Our Very Best Handmade Gifts for the Holidays

As you probably know, we’re advocates of homemade gifts. Whenever the time and resources allow it, we’d rather make something ourselves than buy it! Big batch beauty recipes–such as body scrubs and bath salts–are perfect for that: just portion them in mason jars, add a personalized note and a ribbon, and you’re good to go.

We’ve rounded up some of our best handmade gifts for this holiday season, and there’s something for everyone!

Black bath bombs look stylish and minimalist, but they’re also packed with skin-soothing activated charcoal! This makes them more than just a pretty thing.

Loved the sugar cubes but they were very hard and didn’t “melt” or “lather” or anything like it. Finally I found “crushing” them in a washcloth allowed me to scub elbows and some of the body lightly. Any suggestions? Otherwise they look and smel great in a mesh bag as a nice gift.
