Epsom salt packets to give away after sessions

[VICTORY]

Hello all,

I've been thinking about giving away small packets of epsom salt for my clients to take home and use for a bath after each visit for "post session care". I'd like to package them so that they look professional and appealing, so that there's a perceived value to it. Maybe even adding aromatherapy, or whatever. I've considered using sandwich sized ziploc or glad bags but feel they wouldn't look that great, even with a label on them. Does anybody else here do this or have ideas on how to package them with minimal effort/cost?

Thanks!

dollar stores usually have packages of cellophane "gift bags" you could use. just tape or tie them shut, and they look pretty nice.

I've seen (also at the $ store) small Chinese-food takeout boxes with the wire handles -- colored cardboard ones and translucent plastic ones too. What a nice giveaway idea.

I use this company a lot. The bags of salt come to about .50 each. I believe lavendar is the only EO available, but I am not sure.

Hope this helps!

I get oils and things from this company, and here is a page of their satchels and pouches (keep scrolling down till you find the "bulk" satchels).

We do this with a muslin bag, epsom salts mixed with lavender, (we mix ourselves) and we label with one of our labels. People love these as a give a way, we have them for sale also for $2.00 and sale quite a few from time to time.

I wish I had known about Kneadfulthings company, I will probably use them as well.

Thanks for all the feedback! I visited my local dollar store this evening and got a bunch of epsom salt and some cellophane party bags (30 for a dollar!) with fun designs. I think I'll start out with these for now and them depending on the response I'll consider getting the satchels later on. Great ideas everyone!

Can you guys tell me how you mix the salts. I've made candles by hand before but never made soaps or salts. Or point me in the direction of websites that explain it.

Thanks in advance,

Jim

I used the dollar store gift bags for my mothers day gifts! To close them I used clorful pipe cleaners twisted on the ends ( like a spring ). They were a big hit with my family.


Jim- I have used this site for ideas, I think I got the link here actually.
