Make Homemade Gifts for Mother’s Day

Posted by Kelly Essential Oils, Family, Holidays, Natural Beauty 7 comments

Moms always love getting something from their children that they made, whether it be a special card that says I love you, or a sculpture that’s made of mud. So, what could be better than homemade gifts for Mother’s Day that mom can use to make her feel extra special?

As adults, it’s nice to give our mom something that she will appreciate on more of an adult level too (not to take anything away from those special mud sculptures).  My homemade bath and body recipes are luxurious and really come together to look beautiful and special. They’re a great way to show how much you care. Plus, you know you are giving her something that’s healthy and physically uplifting.

    I made a hot cocoa bath salts once that smelled to-die-for. And totally covered the tub in brown goo. 🙂 Greetings from Mostly Homemade Mondays. You must write good stuff, I hit your site through two different linkies and both posts were good enough to warrant a comment. Keep up the good work!

    I can’t wait to try some of these. I don’t even think I’ll ask the kids to help, just do it myself so I can enjoy it faster! I’m glad I found your post through the What I Learned Wednesday Link party.
