Luxurious DIY Gifts – Homemade Beauty Products

What I love about the gift of homemade beauty products – like scrubs, balms and bath soaks – is that you are inviting the recipient to pamper themselves! Tell me who wouldn’t love that excuse?!!

Package up beauty gifts in beautiful jars or gift bags. Include a wooden spoon or wood scoop if that makes sense. Homemade natural beauty gifts are so special and indulgent – they are always a hit!

Unique DIY Gifts for the Home

Eco-friendly, reusable gifts are some of my favorite gifts to give. They are super practical and can be used over and over again, but they are still special because they are handmade.

These DIY’s may take a little more time than the food or beauty gifts – but are totally worth it for an extra special gift!

Food gifts are the BEST because everyone eats! I don’t know anyone who wouldn’t be thrilled to get a bag of homemade granola or spiced nuts, or a jar of specialty nut butter or a homemade spice blend.

Package up homemade food gifts in cellophane bags or glass jars with ribbon and a food gift tag or sticker. Consider including the recipe so they can make the item for themselves. Homemade food gifts look impressive and taste delicious – a double win!
