Holidays are just around the corner, so it is a great time to think of easy yet thoughtful gifts to give. In this case, homemade bath salts are an amazing gift idea that has easy to find ingredients all around!
Homemade bath salts smell as lovely as they are good for your health. Combined with the power of natural minerals and essential oils, you will benefit in more ways than one. So soothing to experience in the bath.
Can’t think of a thoughtful gift for your lover’s birthday? Is Christmas shopping just too time-consuming? Why not send some Ylang Ylang and Chamomile in a bottle? Or how about homemade Sandalwood and Lemon bath salts to make their day?
No need to rush to the local Michael’s if you already have a handful of jars at home. You know Martha Stewart wouldn’t do that unless she had to. If you already have some at home, reuse them and make them new all over again by filling those with epsom bath salts.
Maybe you don’t have any jars at home. That’s fine. You’ll still save money if you buy jars in bulk. EBay always has a marketplace full of jars. Make it a one-stop shop and get your bath salt ingredients (including sea salt) while you’re at it.
Don’t forget the baking soda if you are set on making bath salts at home.
It’s amazing what colors you can choose to decorate your homemade bath salts. From orange, to red, to blue, to lavender…you have the ultimate decision in how deep they will end up. It will take some trial and error in combining food coloring drops to achieve your intended result. Just remember to top off the jar with a nice decoration or strings.
Start deciding the amount of scentedness, and begin with just a few drops of essential oils. Take a sniff, and keep gauging how much more scented the homemade bath salts should be. Don’t worry if the scent seems to be overwhelming, because it will easily be diluted in the bath water after your gift recipient races to draw the bath.
