The cooler weather has finally arrived! This change of the season brings us colorful fall leaves, pumpkin patches, fresh apple pie, and of course Halloween and Thanksgiving. It’s my favorite time of the year. I just love sweater weather. The cooler weather also brings with it chapped lips and dry skin, but it’s a trade off I gladly make. To celebrate fall, I have put together a simple DIY fall care package for a friend which includes a couple of cool weather essentials from Burt’s Bees.
DIY Fall Care Package for a Friend
This care package is a simple and inexpensive way to thank someone for being a good friend. I included a couple of Burt’s Bees products that my friends will really appreciate and use. Practical gifts are the best, in my book. Print and use my gift tags for your own care packages.
I love Burt’s Bees products because I can trust the ingredients. Their products are 100% natural, and contain no parabens, phthalates or petrochemicals. I personally have been using Burt’s Bees lip balm daily for as long as I can remember. It contains ingredients like Beeswax, Vitamin E, Coconut Oil, and Peppermint that really help to protect and hydrate your lips – especially during these cooler months. I am excited to partner with Burt’s Bees for this sponsored post, and help them celebrate their 30th anniversary.
Materials:
Clear cookie bag (I used Wilton clear cookie bags that come with a silver foil board.)
Black ribbon
Small yellow silk flowers
Burt’s Bees Honey & Grapeseed Hand Cream from Walmart
Burt’s Bees Beeswax Lip Balm from Walmart
Printable gift tag (see below)
Directions: Place the Burt’s Bees hand cream and lip balm inside a clear cookie bag. Place a few silk flowers inside the bag. Use a bit of black curling ribbon to tie the top closed. Download and print the gift tag from my drop box. Cut out the tag, punch a hole and attach to the gift bag with a piece of black ribbon.
Download and Print for your own personal use.
I think this is such a fun way to thank someone for bee-ing a great friend. Â Will you be using Burt’s Bees products this fall?
Happy Fall Y’all!
