  • My Affordable Teacher Gifts For End Of School Year

    The end of the school year is creeping up for families and schools in the UK. It’s an exceptionally busy time thanks to a mix of different events before school gates shut for the Summer. One thing many parents will be rushing around grabbing within the next 2 weeks are gifts and cards for their children’s teachers. If you know me or/and read my blog posts, you would have guessed I sorted out our gifts ages ago! Just in case you are looking for some last minute inspiration, here is what I bought my daughter’s two primary school teachers for the end of this week.

    My Teacher Gifts!
    Simple’s Pollution Protect Sheet Mask

    I picked this up for 49p in Home Bargains a few months ago. I opted for this because I’m not sure of my daughter’s teacher’s skin types and it’s a safe option. No fragrances are included, no alcohol and colourings. Ideal for skin which could be sensitive so okay for all skin types. The Simple masks I’ve used have been very moisturising and nice on the skin, so I thought this was a good and exceptionally priced buy.

    The Body Shop’s Bath Bubble

    I’ve used these many times and enjoyed them because they’ve created fragrant and enjoyable baths. Only £1.50 each and available in a variety of fragrances. So not only a great quality product, but an everyday affordable item too.

    The Body Shop’s Body Butter

    When The Body Shop had a sale late last year/beginning of this year, I bought these knowing these would be teacher gifts. Most people love a body butter, and these were the perfect small sizes (50ml) to use as a try me. Or possibly ideal travel sizes if teacher’s were going away during the Summer holidays. £2.00 each and a great body product I’ve loved using myself in different fragrances.

    Dr Organic’s Body Wash

    Another item bought from Home Bargains. 75ml body wash for only 49p was the icing on top of the cake for a small gift bag containing 4 different bath, body and skincare products! These smelled great and in a decent size. The full sized versions of 250ml usually cost around £6.00, so this shows how well priced this body wash was.

    So for the grand total of £4.48 each (x2), this gift hasn’t broken the bank. I would hope that they’re enjoyed and is different to the usual box of chocolates teacher’s get! For under £5.00 this should give our teacher’s a little well deserved pampering, all done on a budget!

  • Bath Time On A Budget With The Body Shop’s Moringa Bath Bubble

    One of the easiest ways for me to relax is in the bath. Perfect time to switch off, unwind and have some important time to myself. So it’s no wonder I have so many bath products in my collection! One product I used recently which was given to me by a friend, was The Body Shop‘s Moringa Bath Bubble. This retails for £1.50.

    What’s a Bath Bubble?

    The Body Shop’s Bath Bubbles when popped into the bath produce bubbles, fragrance and colour.

    How does it look?

    Wrapped in a small yellow coloured packet, Moringa Bath Bubble is a small, flat, yellow, heart shaped looking bath bomb/fizzer. Hard in feel and slightly chalky like a bath bomb. It’s very simple in look, very plain but still left me intrigued and wanting to use it.

    Fragrance

    Moringa Bath Bubble‘s fragrance is an uplifting, slightly sweet floral mixed in with a touch of plant like smell. I’m not a massive floral fan. But because this isn’t heavy and doesn’t have one particular flowery scent dominating it, I found this to be really nice.

    In the bath

    Under warm running water, I could see the outer layer of this Bath Bubble fizzing nicely and it started to produce small amounts of foam. By the time I came to turn the water off there was a surprising amount of foam created from such a small little item! White, fluffy, super soft and airy foam lay on the top of a slightly yellow/marine coloured bath water, which impressed me greatly. The original fragrance I could smell when I opened the packet was what I could smell in my bathroom, but it was beautifully subtle which I loved!

    This was a very relaxing and enjoyable bath. On my skin, I felt Moringa Bath Bubble was quite moisturising on the skin. I didn’t feel I needed to use anything straight away on my skin after I got out of the bath because my skin wasn’t dried out at all.

    Recommended?

    Before I was given this I didn’t realise that The Body Shop made these AND bath bombs. I didn’t realise that a small £1.50 love heart would be of such high quality and unbelievably affordable and create so many bubbles. Fab little bath time treat which doesn’t break the bank, so totally recommended!
