Slumber Party
The host or hostess of ANY slumber party deserves more than
the average 'thank you'. Gift them with something at drop-off as
a 'thanks in advance' for their sleepless night ahead. While one
might think a bottle of wine the perfect gift here—just remember
this adult is in charge of your little one for the night—might
want to rethink the vino on this one. Instead opt for a gift that
promotes another way to relax—bath time! This pretty ombre
"bouquet" will outlast any blooms you pick up at your local
market. The 20-piece soap set features an array of bar soap that's
crafted to look just like blooming roses—a definite upgrade to the
rectangular version that currently occupies her guest bathroom.
