Best Ever Home Made Gift Ideas

There's something so special about hand made gifts, if you know of any fab DIY gift idea please share them with me! Here are my favourites!

Coconut & Peppermint Whipped Body Butter

All you'll need for the super skin loving natural body lotion is a pretty glass jar, organic coconut oil, cocoa butter, Shea butter, sweet almond oil (or jojoba oil if you're a nut free home like us), vitamin E oil & pure peppermint essential oil.

The perfect match to the body butter Peppermint & Chocolate all natural body scrub. This is the ultimate full body exfoliator, brilliant for prepping the body for your summer fake tan.

Brownie in a Jar

Here's one for the hubby that loves home made brownies (that's all husbands right?), now he can make them at home with the kids while you pop out to browse shoes. Just grab a mason jar, brown sugar, plain flour, cup cocoa, cup walnuts/pecans (we swap the nuts for raisins and white chocolate chunks), chocolate chips, pretty fabric & twine.

Friendship Bracelet
