Soak & Soothe

Soak & Soothe: A Bath Bomb Gift Set Made for Unwinding

Some days only a long bath will do. Soak & Soothe is built for those: a bath bomb gift set that turns the bathroom into the calmest room in the house. Inside is a pouch of Classic Lavender Epsom bath salts from Cape Town maker Dinaledi, a rose bath bomb to fizz alongside it, and a soft posy of pink and cream roses to set the mood. Lavender to calm, rose to soften, and a warm soak to do the rest. 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.

Soak & Soothe at a Glance

• Inside: lavender Epsom bath salts, a rose bath bomb and a fresh posy
• Scent: calming lavender and soft rose
• Palette: lilac, pink and cream, tied with a lavender ribbon

Run the bath, dim the lights, let the day go. Lavender, rose and a long soak.

What Is in the Set

Three things for one good bath. The bath salts are Dinaledi's Classic Lavender Epsom salt, mineral-enriched and all natural, the kind you tip under running water and feel your shoulders drop. The bath bomb is a rose one, scattered with real petals, for a little fizz and colour. And the posy is a gather of pink, lilac and cream roses, hand-tied with a lavender ribbon, ready for the windowsill while the bath runs. If you want more to unwind with, see our lavender bliss spa set, our rose relaxation gift, the lavender dreams tulip bouquet and the serenity spa set, with more purple blooms in our purple flowers range.

Lavender to Calm, Rose to Soften

There is a reason lavender turns up in every bedtime routine: it is the scent we reach for when we want to slow a racing mind. Rose softens it, warm and a little sweet, so the two together feel like a deep breath. Epsom salts add the practical part, magnesium-rich and a classic way to ease tired muscles after a long week. Soak & Soothe puts them in one box so the whole ritual is ready to run. For more gentle gifting, our health and wellbeing gifts and mental health gift boxes are worth a look, and our get-well flowers and gifts guide has more ideas for someone who needs looking after.

When to Send Soak & Soothe

This is the gift for anyone running on empty. It is one of the kindest get-well hampers you can send, since a warm bath helps more than most things, and a lovely just because surprise for someone who never slows down. The soft lilac and pink make it a pretty match for our lilac flowers, and it is a thoughtful pick for a tired mum. If you are choosing for her, our heartfelt gifts for mum and our online birthday gifts guide can help.

Same-Day Delivery in Cape Town

Because Soak & Soothe 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 Soak & Soothe bath set?

It holds three things: a pouch of Classic Lavender Epsom bath salts and a rose bath bomb, both from Cape Town maker Dinaledi, and a fresh posy of pink, lilac and cream roses. The flowers vary a little with the season while the calming lavender-and-rose theme stays the same.

How much Epsom salt do you put in a bath?

A good handful, or about half a cup to a cup, dissolved under warm running water is plenty for a standard bath. Soak for around twenty minutes to feel the benefit. The pouch in Soak & Soothe holds enough for several baths.

What is Epsom salt good for?

Epsom salt is a magnesium-rich mineral salt traditionally used to ease tired, aching muscles and help you unwind in a warm bath. That is exactly why it sits at the heart of this set, alongside calming lavender and soft rose.

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 get-well gift?

It is one of the kindest. A warm bath with lavender and Epsom salts is a simple comfort, and because everything is ready to use, the person you send it to has nothing to sort out. That makes it ideal for someone unwell, worn out, or simply overdue a rest.

Are the bath salts and bath bomb natural?

Yes. Both are handmade by Dinaledi from natural ingredients, with mineral-enriched Epsom salt and a rose bath bomb scattered with real petals. They are made in small batches rather than mass-produced.

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.
