Om Aroma™ & Co. Launches Eco-Gift Boutique

Om Aroma & Co.™, the West Village organic boutique spa, recently launched its new eco-gifts selection focusing on handpicked artisanal gifts for the woman “who has everything.”  In time for the holidays, Om Aroma has expanded its boutique to incorporate “green, good, and gorgeous” lifestyle gifts such as artisanal organic chocolates, handcrafted soaps, soy aromatherapy candles, eco-friendly journals, recycled cards, and yoga jewelry.

“We have noticed more and more people coming to our boutique spa and saying, ‘I wish I could take time to treat myself more,’” says founder Angela Jia Kim.

“We have moms with babies who need an hour of pampering; Wall Street men who need a quick 30-minute neck massage; and the busy career woman who breezes in after work for a facial to get ready for an upcoming reunion. Stress is at an all-time high, and we wanted to create holiday gifts that encouraged people to just take time for themselves.”

The result is an array of eco-gifts with organic creams, soy candles, and artisanal chocolates tucked into handmade banana-leaf baskets or luxe eco-boxes and wrapped in Om’s signature fuchsia bow.  Gift boxes are made from wild grasses and handcrafted by artisans in remote villages around the world creating jobs for hard-working communities

Om Aroma & Co. has created partnerships that center on locally produced, artisanal and organic gifts.  They aim to offer locally-made items and “gifts that give back.” All creams and serums are made in small batches in New York and most ingredients are purchased from organic farmers in the United States. “Bon Bon Soaps” are handcrafted in the United States, and when Happy Blankie is purchased, one blanket is donated to a child in need.

Om Aroma & Co. has garnered a cult-like following for its locally-produced organic skincare that uses luscious good-enough-to-eat ingredients such as Champagne, Caviar and Truffles for gorgeous and glowing skin.  Since opening its first boutique spa in New York’s West Village in May 2011, Aroma & Co. has been offering organic facials that included pumpkin enzymes, cherry peels, and red raspberry serums.  Popular holiday gift baskets include The Take Time Gift Basket, The Om Yoga Lover’s Gift, and The Gorgeous Goddess Kit.

All gifts are available at the boutique or online at www.omaroma.com.

About Om Aroma & Co.™

Om Aroma & Co.™ is an organic skincare brand, organic spa and lifestyle gift boutique located in New York City’s West Village. The skincare products are locally produced and are free of parabens, formaldehyde, mineral oil, synthetic fragrances and dyes. Founder Angela Jia Kim was inspired to create the line when, as a touring professional concert pianist, she experienced a bad reaction to a “natural” lotion she applied pre-concert. Om Aroma is the first company of its kind to connect fully the purest organic ingredients with the highest level of luxury.

The organic spa collection can also be found in five-star luxury resorts, spas, and at the flagship boutique at 327 West 11^th Street in New York City.
