The self care boxes are £28, and there are three to choose from - Sleep, Spa and Wellness.

She said: "One of my stockists up in Edinburgh (@centurygeneralstore) came up with this idea of 'Care Packages’ once his physical shop had to close down, he has been sending out loads of packages, with my products included, bringing sunshine and happiness to many people who are currently overworked and exhausted right now.

"It made sense that I do something similar this side of the border.

"It’s a really lovely way for members of the public to be involved, whatever their current financial limits may be, enabling them to do their bit for the NHS and all the amazing key workers out there doing their bit to keep the country running."

This how it works is:

"You can do a straight purchase," explained Pip. "If you know someone who deserves a Self Care Package you can purchase a £28 bundle - just send your friend's name & address (choose a box, SLEEP, WELLNESS OR SPA ) and we will post out a much needed treat to them, including your personalised message.

"You can gift it forward, if you don't know a specific something but would love to help, you can donate to our 'Gift It Forward’ Kindness Package.

"You donate any amount that you can, and it will be put it into a 'Care Package Pot'. All of this money will then be used to send out Self Care Packages to nominated people across the UK. We will of course let you know who’s package you have helped curate.

"Or you can nominate someone special which is free. If you would like to send a care package to someone you know but can't afford to, or if you know several key workers, you can nominate them. Just send us their details. Once we have both donations and recipients, we will match them up and post them out a Self Care Package."
