From the sunny Southwest to the rocky shores of New England, women have one thing in common. They like to be pampered. And lucky for them, when they are visiting these destinations, they can enhance their vacations with products that assist with relaxation. Health and beauty products also indulge the senses with a soak in the tub, a candlelit meditation session or a spritz with a vacation scent. And when they’re not splurging on themselves, it seems women are buying gifts to pamper their friends.
And it seems Parks’ methods are working. Among the jewelry, clothing, baby items, food, garden products, greeting cards, trivets, mugs and spices in the 2,000-square-foot store, health and beauty items account for nearly 20% of The Seasoned Woman’s sales.
Saini says her go-to vendor for oils is Amrita Essential Oils, which she deems as “very high quality.” For gemstones, crystals and related tools, she looks to Earths Elements based in Encinitas, California. And for teas, creams and balms, she relies on Nuwati Herbals.
She adds that the flamingo bath tub toys make for a wonderful impulse add-on.
In Westfield, Massachusetts, Budsuds Soapery counts its bestsellers as CBD soaps and topicals that the company has been creating for the last 10 years. The product line is made with natural organic ingredients and full spectrum CBD oil delivering beneficial cannabinoids to promote skin healing and pain relief, says Owner Amanda Caracciolo.
Colors that make scents
Like Caracciolo, Parks notes she has a “pretty strong healing theme” with new-age gifts like essential oil kits for sleep, relaxation and health, as well as water bottles with crystals, healing card decks, healing angels and Chakra stone kits and candles.Related Article: Success with sustainable soaps and scents
