How to Make A Perfect Valentine Wellness Box

 

This Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to keep wellness in mind when you are creating the perfect Valentine’s Day gift. A relaxing and thoughtful gift, suggests TV host of Alive & Well Michelle Harris, can be a custom-created wellness box that you put together for a personalized wellness experience.

1.       Begin with a great box or container that is beautiful and can be re-used after Valentine’s Day.

2.       Get a new take on the traditional flowers with floral sage sticks. They look beautiful and stay that way once they have dried.

3.       Healthy sweet treats are always a hit. Michelle shares a recipe on how to make your own vegan dark and white chocolate hearts combined with gummies covered in edible glitter (see below). Vegan heart-shaped sugar cookies are a nice touch!

4.       Add some relaxing spa type items like a fuzzy sleep mask and pretty loofa.

5.      Alcohol-free beverages are the latest trend. Some Noughty alcohol-free sparkling wine is low in calories, festive and tastes delicious.

6.       Say it with love. Fun décor can be inexpensively purchased almost anywhere.

7.       Make sure to personalize your box. Feel free to add favorites for that special someone. Massage oils, aromatherapy sprays and something high tech like fit bit all make great additions to any Valentine’s Day Wellness Box!

All of these ideas will help to create a memorable Valentine’s Day this year!
