Whether back to school time is something to look forward to or something to dread, it is definitely already upon us.  So what could be a better way to start off the year than with a lovely little beauty gift basket to pamper your favorite student?  A back to school gift basket would be the perfect pick-me-up for your daughter or friend, or a great way to get off on the right foot with a new roommate!  To create a gift basket, simply fill a shower caddy with universal necessities such as face wash, shampoo, conditioner, razors, body wash, and treatment masks, along with other goodies, and tie it up with cellophane and a pretty bow.  And don’t forget the shower sandals for those who are dorm-bound!  Here are a few of our favorite basket goodies:

Clearasil StayClear Daily Face Wash – Keeps those stress breakouts at bay.
philosophy 3-in-1 – Body wash scented like mom’s cookies always brightens moods.
Schick Intuition Plus – Makes it impossible to forget to bring the shaving cream.
Veet Hair Removal Gel Cream – For when they are too tired to handle sharp objects.
DERMAdoctor KP duty Scrub -  A mini-chemical peel to boost skin confidence.
jane irdale Truely Pure Shampoo – Keeps hair and brushes SLS and paraben free.
PCA Skin Purifying Mask – We’re guessing there are a lot of toxins at frat parties.
Old Navy Metallic Flip Flops – You don’t know what goes on in that shower.
Scunci Hair Ties - Somehow these walk off, so provide a big stack.
GoSmile Touch Ups – Because late nights mean a lot of coffee.
