While the holidays are a delightful time of year, many are frantically looking for unique DIY Christmas gift ideas for their loved ones. If you still don't know what to make, then I've got your back! Create useful homemade gifts by making a lovely DIY room spray and a concoction of luscious bath salts.
This is an inexpensive yet unique way to spoil your loved ones this Christmas. Let’s get started.
Tools and materials:
- Glassware or storage jars
- Epsom salts
- Essential oils (any that you like)
- Bowls
- Measuring utensils
- Spray bottle
1. How to make your own bath salts
Pour one cup of Epsom salts into a bowl
Add 10 drops of essential oil. I used citrus as it reminds me of Christmas time!
Then, mix the salts, so the oil is distributed.
Add half a cup of Epsom salts to another bowl. Then, add another essential oil to the mix. This time, I used cranberries!
I want to make a candy cane out of these awesome bath salts in honor of the holiday season. So, add a few drops of food coloring, and then, mix.
If you don't have a funnel, roll a piece of paper to make one. Then, fill your jars with bath salts. I’m doing this in layers; first the white bath salts, and then a layer of red bath salts.
Keep on going until you have something like this.
Next, I’m making another jar of bath salts, adding cinnamon essential oil and yellow food coloring.
Then, pour into your jar, and you have yourself an easy homemade gift!
2. How to make DIY room spray
Get yourself a clean spray bottle.
Fill the bottle with distilled water.
Then, add your favorite essential oils or fragrance oils.
Next, add some food coloring.
3. Add labels for a personal touch
Now it’s time to get a little creative. I got some plain white labels and wrote the fragrance types and/or essential oils. I drew a cute little wreath-like structure and stuck these on my jars and bottle.
