For the Hair and Nails

Some people say a woman's beauty is all in her hair. Whether long or short, healthy hair really does help the bride radiate a natural beauty. Your nails are another part of your body that could use some TLC before the big day - and, let's face it, do you really need an excuse to give yourself a manicure? These spa day at home ideas will help you keep your hair and nails healthy and lovely. The bridesmaids are sure to go gaga over all of these affordable DIY products, because, believe it or not, they want to look beautiful for your wedding, too!

Take these different packaging ideas to put a little bit of everything in so each of your best gals can have her own spa day at home. Nothing makes a better bridal party gift for the bridesmaids than a basket, bag, or even a jar full of things that she can use to pamper herself. Sure, this day isn't about them, but they want to look good in your wedding photos, and they'll be so touched by these thoughtful DIY gifts. Everyone could use a spa day at home!
