Pamper Yourself
Make it all about you. Your vanity basket should hold some of the things that you enjoy. Of course, what makes you feel good may not be the same as what makes someone else feel good, but all the same, here are some suggestions:
Manicure Set
Whether you include all the tools needed for a complete manicure or just an emery board and clear nail polish – these items might come in handy.
Secret Delights
Everyone has a favorite candy, gum, or other special treat that they enjoy. Why not add a ‘secret delight’ to your basket?
Something To Do
Do you enjoy Sudoku or crossword puzzles? Perhaps a book or magazine is more to your liking. Whatever your preference may be, it’s a great idea to save space in your basket for something that can exercise your mind while you relax. You may also want to keep a pair of reading glasses in the basket.
Soothing To The Touch
A great lotion or skin cream can be a perfect addition to your vanity basket. Another wonderful item to have on hand is lip balm. Remember – this is all about making you feel good.
Writing Supplies
Whether you keep a daily journal or you just like to jot down notes and ideas – you will probably appreciate having writing supplies readily available.
The idea is to create a basket that holds a supply of things that help you feel good – things that are yours and yours alone. Keep your vanity basket in a handy place – such as next to your bed or your favorite chair. Your basket is sure to become one of your favorite ‘must haves’.
