Enjoy nature's beauty with your friends at a Sachet Party!
Sachets are little cloth pouches full of fragrant herbs. Many cultures have centuries old traditions of stuffing, wearing, and using them for health, self expression, and more. Sachets make wonderful gifts and keepsakes. The process of selecting the herbs and stuffing the little bags is soothing, nourishing, and fun.
I offer a mobile "Sachet Café" for your gathering or event in the San Jose area. Materials are set up buffet style. Participants select which herbs they want, and then can socialize and relax while they assemble their sachets. This is a great activity for a bridal or baby shower, a birthday party, or for workplace or corporate team building! Your guests will learn about nature, have a good time, and come out with a lovely and useful keepsake or gift.

Engage your senses
The joy of sachets is in the materials. I offer a wide variety of sustainably sourced herbs, flowers, seed pods, and other beautiful and aromatic materials to play with. Whether it is lemon balm from my home garden, or rose petals from an organic family farm in India, every ingredient is carefully gathered to create an exquisite palette of colors, scents, and textures - without harm to the natural world that we love.
Every plant has a story, and all plants are potentially beneficial. Lavender is associated with stress reduction and restorative sleep. Eucalyptus clears sinuses, energizes, and uplifts. In some folklores, Rosemary is associated with remembrance, and with protection.
Your sachet party or kit will include educational snippets about each ingredient. Read on below for a sample of our most popular offerings.
