DIY Gifts Homemade gifts everyone will love
simple, natural, and sustainable with homemade, natural and DIY gifts (and a few select wooden toys for the kids that will ‘hopefully’ last for generations). There are so many great options for DIY homemade gifts, and I hope that others will consider joining me in gift giving this way… Here’s a few of my favorite homemade gift ideas and some suggestions for some simple gift baskets.
DIY Beauty Gift Ideas & Recipes Healing Lip Salve • Tinted Lip Balm • Homemade Lip Stick Luxurious Sugar Scrub • Natural Shimmer Lip Balm • Beach Waves Natural Hair Spray Natural Baby Care (baby powder, diaper cream, lotion, etc) Lotion Bars (all natural, easy to make and amazing for skin!) • Luxurious Lotion Whipped Body Butter (like Velvet on the skin) • Lavender & Mint Bath Salts Shea Butter Lotion Bar Sticks • Magnesium Body Butter • Salt Bath Fizzies
DIY Health Related Gift Ideas & Recipes Homemade Magnesium Oil (great for improving sleep, energy, hormones and more) Herbal Tea Blends (delicious and health boosting) Healing Clays (for masks, internal and more) Coconut Oil (because there are 100+ ways to use it!) Homemade Tooth Powder (helps sensitive teeth) DIY Remineralizing Toothpaste • All Natural Vapor Rub Homemade Healing Salve (like Neosporin ™ but natural) Or, if you are really motivated, you could put together an entire Herbal First Aid and Natural Remedy Kit.
DIY Edible Gift Ideas 14 Homemade Herb and Spice Blends • Healthy Delicious Chocolate Homemade Marshmallows • Coconut Cream Recipe Healthy Chocolate Truffles • Himalayan Salt • Kombucha Starter & Instructions • Water Kefir & Instructions
DIY Other DIY Fleece backed T-Shirt Quilt (one of my husbands favorite gifts I’ve ever given him) Homemade Buckwheat Pillow or Eye Mask (Just sew a simple rectangle of whatever fabric you’d like filled with some organic buckwheat hulls to make a natural pillow that doesn’t hold body heat and that keeps its shape! You can also add herbs like lavender flowers, yarrow, mint, chamomile and catnip for the gentle scent of herbs to help improve sleep.)

Natural Beauty Basket: An assortment of Healing Lip Salve, Tinted Lip Balm, Homemade Lip Stick, Luxurious Sugar Scrub, Beach Waves Natural Hair Spray, Homemade Dry Shampoo, Lotion Bars, Luxurious Lotion, Whipped Body Butter and Homemade Deodorant Bars.
