Bath & Body Works | I was Thinking... With The Mother's Day Tote Bag Coming Up For Purchase....
isn't it time for a change?
Don't get me wrong, I love a good tote bag full of goodies for the annual Mother's Day Purchase With Purchase happening soon...and I especially liked the Gingham larger tote they had one year 5/23, (and the leather-look Manager version gifted to me).
And we see these totes for Holiday gifting, a few came out in Summer, and Fall...and they are great. Tote Bags are handy to have. This years tote for Mother's Day - while nice - doesn't have that pizzazz for me. Granted I didn't see it in person yet, and I am only going by what I saw on the mailer card...but two things stand out for me as a "pass" on getting it.
1. Sweetest Song launched way too early...and I think it should be coming out with the Mother's Day Tote now, to build the hype up to get the collection. I feel like we knew about the May tote bag back in March...and it's off my radar. That's me...my opinion.
2. When I saw it, the tote, I thought it was a pillow at first. Or a pillowcase. For $85, ($45 with a $40 purchase) I can do a bit different kind of gift.
And I looked back through the archive here of Tote Bags and gift sets and so many were great. At the top of my list of fabulous was the Italian Gift Set you could buy during the release of the Italy Collection back in 2013. THAT...is a gift set to give...or buy for yourself. It wasn't a purchase with purchase, but I loved the eclectic group of contents included and thought - this would be a great diversion from the typical - Tote.
Bath and Body Works - think of a way to offer more of these kinds of Crate Gift Sets, with varying products to help introduce those who don't always try everything you offer.
This set offered DISH SOAP that I remember from 2012 briefly....among other thinking out of the box products.
And while we are on the subject of Mother's Day....what about a Baby Gift Set offering. Something body care wise for the New Moms out there and BABY designed with baby in mind. Think clean beauty softness meets the perfect collection for gifting.
Soft fragrances, soft products. Wrapped in Love. Can you make baby care in the perfect fragrances???
If you can add pet care to the list of offerings from your brand, Baby and New Moms should be a breeze.
Add in a delicate, fragrance free laundry fabric care product, a soft blanket, and slippers/or socks for Mom, (in pink or blue gingham of course) for that all important "me-time", some gel eye patches (to soothe the lack of sleep look), lip balm, hand creams, bath fizzy, or shower fizzy, body butter, bamboo reed fragrance oil diffuser (instead of a candle) , AROMA soft Lavender fragrances...or other botanicals.
Think of a Pampering Collection for both....you get the idea.
Anyway...below is a look at the crate set from years ago I mentioned above...and Happy Shopping to all who will be grabbing the Mother's Day Totes this weekend.
