This adorable, diy Christmas gift idea is something so simple, but so cute and practical! Question for ya, are you a bath or shower person? I am definitely a bath person. I have deemed my Sunday nights as my, “self care night”, and always start it out with a hot bath. I’ve been making my own bath salts with my essential oils and it has been a nice addition to my Sunday night ritual.
Supplies for Diy Christmas Gift Idea
You’ll only need a few things for this diy gift! Glass jars with lids, I used these ones.
Essential oils. To read more about essential oils, go HERE. I did a combination of cedarwood and lavender. These oils are great for relaxation and sleepy time, perfect combo for a bath! Some other ideas of oil combinations are lavender & eucalyptus, rosemary & lemon, panaway (great for sore muscles), & peppermint & eucalyptus.
I bought my epsom salt here.
How to Make Your Bath Salts
This is one of the easiest diy’s you’ll ever do! Pour your epsom salt into a large container, add your essential oils and stir. That’s literally it! I did 15-20 drops of each oil into the salt, which filled up 2 small glass jars and 1 huge glass jar.
Use twine and cute little Christmas decor items to decorate your jars. These adorable mini bottle brush trees were perfect and only $2 for a pack of 9.
Make a few small ones and/or 1 giant one!
Gift Ideas for Teachers
Teachers definitely deserve Christmas gifts, if not this year more than ever, am I right?! I am so grateful that our girls are still able to go to school amid this pandemic. And that wouldn’t be possible without our amazing teachers!
Who doesn’t love getting gifted a cozy blanket during the holidays? I know I do! Tuck in one of these bath salts and you have a great gift. Right now these cozy sherpa blankets are buy one get one free! You can go here to purchase.
Another idea is to attach a gift card to the jar, I am always a fan of getting gift cards as well!
