Stretched a bit thin this holiday season? Try spreading some cheer by making gifts for your loved ones.
1) Sugar Scrub
Use whatever oil you have on hand (olive, coconut, etc) to make a deliciously exfoliating scrub. Make a large batch and divide into mason jars for a nice finishing touch.
2) Lipstick
Use an empty mini altoid tin or a sanitized lip balm tube to house a wonderful lipstick made from crayons(!) and coconut (or other) oil. Perfect for those on your list with aversions to chemicals and other irritants.
3. Fancy Shampoo, Conditioner, Lotion, etc
Buy a large bottle of your favorite generic, unscented beauty product, add essential oils and/or other ingredients to spice it up (like moisturizing oils, fragrances, etc) and pour into a cute container (like a mason jar or a dollar store tin) and voila! A perfect, customized gift without all the mixing and matching hassle.
