Zest & Rest

Zest & Rest: A Citrus Pamper Hamper Made to Slow You Down

Some gifts say well done. This one says sit down, run a bath, you have earned it. Zest & Rest is a pamper hamper built around one idea, a little citrus and a lot of calm. Inside is a sunny posy of yellow and cream roses, a jar of Fresh Lemon Zest body oil and a pouch of mandarin and white pepper bath salts from Cape Town maker Dinaledi, so the whole thing smells like a bright morning. We hand-tie the flowers and pack every hamper 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.

Zest & Rest at a Glance

• Inside: a fresh posy, Fresh Lemon Zest body oil and mandarin bath salts
• Palette: sunny yellow and cream, with citrus running all the way through
• Scent: fresh lemon, mandarin leaf and a little warm white pepper
• Best for: a birthday, a thank-you, a get-well, or a much-needed rest
• Delivery: hand-packed fresh, same-day across Cape Town only

Citrus for the senses, calm for the rest of you. A bath, a bloom and a moment.

What Is in the Hamper

Three small pleasures, chosen to go together. The body oil is Serenity by Dinaledi in Fresh Lemon Zest, the kind you smooth on straight after a bath while your skin is still warm. The bath salts are Dinaledi's mandarin leaf and white pepper, mineral-enriched sea salt that turns a quick soak into a proper one. And the posy is a handful of yellow and cream roses with cheerful yellow chrysanthemums, tied with a ribbon and ready for a windowsill. If you want a bigger version of the same idea, see our golden touch pamper gift set, our pamper and indulge gift box and the relax and unwind gift box, or add the matching citrus escape soap. There is more in our luxury gift boxes too.

Citrus, Calm and a Little Sunshine

A pamper hamper is really a permission slip. It tells someone that a slow morning or a long bath is not a waste of time, it is the point. We kept Zest & Rest bright on purpose, since yellow is the colour we reach for when we want to lift a mood, and citrus is the scent that makes a room feel awake and clean. It is a kind thing to send someone who has been running on empty, the sort of gift that gets used rather than shelved. For more gentle gifting ideas, our health and wellbeing gifts and mental health gift boxes are worth a look, and our guide to luxury gift boxes has more on putting a thoughtful one together.

When to Send a Pamper Hamper

This is the gift for the people who never slow down. Send it as a birthday treat, a thank-you that means it, or a get-well that actually helps. It makes a lovely pick from our gift boxes for her and a thoughtful just because surprise for someone who could do with a break. Not sure it is quite right? Our top gifts for her and our guide to gift baskets and hampers can help you choose.

Same-Day Delivery in Cape Town

Because Zest & Rest 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 hamper 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, alongside our luxury Cape Town gift hampers. 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 Zest & Rest pamper hamper?

It holds three things: a fresh posy of yellow and cream roses with yellow chrysanthemums, a jar of Fresh Lemon Zest body oil, and a pouch of mandarin leaf and white pepper bath sea salt, both handmade by Cape Town maker Dinaledi. The flowers vary a little with the season while the sunny, citrus feel stays the same.

What do you put in a pamper hamper for a woman?

The best pamper hampers mix something for the bath, something for the skin and something pretty to look at. Zest & Rest does exactly that, with bath salts to soak in, body oil for afterwards, and fresh flowers to brighten the room. Keeping the scents in one family, here it is all citrus, makes it feel considered rather than random.

Can I get same-day pamper hamper 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 or thank-you gift?

It is one of the kindest. A pamper hamper says rest and look after yourself, which makes it ideal for someone who is unwell, worn out, or simply overdue a treat. The fact that everything gets used, rather than sitting on a shelf, is part of why it lands so well.

Are the bath salts and body oil natural?

Yes. Both are handmade by Dinaledi from natural ingredients, with mineral-enriched sea salt in the soak and a light, nourishing body oil scented with fresh lemon. They are made in small batches rather than mass-produced.

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

You can. Add a card at checkout, or take a look at our larger pamper 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 build it.

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.

Please Note: Due to the seasonal nature of flowers and availability of specific items, the contents of our bouquets and gift boxes may vary throughout the year. We strive to substitute any unavailable items with products of equal or greater value, ensuring that every gift you receive is fresh, beautiful, and of the highest quality.
