Huckleberry Make Your Own Perfume
£14.50
The idea of wandering around the garden, picking flowers by smell, and turning them into an actual bottled perfume with a label you designed yourself is, frankly, a brilliant one at any age. This set gives children everything they need to do exactly that: a mesh bag for collecting and steeping the flowers, sticker labels to name the creation, and a beautiful little refillable glass bottle to keep it in. The kind of activity that starts outside in the garden and ends with a small person presenting you with a gift they made, which is one of the better moments in parenting.
We love it because:
- A complete set with everything needed: mesh collection bag, sticker labels and a refillable glass bottle.
- The process is as lovely as the result: collecting, steeping, bottling, labelling, gifting.
- The refillable bottle means it can be used again and again with different flowers and different seasons.
- Sticker labels to personalise the bottle make it feel like a proper product, which children take very seriously indeed.
- A genuinely different activity that takes children outside, slows them down and connects them with natural scents in a really lovely way.
- Makes a beautiful gift in its own right, and an even better one when the child gives the finished perfume to someone they love.
