AHHH! It's officially December and you have a few more gifts you need. Want to save some money, give some awesome gifts and not have to spend lot of time on them? Well, you came to the right blog post! I have 3 awesome gifts that almost anyone would enjoy and they take hardly any time and money to make as well! Plus, they are gifts that can be used so great for those teachers or co-workers who may get lost of stuff that they need to find a place for. Instead these are gifts that can be used up after a period of time.
First: Bath salt mix
What a great relaxing gift to give to someone. This is my favorite way to unwind at the end of the week, taking a salt bath. What better than to give someone a way to help them make time for their own self-care.
1/2 Cup of Epson salt
1/4 Cup of Baking soda
1/4 Cup of Sea salt or course salt
This will make about 1 jelly sized jar. I usually make 4 batches and get 4 jelly jars. Super easy to make and doesn't take much time either! Plus, if you put it in a jelly jar the jar is decorative enough in itself! So, double points!
Second: Hot coco-mix:
Who doesn't like hot-coco? Okay, I know some people don't...BUT, most do. And what a fun gift to get at Christmas! Plus it's a gift that can be used up! This is great for teachers, co-workers, family, really anyone who enjoys hot-coco!
I've been using this recipe from Eating on a Dime. We have liked it and it's really easy to make. Now the only thing I do different is I don't add the salt, but that's just a preference thing. But this recipe is super easy and all you need is a mason jar to add it to! We like to use mason jars for our gifts, but if you are wanting to send this to school as teacher gift they make plastic jars now too! These are a perfect option for sending your little to school with a gift for teacher.
Or we recently made these gifts for our mail carriers. Just use a party bag; add some marshmallows, a cute wooden spoon and a fun tag! This would also be a great way to give this git to your student's teacher!
Third: Lotion bars
Lotion bars are a fun gift that can be used for almost anyone. You can use a mini muffin tin for the molds. We also bought these for crayon melting and they can work for lotion bars too! I liked these ones because the pack came with different shaped molds so you can use them for different events. But, back to lotion bars. They are easy and quick to make.
Equal parts beeswax pellets & Organic coconut oil
double boiler or a smaller pot and larger pot
essential ils (optional)
Melt both in a double boiler, or if you don't have a double boiler you can use a smaller pot inside a larger pot of water. If you want you can add essential oils as well. Once the coconut oil and beeswax has melted remove from heat and add the essential oils you'd like. Pour the mixture into the molds. Put in the fridge to Harden. After about 20-30 min you can pop them out and they re ready to gift!
Pair both the lotion bars and the salt mix for an extra special gift!!
