Cleanse & Calm

Cleanse & Calm: A Self-Care Package of Flowers and Soap

Self-care does not have to be complicated. Sometimes it is a good bar of soap, a vase of flowers, and ten quiet minutes to yourself. Cleanse & Calm is a self-care package built around exactly that: a soft posy of pink and cream roses, hand-tied with a lavender ribbon, and a bar of Mi&U Lavender & Mandarin artisan soap, made with essential oils and swirled in purple and cream. Lavender to calm, mandarin to lift, roses to make the whole thing feel like a treat. We hand-tie the flowers and pack every set ourselves in our Claremont studio, the way we have since 1999, and it is backed by a 5.0 Trustpilot rating and thousands of five-star Loox reviews. Find more in our bath and body gift sets, our gift hampers and the full gifts for her range.

A bar of soap, a vase of roses, ten quiet minutes. Self-care, kept simple.

What Is in the Set

Two simple things, chosen to feel like a pause in the day. The soap is Mi&U Lavender & Mandarin, a fine handmade artisan bar scented with essential oils, with lavender to settle and mandarin to brighten, swirled in soft purple and cream so it looks as good as it smells on the basin. The posy is a gather of pink, mauve and cream roses with lilac chrysanthemums, hand-tied with a lavender ribbon and ready for a windowsill. If you would like more to wash or gift, see our lavender and mandarin blossom soap, the pink serenity rose bouquet, our calm and peaceful spa set and the fig and lavender delight gift box, with more in our bath soap range.

Lavender, Mandarin and a Little Calm

Lavender has been the scent of calm for centuries, the one we reach for to quiet a busy head. Mandarin lifts it, bright and clean, so the soap feels soothing without being sleepy. Together with a few fresh roses, it makes a small ritual out of an ordinary wash, the kind of gift that says slow down and look after yourself. It is a lovely thing to send someone carrying a lot. For more gentle gifting, our mental health gift boxes and our purple roses are worth a look, and our guide to luxury gift boxes has more on building a thoughtful one.

When to Send a Self-Care Package

This is the gift for anyone who could do with a gentler week. Send it just because someone has been giving a lot, as a soft pick from our gift boxes for her, or alongside a purple flower bouquet for a birthday in lilac and pink. It is a thoughtful choice for a tired mum, too. If you are choosing for her, our 50 best gifts for mothers and our top gifts for her guides can help.

Same-Day Delivery in Cape Town

Because Cleanse & Calm includes a fresh posy, it is a Cape Town treat. Order before 12pm, Monday to Saturday, and we hand-pack and deliver it the same day across Cape Town. As the flowers are fresh, this set does not travel to Johannesburg or courier nationwide the way our boxed gifts do, so it is for Cape Town addresses only. You will find it any day in our same-day flower delivery range. Want it sent for a set date, or a card in your words? Add a note at checkout or email hello@fabulousflowers.co.za.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is in the Cleanse & Calm self-care package?

It holds two things: a fresh posy of pink, mauve and cream roses with lilac chrysanthemums, and a bar of Mi&U Lavender & Mandarin handmade artisan soap, made with essential oils. The flowers vary a little with the season while the calming lavender-and-rose feel stays the same.

What should a self-care package include?

The best self-care packages keep it simple: something for the senses, something pretty, and nothing that needs much effort to enjoy. Cleanse & Calm does just that, with a soothing lavender soap to use and fresh flowers to look at, so the person receiving it can simply slow down.

Can I get same-day delivery in Cape Town?

Yes. Order before 12pm, Monday to Saturday, for same-day delivery across Cape Town. Because it includes a fresh posy, it is delivered within Cape Town only, and does not travel to Johannesburg or courier nationwide.

Is it a good gift for someone who is stressed?

It is one of the kindest. A calming soap and a vase of fresh flowers are small comforts that ask nothing in return, which makes the set ideal for a friend who is run down, overworked, or simply overdue a little care.

What does the lavender and mandarin soap smell like?

It is a gentle, fresh scent: calming lavender softened with bright mandarin, made with essential oils rather than synthetic fragrance. Because it is handmade in small batches, each bar's purple-and-cream swirl is a little different.

Can I add to the set or send a bigger one?

You can. Add a card at checkout, or take a look at our larger pamper and spa sets if you want more in the box. Tell us what you have in mind at hello@fabulousflowers.co.za and we will help you put it together.

Fabulous Flowers and Gifts Fresh Flowers Care Instructions

Fresh Flowers

Find a Vase: Your lovely blooms need a drink! Put them in your favourite vase with fresh water as soon as possible.

Trim Those Stems: Keep those stems fresh by cutting them at an angle. This allows more water up the stem. Checking and trimming the stems every few days will keep them sound.

Gently Strip Leaves: Remove any excess leaves, especially from the part of the stem that will be submerged. This helps to avoid rot and bacteria, which can shorten your flowers life span.

Remove Old Blooms: Drooping flowers release ethylene gas, which may accelerate the aging of other flowers. Strip off any dead or dying flowers to keep the rest of the bouquet looking bright and fresh.

Keep Them Cool: Place your flowers away from heat sources such as heaters, televisions, or ovens to retain the beauty of your flowers.

Clean Water: Always place your flowers in clean water. Refresh your vase with water daily or at least every second day.

Gift Boxes

Storage Tips: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to keep contents in perfect condition.

Handling with Care: Handle this box gently so as not to damage the delicate items inside.

Freshening: If your gift includes foods or beverages, please refer to the individual product use-by and expiry dates and the informational materials regarding storage recommendations:

Plants

Watering: Ensure your plants are hydrated but avoid overwatering. Check the soil moisture regularly and water it when the top inch feels dry.

Light: Place your plants in a spot where they receive the appropriate amount of light. Some prefer bright, indirect light, while others thrive in low-light conditions.

Feeding: Feed your plants with a balanced fertiliser every few weeks during the growing season to keep them healthy and vibrant.

Pruning: Regularly remove dead leaves and trim back overgrown branches to encourage new growth and maintain the plant shape.

Humidity: Some plants thrive in high humidity. If needed, mist your plants occasionally or place a humidifier nearby to create a favourable environment.

Artificial Flowers and Plants

Dusting: Your artificial flowers and botanicals should be lightly dusted regularly with a soft cloth or feather duster.

Light Washing: For deeper cleaning, please use a cloth lightly dampened with water and a small amount of mild detergent. Gently wipe the leaves and petals.

Avoid Direct: Sunlight Do not place under direct sunlight in order to prevent colours from fading.

Fluff and Arrange: Just fluff up petals and leaves to remain fluffy. Set them in position as desired to look natural.

Personalize: Gift your flowers, Gift Boxes, and Artificial Flowers and Plants with the Care They Deserve; they will be a Source of Joy and Elegance for you. The charm of fresh flowers, the delight of a thoughtful gift box, and the endless beauty of an artificial plant all special moments created by Fabulous Flowers and Gifts.
