.online!
1.) LUSH Bath Bombs & More
Know someone who needs a little pampering? LUSH invents their own products and fragrances fresh by hand using little or no preservatives and packing – including bath, body, makeup, fragrance products and more! They use only vegetarian ingredients & tell you when the products were made!
Also, I’ve heard amazing things about the highly rated Peppermint Foot Cream ($27.95) and Handy Gurugu Hand Lotion ($21.95)! What great gift ideas for someone who needs a little pampering!
“I have used LUSH products for years! The bath bombs are the perfect pick-me-up and truly, none other onlinepare! The smells are AMAZING and they make your skin smell so good! I also think they have excellent customer service and every time you walk into their stores it’s a treat! They let you sample what ever you’d like and are very knowledgeable on their products.”
If you’re looking for a more affordable bath bomb, consider making your own OR buying these similar-to-LUSH bath bombs from Amazon for just $2.50 each!
