With Christmas fast approaching, you’re probably running around like a headless chicken to complete your shopping list. While the holiday season brings a lot of joy and quality family time, it is also quite expensive. There are so many people to buy presents for!
Whether you are on a tight budget or you don’t feel like navigating a crowded mall, we’re happy to help. In this post, we’re sharing easy recipes for DIY bath products that you can gift to your friends, family, and coworkers. Take a look.
Coconut and Sugar Body Scrub
This simple scrub will leave your skin feeling soft and smelling delicious, thanks to essential oils. Here’s everything you need.
Ingredients (Makes 4)
2 cups coconut oil
1 cup granulated sugar
30-35 drops of essential oil of choice
4 glass jars
Labels (optional)
Instructions
- Pour the coconut oil, sugar, and essential oil into a large mixing bowl and stir to thoroughly combine.
- Store in fully sealed glass containers, away from direct sunlight.
- You can also add a label for a charming touch.
Chocolate Face Mask
Combining the goodness of decadent chocolates, oatmeal and honey, this face mask is delicious enough to eat (but we don’t recommend doing that!). With these readily available ingredients, you can make this mask in under 10 minutes.
Ingredients (Makes 4)
1 cup cocoa powder
6 tbsp oatmeal powder
8 honey sachets
4 small glass jars or any containers of choice
Labels and ribbons (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix together cocoa and oatmeal powder. If you can’t find oatmeal power, grind oatmeal in a blender or food processor till it reaches a fine consistency.
- Divide the mixture into four parts and transfer into glass containers.
- Use ribbons to tie together two honey sachets with each container. The recipient can mix in the honey when they want to apply the face mask.
- We recommend adding a label with the product name and application instructions. This face mask should be applied for 15-20 minutes and rinsed off with lukewarm water.
Lavender Bath Bombs
There are few things that come close to soaking in a warm bath after an exhausting day. You can elevate this relaxing time by creating this easy bath bomb.
Ingredients (Makes 6-10, depending on the size of the mold)
1 cup baking soda
1 cup citric acid
cup cornstarch
cup coconut or olive or baby oil
10 drops of lavender essential oil
Silicon or steel mold
Gloves
Plastic wrap
Tissue paper
Label (optional)
Instruction
- In a large bowl, mix together baking soda, citric acid, cornstarch, your oil of choice, and lavender essential oil.
- Mix the ingredients thoroughly until a soft dough is formed. If the mixture is too dry, then gradually add more oil to achieve a wet sand consistency. On the other hand, if it’s too wet, you can add more cornstarch or baking soda to get the right texture.
- We recommend wearing gloves before touching the mixture with your hands to avoid contamination. Use your hand to pack the mixture in the mold.
- Leave it aside to dry for at least 24 hours.
- Once the bath bombs have dried, carefully take them out of the mold.
- Next, pack individual bath bombs in plastic wrap followed by tissue paper.
- Add a label with the ingredient list.
- If you are planning to gift the bath bombs in a box, make sure to surround them with shredded paper or bubble wrap.
