It’s been a while since I featured a kit… So I was very excited when an opportunity came to make one. I believe that I shared my love for kits already in previous posts, but I really do think that a kit is a great way to personalize a gift. The nice thing about this particular kit is that everything in it is bought; therefore you don’t need any crafting skills in order to create it.

The occasion:

My niece had her 12th birthday yesterday, which is called a Bat Mitzvah (in Hebrew), and is the Jewish coming of age (The age for boys is 13 and is called a Bar Mitzvah). Since the Bat Mitzvah party (which is a big deal in Israel, sort of like a sweet 16), got delayed due to a knee injury my niece had, my mother wanted to make my her granddaughter happy on her special day. She came up with the idea to send her a beauty kit and since she is still too young to start wearing makeup, we decided to mix and match some beauty products that would make her feel pampered.1. Wicker basket 2. Lip gloss 3. Mirror and brush 4. Heart Shaped Bath Bomb 5. Glittering Body Powder 6. Eye Mask 7. Perfumed Oil 8. Bubble Bath

We found a great “Girls Beauty Line” at Laline and hand picked the items into a lovely wicker basket. Since my niece was away, we left the basket on her bed, so she will have a nice surprise when she returned. As a grwon women, I was given similar gifts along the years… And although I know this isn;t the most original gift, sometimes, the most simple idea is the best one. Besides, since it was given to a 12 years old, I was able to use the fun, pink and girly factor and also use some glitter, glitter always upgrades a gift.
