While I don’t do a ton of DIY gifts, there are so many wonderful ideas out there! Whether you need a gift idea for your neighbors, teachers, a gift exchange, or your closest loved ones, a DIY gift is so meaningful. You can usually make them fairly inexpensively, too!
Here are three ideas for DIY gifts to make this season:
Lavender Bath Soak
What You’ll Need
How To Make It
- Mix together 2 cups of epsom salt, 1/4 cup of coconut oil, a few sprinkles of dried lavender, and as many drops of lavender essential oil as desired (I do around a tablespoon).
- Once mixes, scoop into jars, put on lids, and lightly shake. This will allow the soak to settle together so you can add in more to completely fill the jars.
- Add a cute gift tag and label or use the label below.
Vanilla Sugar
What You’ll Need
- Vanilla Beans
- White Sugar
- Jar With A Lid
How To Make It
- Scrape the seeds out of the inside of the vanilla bean (use the seeds of roughly one vanilla bean for every 2 cups of white sugar).
- Add the sugar and vanilla bean seeds into a food processor or blender and pulse until combined (you can also hand whisk them).
- Add into a jar with a gift tag or use the label below.
Dipping Oil
What You’ll Need
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil of Your Choice
- Dispenser Bottles
- Bag for Spices
- Spice Blend of Your Choice (I Used Italian)
How To Make It
- Pour olive oil into each of the dispenser bottles.
- Add between 1/8 to 1/2 a cup of your preferred seasoning blend to each of the spice bags and loop around the dispenser bottle.
- Add a gift tag or use the label below.
You can also include a loaf of french bread, focaccia, sourdough, etc. for dipping when you give this gift!
