Gardener’s Gift Set

Dirt Under the Nails

You know a gardener when you see one. They're the ones with perpetually dirty fingernails from March through October, who smell faintly of tomato plants, who track potting soil through the kitchen and don't even notice. This set is for them.

Six products that understand what gardening does to your skin. A body scrub with actual exfoliating power (because soap alone doesn't cut it after a day in the dirt). Body butter that sinks in deep, not the kind that sits on top. Oil that absorbs before you put your clothes back on. Bar soap with sea salt and black clay that gets into the creases of your hands. Lip scrub and balm for lips that crack from forgetting to drink water while weeding.

People buy this for the gardener in their life, then sneak into the bathroom to try the body butter themselves. It's the set that makes sense for anyone who spends actual time outside, not just thinking about spending time outside.

The cosmetic bag—designed by Kara with original artwork—holds everything together, then holds seed packets and hand tools after you've moved the products to your shower shelf.

Any-night Self-Care Plan

1. Start in the shower with the bar soap—sea salt and black clay get into calluses and cuticles. While skin is still damp, use the body scrub on elbows, knees, heels, anywhere that's rough. Rinse.
2. Pat dry (don't rub completely dry). Apply body oil first—it absorbs in about a minute. Then layer body butter over the driest spots: hands, elbows, feet. It sinks in without leaving your hands too slippery to open the bedroom door.
3. Lip scrub once or twice a week, lip balm daily. Keep the balm in your gardening apron pocket or wherever you stash your hand tools.

The cosmetic bag lives on your bathroom counter until you've used everything inside. Then it moves to the mud room, car trunk, or garden shed—wherever you need to organize the small stuff that always ends up everywhere.

Why Choose the Gardener’s Set?

• Made for Weathered Skin: Gardening is rough on hands, arms, faces. This isn't maintenance skincare—it's repair. Body butter for sun-dried skin, scrub for dirt that worked its way into pores, oil for skin that forgot what moisture feels like.
• Small Batch in Owings Mills: We make every product by hand in our Maryland facility. Every batch of body butter gets tested on our own hands (and elbows, and knees). Every bar of soap gets checked before it goes in the bag.
• Artist-Designed Bag: Kara designed the original artwork for the cosmetic bag. It's functional storage that doesn't look like everything else in your bathroom. People use it for travel, organizing drawers, keeping garden supplies together after the products move to the shower.
• Plant Cellulose Tube: Lip balm comes in 100% plastic-free, compostable packaging. Gardeners notice. People ask about it.
• Rose Garden Without Grandma's Perfume: Rose scent that smells like actual rose petals, not the powdery stuff from department store counters. Garden-hands approved.
