There are those that scoff, remembering the misshapen clay ash tray given . The fact still remains that a lot of love goes into the creation of a homemade gift..It's become very fashionable to make home-made gifts to give away at Christmas or take to parties. Sometimes it can be a cellophane bag of Xmas cookies , sometimes a knitted hat, mitts or socks perhaps even a personal luxury item....
This season I have tried to add these special touches with a few home made gifts.They will be used for hostess gifts , to neighbours who have done little favours for us , a little extra tuck in for broughten gifts..
First of my homemade gifts:
Lavender Oatmeal Milk bath.

| pretty aren't they and oh how nice the scent! |
 |
| oatmeal ends up very finely ground |
The oatmeal was pulverized in a small grinder so hopefully won't leave residue in the bath... Dry milk powder and a bit of baking soda which also eases itchy skin are all the other ingredients needed.
Candy Cane Bath salts.

These look lovely and I bet they smell great too! I try to make something handmade for Christmas every year and encourage my daughters to as well.
Rosemary, you should sell these on Etsy! They look so pink and pretty! xo
I like homemade presents the most too, and I have been working on knitting hats and scarves for my family and friends. Much better than receiving a gift card, in my opinion. :) Your gifts are lovely.
What lovely gifts you have made for your friends and family.
Rosemary, how pleased the recipients of your lovingly made gifts will be!
I adore handmade gifts the most, too, and love to receive them. I'll be making a few things this year, mostly sewing and, if I ever get the basement cleaned out, I'll be making some stained glass whatnots, too.
Rosemary, what wonderful gifts. Who wouldn't love Candy Cane Bath Salts or a Lavender Milk Bath! I think they're a great idea.
