I’ve always thought that homemade gifts bring a sense of love and care with them.
Knowing that someone took the time to create something with their own hands has a way of making you feel special.
It’s also good for the gift-giver. Working hard to prepare a gift warms the soul.
It can be a little stressful, too. So, might I encourage you to choose homemade gifts that are simple?
Below I’ve listed homemade gifts that are fairly quick and easy to make.
This list is a little heavy on the natural body care; that’s because natural body care is one of the easiest things to make (and is usually well received).
Natural body care products
Ginger Lime Coconut body Scrub
Rice and Lavender Heating Pads
