Think outside the vase at bath junkie

Believe it or not, May is one of the busiest gift-giving times of the year. Between Mother’s Day, high school and college graduations, and birthdays, this is a month that definitely calls for some thought and some gift-giving originality.

But this time around, don’t rely on the usual gift suspects, such as the traditional vase of flowers on Mother’s Day. Instead, visit bath junkie at Turkey Creek, where they pride themselves on helping shoppers think outside the vase when it comes to finding an ideal gift for any occasion.

“Make your gift giving easy with one of our Fill’er Up gift sets. It’s the gift that’s always perfect,” says store co-owner and manager Amber Roggeman.

Shoppers simply purchase empty containers for bath junkie’s unique products, allowing the recipient to come in and customize each container by choosing her (or his) favorite products, fragrances and colors.

“Everything is already paid for, so you’re giving not just a gift but an experience,” Roggeman says. “The person just needs to come in and experience bath junkie’s personalized service.”

She adds that many gift recipients enjoy coming in as a group—bringing a mother, daughter, sister or friend along, for example—and sharing the process of creating their own special customized products.

Of course, even if the people on your gift list don’t get that good ol’ vase of flowers, they can still enjoy memorable aromas by choosing from among bath junkie’s hundreds of different fragrances. The fragrance of the month for May is Sweet Magnolia.

“You can combine that with Breeze and Sweet Rain to create the perfect spring fragrance,” suggests co-owner Jill Thompson. “It’s like picking a bouquet from our fragrance garden that will never wilt.”
