clean happy : shower gift

Full disclosure: when it comes to cleaning, I am terribly, hopelessly unmotivated.  Pre-G, my household tidy factor was at least okay, but in the last 3 years it has steadily fallen.  So often, when perusing the shelves at Target, I lust for pretty cleaning products with fancy colors, wonderful smells, and exceptionally-designed labels...Of course they also are all eco-friendly, locally made and horribly expensive.  If I bought them all, I wonder if my house would be a significantly better place.  And then I pass, because common sense gets the better of me, and after all, baking soda and vinegar are awesome.

But I'd always wanted to put such fun things in a gift basket, because perhaps I'm not the only one who needs beautiful things with which to clean her home.  So I did.  And here is the finished product:

I gifted this little bucket-o-goodies together to my co-worker and friend, Lindsay, who is getting married next weekend.  Sometimes I am naughty and get tired of digging through registries to find something to give that still feels personal. Since Linds and her fiance also just closed on their first house, I thought it would be fun to bundle a shower + housewarming gift all into one.
