"Hi, I'm Chrissy Lyons on behalf of Expert Village and this afternoon we're going to create a spa themed gift basket. First of all, I'll show you the items that we'll put into our spa theme. I kind of also like to look at it as a relaxation and comfort cozy kind of theme. What I've put together is a mini ped foot massage lotion, just to make our feet feel good. Then I have the spa lotion which is a mint cucumber, really nice and relaxing. Then I'm going to put in also a assorted tea selection which is nice for an afternoon, to relax with. And then just for a little bit of fun, from Barnes and Noble you can pick up these little cute gag type gifts. A stress buster box. Really what it is, it's just a blow up baseball bat so you can take out all of your anxieties and hostilities with someone by blowing up the baseball bat. That's just cute for a gag gift to put in there. And then a little mini zen garden, we'll put that in there, that's always cute. Then, warm and fuzzy, cozy socks, good for relaxation, keep your feet warm. Then of course, what else would relax you but a cocktail? So here's a book of martinis, shaken, not stirred. So we'll put all of these things together and I think that will create a nice spa theme or relaxation theme. As always, I've got our filler in first and we'll put tallest in the back. You can always move things around as you go. Here's our body lotion. Also you'll notice that I kind of got the colors complimenting one another. That looks pretty. It also goes well with the color of the basket itself which happens actually to be a box. Just because you say gift basket, it doesn't have to always be a basket as you know it. There goes our cozy socks in there, and our stress buster box and our zem garden. You can play with them to get them positioned just so. And then to finish it off, you can always put in another filler. This looks pretty before you put the final wrap on, of your shrink wrap, which we will talk about in a bit. You don't really need a lot but it just kind of fills in the gaps. Get in there you. Well basically there you have your spa and relaxation gift basket. It looks good to me. Enjoy."
