A totally eco birthday present!

My mum is so clever!

She knows I like a good eco-friendly present and a useful one!

The timing is also perfect! I had just finished my Lush Imperialis face cream and I bought a jar of handmade Carrot and Avocado cream in Northumberland so I will be needing a new face cream soon.
She made me a jar of natural facecream with Shea Butter, Cocnut oil, rose hip oil, Argan oil, vanilla, Sandal wood, geranium, Frankincense, Sea buckthorn and rose oils.  It smells beautiful.

But, as well, as being handmade and eco-friendly, the jar is actually a Georganics toothpaste jar I cleaned out and gave to her to reuse.  Furthermore, she made a little bag to put it in out of a Who Gives a Crap toilet wrapper, along with some gold gift ribbon she was given and some paper washi tape!
What an excellent present!
