Unwind Anywhere: Mini Pamper Care Packages for Your Next Getaway
I love going on weekends away and pretending I'm on my own weekend health retreat. Last year, I spent some time alone at Rest + Wild, staying in one of their dreamy cabins. I spent most of my time there in the outdoor bath and reading – I finished Dolly Alderton's "Good Material" in just a couple of days. I'd recommend a solo trip to anyone; I came home feeling completely refreshed and with newfound confidence from the experience. If you’re convinced, make sure to check out my guide to a solo travel off-grid retreat.
My first worry when I was planning my trip was that I might get bored, so I stocked up on my favourite self-care products. Taking my time with morning and evening self-care became a highlight of my trip. This got me thinking about how lovely it would be to arrive at an Airbnb, hotel room, or cabin in the woods and find a travel-sized pamper care package to enjoy during your stay.
When I got home, I got to work designing the bundle. I envisioned the products presented in a soft, handmade linen pouch that could stand on its own. I collaborated with a local seamstress to create the pattern and chose earthy-toned fabrics for the pouches.
Once the pouches were designed and crafted, I carefully selected the self-care products to go inside. I wanted to create two variations of this care package: one for the morning and one for the evening. The Sleep Care Package is filled with calming, lavender-infused products to help you wind down at night. I pictured these travel pamper kits being used on a yoga retreat after an evening vinyasa flow.
In contrast, the Energising Self-Care Package is designed for the morning, providing a refreshing start to your day. I pictured the products being used alongside a coffee, freshly baked croissant, and a good book.
I came across the wonderful travel blogger, Tanya Arya. If you haven’t seen her work, make sure to check out her travel guides. I recommend her guide to a Weekend by the Welsh Coast and her getaway to Edinburgh. I wanted to collaborate with Tanya and put one of our new mini care packages to the test. Tanya snapped some beautiful photos on her most recent mini-break and loved using all the products in our Energising bundle.
I’m excited to share a bit more with you about what’s included in our mini care packages and how you can use the products together to create a morning or evening of self-care on your next adventure.
The Mini Sleep Care Package
Our Sleep Care Package is designed to help you unwind and relax after your day and promote a night of deep, restful sleep. Each package includes:
- A Calming Aromatherapy Shower Steamer
- Lavender Seashell Soap
- Dozy Girl Tea
- An Unwind Lip Balm
- A 'Beauty Sleep' Facial Steam
All the self-care products featured in our Mini Sleep Care Package can be used together. For example, when you get in from your day, you can enjoy an aromatherapy shower infused with lavender and chamomile essential oils, with the shower steamer and lavender seashell soap. You can then follow with a facial steam: just fill the sink with hot water, add the salts, drape a towel over the back of your head, and breathe in the soothing aromas. Your skin will not only feel and look amazing, but the essential oils will also help make you feel ready for bed. Sip on a cup of Dozy Girl Tea while reading your book or journaling, and pop on some nourishing lip balm. You’ll be straight to sleep the second your head hits the pillow.
The Mini Energising Care Package
Our Energising Self-Care Package is perfect for kick-starting your day with a burst of energy. This pamper kit, includes:
- A mini 'Italian Summer' Soap on a Rope
- Energising herbal tea
- A Mini Dark Chocolate Bar
- A ‘Revive Lip’ Balm
- A ‘Rough Night’ Facial Steam
After getting out for a morning walk, enjoy these self-care products while sipping on your morning coffee or cup of energising tea. Start with a refreshing shower and use the Italian Summer soap-on-a-rope, followed by the invigorating facial steam and refreshing lip balm. Then, take the day as it comes with your favourite book.

Tips for Recharging on Holiday
Taking some time for self-care when you're away, or if you’re like me, imagining you're on a mini health retreat, can be a lot of fun and allows you to get really creative with it. Alongside using the products from the mini care package, here are some top tips:
- Get Journaling: When you are away, you step outside your usual day-to-day routine and can gain some clarity. We have lots of journal prompts if you're new to journaling.
- Read a Good Book: When you're away, there are no distractions. Take the luxury of a day where your only focus is to read a book.
- Bring Your Yoga Mat: If you're travelling by car, make yoga part of your morning and evening routine.
- Do a Phone Detox: You will come back with so much mental clarity. If you constantly find yourself checking your phone, a detox will help reset this habit and help you evaluate your phone use.
Our mini pamper care packages are the perfect addition to any getaway, providing the luxury and convenience of a spa in the comfort of your travel accommodation. Whether you choose the Sleep Care Package or the Energising Self-Care Package, you’ll have everything you need to create a relaxing self-care experience.
