Uklesana kutija od drva manga sa cvjetnim uzorkom za 24 boce ulja

You go looking for one bottle at the end of a long day and it is never where you left it: a drawer, a basket, the bottom of a bag. This is where the oils stop moving. A carved mango wood box with twenty-four compartments, each sized for a 10 ml bottle, so the whole collection stands in front of you when you lift the lid and you can read the caps instead of hunting for them.

Symbolism

The mango tree is one of the auspicious trees of India: its leaves are strung over doorways at weddings and festivals, and the tree is traditionally associated with abundance, love and hospitality. Keeping the tools of a practice in one considered container is a small ritual of its own, since the box is the part you touch first, before anything is opened or blended.

How to use

• It takes bottles up to about 65 mm tall and about 25 mm across, which covers most 10 ml essential oil, blend and fragrance oil bottles.
• Fill it with your own selection to build a kit, or to make up a gift set for someone who is starting one.
• Wipe spills straight away, as oils can mark bare wood.
• Dust with a soft, dry cloth and keep the box away from radiators and damp.
