I'm pretty disorganised when it comes to gift-giving. It's not that I don't like to give gifts, I love that, I'm just think I'm pretty rubbish at thinking of a good gift to give.
Anyway, this year, I decided to try and make as many of my Christmas gifts as possible.
Having purchased Erin's Hand and Foot Scrub ebook, I was definitely planning on making some of the recipes as gifts. I wasn't sure which of her recipes to use, and used them as blueprints for coming up with scrubs using what I already had at home. In this case it included limes, lemons and peppermint and strawberry essences. I was so excited to get going!
Here are some photos of the process.
The ingredients
Ingredients close up!
The Lime Slushy mix
The strawberry mix (this looks kinda gross at this stage)
Less gross here...kinda like sorbet really
Lime Slushy completed and in its jar!
I added rose petals to make the strawberry mix a l'il prettier.
I've already started to gift these and I'm so excited! My friends are a little confused when I tell them "Keep it in the fridge, and don't eat it!" but hopefully they'll enjoy their gifts anyhow!
Have you been making any gifts this year? I have another craft post next and this week's A Stirring Song post!
