The Best Handmade Christmas Gift Ideas :: Introduce Your Family & Friends to All Natural Body Care

Here are the best-of-the-best homemade gift ideas for Christmas!

Using these easy to follow ideas and recipes, you can give everyone you know a gift handcrafted with love this holiday season.

1. Naturally Tinted Lip Balm
My search for a natural, plant-based, herbal solution for tinted lip balm lead me to Alkanet Root. Alkanet root has many beneficial properties yet it is primarily used as a very effective dying agent, wonderful for use in lip balms.

Used in my recipe, it gave the oils a beautiful deep burgundy tint and on my lips it was the perfect bit of color I had been looking for!

2. Herbal Foot Butter
A hydrating treatment for the toughest feet. After making my own foot butter…I will never buy it again.

It’s easy, cheap, 100% natural and an excellent treat for your feet!

3. Warm Vanilla Lip Balm
This balm is seriously amazing. Think of applying the perfect mix of vanilla and honey to your lips! Not to mention, the deep penetrating moisture of this balm stays on your lips for hours and provides a ton of healing properties and protection from the sun and winds.

4. All-Natural Deodorant Stick
There are many reasons why we should be concerned about using antiperspirants and commercially prepared deodorants! Mainly, the hidden dangers in the active ingredients of conventional deodorant (i.e. Aluminum, Parabens, Propylene glycol, Phthalates, and Triclosan). Current research shows a strong link between antiperspirants containing aluminum and breast cancer, birth defects, allergies, and hormonal imbalances. These potentially hazardous chemicals have no place in our homes and certainly no place under our arms.
