This Christmas, we’ve decided to keep things simple, natural and sustainable with homemade, natural and DIY gifts (and a few select wooden toys for the kids so they can last for generations).
There are so many great options for DIY homemade gifts, and I hope that others will consider joining me in gift giving this way…
Below are a few of my favorite homemade gift ideas and some suggestions for some simple gift baskets.

Natural Baby Care Recipes (baby powder, diaper cream, lotion, etc)
Lotion Bars Recipe (all natural, easy to make and amazing for skin!)
Whipped Body Butter Recipe (like Velvet on the skin)

Herbal Tea Blends (delicious and health boosting)
Healing Clays (for masks, internal and more)
