simply charming

We are often inspired by how people combine different things at Timeless Treasures to come up with a unique gift. On Tuesday, Joyce Lee dropped by to get a wedding card, and stayed long enough to begin her holiday shopping.

She chose small vintage trays made of papier mache in different patterns, and added bars and cakes of luscious French shea butter soap and hand creme from L'Epi de Provence. The bath treats are perfect for her friends who love nothing better than a long soak in a warm tub, Joyce says, and the trays will be pretty on a dresser or desk. We like the simplicity and thoughtfulness of this no-two-gifts-exactly-alike idea.
