Handmade holiday gifts can be the most wonderful gifts to give. Start simple by creating a beautiful aromatic bath salt. The ingredients you will need I am sure you will find in both your kitchen and bathroom cabinets.Ingredients and measurements: 1 cup sea salt, 2 cups epsom salt, 1/3 cup baking soda, 1 tablespoon dendritic salt (to increase and retain aroma), 1/2 teaspoon almond, sunflower, or soybean oil, 1 tablespoon of desired fragrance oil. In a medium size glass bowl mix the sea & epsom salts, baking soda, and the oil. In a small glass bowl mix the dendritic salt and fragrance oil - stir well. Combine all ingredients and package as you desire. This may be used for 1 bath or to make a couple sample size pieces. To package your bath salts put in a zip lock bag and then place either in a muslin or organza bag. To be more creative you may also use a glass jar and layer the bath salt using herbs and or flowers. Attach a scoop, ribbons and a hang tag - let your creativity flow. Happy Holidays!

This one is probably one of the more easier gifts you can make at home especially for those who like to give out stuff that they made themselves for a more personal touch. Bath salt recipes can be found all over the net, so doing the same recipe shouldn't be a problem. Although the procedures in making the actual bath salt is quite easy and can be done by anyone, the main concern (for me) is actually making its container look good. I mean, you gotta show some effort in that department and being creative is definitely a plus in that area. The more inviting the container is, the more happy will be those that will receive it.
Brylle,
Thank you for your comment and I do agree with the efforts of making the package look beautiful. I hope that you found this recipe simple yet beautiful. Wendy Goudie
