Mother's Day Only 2 Weeks Away - Gift Ideas To Please The Senses!

A gift of beauty is a wonderful way to express your love and appreciation. Flowers, cards, jewelery, bath and body care, or a nice brunch to celebrate the day! Even let Mom have her day to celebrate the way in which she chooses.
A gift handmade is just as beautiful and easy to make. Here are a couple ideas that are sure please the senses!
Luxurious Aromatic Bath Salts: 2 lbs. Sea Salt, 1 lb. Epsom Salt, 1 oz carrier oil (almond or avocado), 3 oz's of dendritic salt, and 1 tablespoon fragrance oil of choice. Blend the sea and epsom salts, add the carrier oil. In a separate bowl blend the dendritic salt and fragrance oil then add to the rest of the blend. Package in a glass container or other of choice decorate with ribbons and bows and personalize too!
Exfoliating Scrub: Combine equal amounts of carrier oil (almond, avocado or sunflower) and sea salt, add a small amount of liquid soap such as castille or glycerin to make a cleansing scrub, fragrance of your choice (1 teaspoon per 4 oz jar). Mix well and package in a glass container and decorate as you choose. Please note that this will have to be mixed well with each use.
Candles and Soap: Did you know that you can save the remnants and remelt in a double boiler and place in a mold?
Natural Mobiles: Did you know that you could make a mobile by using cinnamon sticks, lavender and other dried flowers? Purchase of ring from your local craft store, use string or clear line to hang the ornaments. This is a beautiful fragrant delight! Embellish with crystals, beads and other charms to add flair!
Happy Crafting!
