Mother’s Day Gift Ideas: Vegan Friendly Travel Treats by Pacifica
Pacifica products are rad. You can usually find some of their body butters, candles, or fragrances at your local Whole Foods markets and other fine establishments. The prices range anywhere from $2 to $32 so when I found a few travel sets for a mere $14, I was surprised at the sweet deal. A little history on these fabulously packaged goods: Pacifica was founded in 1996 by a young surf couple Brook and Billy Taylor. Inspired by nature and the ocean they spent so much time in, Brook began concocting her own fine fragrances with natural oils and ingredients and put them into candles. Needless to say they were a hit and twelve years later, Pacifica is a thriving little company with excellent products that they stand behind. The packaging (made with recyclable content) is eye-catching to say the least, using bold and bright patterns and colors, they are inspired by multiple elements including surfing, sunshine, travel, romance, history, world cultures, art, kids, and flowers. The products are made with natural ingredients, essential oils, consumer safe, sustainable raw materials. The company itself has high standards for quality, fairness, safety, sustainability, and anti-cruelty–no animal ingredients are used so it would be safe to call this company vegan friendly.
I have tried several of Pacifica’s products including their solid fragrance, soap, candles and body butter. The Mediterranean Fig and Tibetan Mountain Temple fragrances are among my favorites. This past winter while shopping for Christmas gifts, I picked up a jar of the Winter Solstice Body Butter that smelled of lavender, bergamot, and cardamom. I loved this stuff! It was smooth and incredibly moisturizing, not greasy like many body butters out there. I wore it all winter long and always received compliments on how great I smelled which leads me to the conclusion that when a company can perfect a body butter, you know their doing something right.
I’m planning on picking up a few of these Pacifica travel sets soon…they will make for perfect Mother’s Day gifts ringing in a great price, $14 sephora.com. I like the Tuscan Blood Orange, but it’s the Lotus Garden that is the newest scent addition to the family, smelling of lotus blossom, cassis, green violet leaf and pink pepper. Packaged neatly in a beautiful box, the set comes with a soy candle, body butter, a solid fragrance and some matches. Mom will love it!
