We were convinced the goody bag had gone the way of cheap credit, but we were wrong.

Five ounces of Concentrated Balancing Softener: $90

4.7 ounces of Extra Rich Cleansing Foam (that’s face wash, if you forgot): $55

1.8 ounces of Daytime Protective Cream SPF 15: $240

1.7 ounces of the Total Regenerating Cream: $260

One custom wooden container: price N/A
