Homemade Bath Bombs
While a trip to the spa
might be out of the question this year, you can still give your loved ones the
essentials for the ideal spa day at home. Bath bombs are a great way to add a
little extra to any self-care routine and can be made with ingredients you probably
already have in your kitchen. Get the recipe here, and get as creative as you like with different shapes, colors,
and aromas to create the perfect soothing holiday gift.
DIY Sugar and Salt Scrubs
While you’re thinking about
self-care, make a simple sugar and salt exfoliating scrub that will give even
the most expensive commercial products a run for their money. In addition to
its numerous health benefits, an exfoliating scrub will leave your skin feeling
soft and luminous and is surprisingly easy to make. Follow the recipe, here.
DIY Embroidered Picture

Celebrate your favorite
shared moments together with a personalized piece of home decor. This DIY
project is especially fun to create and only takes a few minutes, so you can

Homemade Kombucha
With flavors such as
cranberry cinnamon and pomegranate orange, these homemade kombucha recipes make
for one of the most flavorful holiday drinks packed with healthy vitamins and
probiotics. Kombucha is relatively simple to make - it involves fermenting
sugary black or green tea with the help of a SCOBY (symbiotic colony of
bacteria and yeast). Get the step-by-step tutorial for both festive flavors here. When you’re done, package and label your kombucha in these neat flip-top bottles.
Whether it's a homemade
tasty treat from the kitchen or a DIY self-care essential for the perfect spa
day, there is nothing that compares to the uniqueness of a homemade gift this
holiday season. While online shopping is certainly convenient, your loved ones
will surely appreciate the thoughtfulness of these personalized gifts.
