    Homemade DIY Gifts: 21 Natural Bath and Beauty Recipes

    I’m getting a jump start on fun DIY natural bath and beauty products this year and know that savvy gifters have been on the prowl for the same thing for about a month now! I often fall behind getting ready for the holidays, forgetting some needed gifts until the last minute. The great news is these natural products can be made in one sitting, often with ingredients you already have in your pantry!

    Jump to:
    • Scrubs for the Body and Face
    • For the Bath
    • For the Body
    • For the Face

    I think almost everyone appreciates a natural product for the bath or body and there are so many creative options available. The great thing about them is they are made with whole, healthy ingredients, and are usually quite affordable and easy to make. Favorite scents can be added into moisturizing scrubs. Therapeutic bath additives can be created with muscle-soaking salts. Essential oils can be a great pick-me-up for tired holiday shoppers, or relaxing when one’s schedule doesn’t allow enough down time.

    Fun containers make gifts all the more special too. Craft stores have a variety of options to choose from. This year I noticed an entire section devoted to accoutrement for Mason jars; gemstone studded lids, decorative lid inserts, colored jars and fun labels. Creating natural bath products can be a great thing to do with a group of friends. Think cookie bake-a-thons only for  bath and beauty products. In one session you could put together an entire assortment of gifts to make holiday baskets for loved ones! If you are like me you’ll want to keep a few for your own use too!
