This year, since we are broke, i am making gifts for people...here is what I have so far:
Holiday bathsalts
Sugar Scrub
Slave
Glass ornaments
anyone have any ideas of something easy and cheap i can make for the guys? I'm also looking for a reputable web site i can buy some essential oils to put in my salts and scrubs...
Take a look at the jar mixes Lisa posted under Terri's What to give post. Those are pretty inexpensive to make and are nice gifts.
If you giving some thing to a friend or family member with small children - if you don't already do it, you could give them a coupon for a free night of babysitting. Or some other chore you feel capable of doing - or your DH is capable and willing to do.
The thing with making homemade bath products is that if you dont use something to prohibit growth of bacteria they go bad very quickly. Tea tree oil is the easiest thing to use to do this but it doesnt last that long either, and it stinks like crazy. But it is very good for the skin. What kind of products would you like to make? Milk bath is easy and you can get most of the products at the grocery store. Bath bombs as well. Room Sprays are pretty easy as well and once again you can buy alot of the supplies at the grocery store....check out my website and see if there is a product there you are interested in, I can then post the recipies I use to make them. http://www.sudsnmore.com
