Take a break & eat this cake.
With ( this lotion, book, newspaper, fill blank with whatever is in your mm) relax to the max.
Stop running the marathon,
Your comfy clothes do don,
Enjoy the Purim day,
With its fun all the way,
Before its gone & away,
For it is not here to stay.
If it's too busy & you are getting dizzy,
Take a moment to drink your coffee
And just let yourself be.
The day will then pass,
you will finally hit your bed at last!
In meantime, take it with ease,
You & Hashem are the only ones you need to please!
Lighten up, dance to the beat,
Spring up to your feet!
It will make you feel better,
If you follow my advice to the letter!

You can put in marshmallow for cotton balls. Colored Choco molds for soaps. Edible small pearls. CRaisins or terra chips in sachet as potpourri
Maybe she's just setting up a nice gift for self care like a diffuser, scented pillows/envelopes a lotion or perfume with the standard nice additions like some truffles or box of wafer rolls set up. ( like for a therapist)

If its with lotion for someone you would like to thank you can write stuff like:
You smothered us with love. You lathered us with your warmth.
For potpourri. You were Heaven-"scent".
We benefitted from your potpourri of techniques.
For diffuser: You diffused your positivity in the air. You created a sweet-smelling atmosphere.

With your "silken smooth touch", we felt "enveloped" in your warmth or care.

You can also write something like since you pamper us with your love & care all the the time, now you can pamper yourself & take time off for self care.

Someone sent last year a gorgeous 'self care' kit. They had some sort of facial kit, small glass bottle with mini chocolate balls, a biscuit decorated to look like a mask, and I can't remember if there was anything else in. It was all beautifully packaged in a box. I think it had fake spa name etc on, eg From the Levy Spa

After dinner mints in different shapes for bath bombs

marshmallow cream for lotion. maybe you can put it into a mini glass mason jar

colored sugar crystals for bath salt

yellow jello in a covered plastic decanter like vase style with thin pretzel rods at side for diffuser.

see other ideas I mention last year.

Choco for treat


You can pair with costume of hairdresser, sheitelmacher, make up artist, any salon/spa personnel.

what is a person supposed to do with a little jar full of marshmallow cream?
if you want to give a self care package because you want the person to actually- well you know- self care- then give an actual bottle of lotion. If you want to give food so they can self care - then give chocolate coffe, danishes- give actual food. but to put a whole bunch of useless little edible things that look like lotions and cotton balls and soap to be cute, is basically defeating the purpose of a self care MM.
not to discount the ideas here. they really do sound adorable and are great ideas. but defeats the whole purpose of a self care MM.

I dont know what the OP has in mind. You are right you can put high quality chocos, fancy tea bag set, high quality different flavors coffee or wine.
You can add in, newspaper, new book, CD, headphones, sudoko/crossword puzzle book, mini perfume, 2 color washcloth rolled into a cupcake holder or jelly roll. backscratcher, foam net flowers to wash.

Last year I gave a lotion set to the therapists, volunteers, teachers a sweet lotion set, wrapped up very sweetly, with a bar chocolate, in cellophane paper, which was wrapped in (scrapbooking paper) same color as the lotion set.
I bought the lotion sets in family dollar for cheap (when on sale).
I Placed all items separately (not in a package), and designed it beautifully...
I wrote a sweet little poem which I have packed away. Whoever wants the poem, please PM me.
The poem is a Thank you letter.

I know my friends are quite busy I’d say
Cooking and cleaning half of the day
Some have jobs that take loads of time
No moments for themselves ,it’s really a crime
I worried, I wondered,what could I do
I wanted to help them ,my intentions were true
But if I could, should I offer to cook?
I sought out advice from a self help book
I read what I could deep into the night
Wondering what advise wouldn’t be trite
I pondered after reading an hour or two
Till I came up with a solution that would just have to do
You see my friends are all exceptionally bright
Each of them an inspiring light
But each of them knows that in order to survive
She’ll have to find time for her self to properly thrive
So I am wishing each of you some moments in the day
To Pamper yourself in any which way.
