Before ordering the Handmade Pampering Stress Relief Lavender Spa Gift Box for my wife's birthday, I emailed them and asked if there were any Parabens in their products. They responded in ten minutes and assured me there were none, and that they use all natural ingredients. My wife is highly allergic to Parabens. So this was a relief since she loves lavender, and I knew she would enjoy this gift. Which she is by the way! The gift set came in a very nice box and was very well packaged. The next time I am in the market for a thoughtful gift for a female I will definitely take a look at Sand and Sea.
