The holidays are approaching fast and that means lots of parties!!  Don’t worry, I have a post coming out next week on making better choices for the holidays.

That’s not what we’re talking about today.  Today we’re talking GIFT GUIDES!!!!  I’ve got you covered.  I have 8 Gift Guides coming out over this week and next so stay tuned!  I’ve done a ton of research and found you the best gifts, some natural, some not really.

Let’s start with the host/hostess.  They have put in a TON of work.  Cooking, cleaning, planning.  Let’s spoil them a little.  I have a few handmade gifts here that show the recipient that extra time and effort you put in. 

If you ain’t-got-no-time for handmade, I got you covered there too.  Grab a cup of tea and read on!

 

1. e-cloth Window Cleaning Pack.  These work with just water and are great at keeping windows and mirrors shiny.  A very practical gift.  Tie them with a cute ribbon and a healthy bar of chocolate.  Done.

2. DIY Candles.  A DIY gift is not only fun to make, but also much appreciated.  You can pick the essential oils you use and wrap this up in some cute fabric with a tag telling them the scent.

3. Rocky Mountain Oils Christmas Morning Holiday Kit.  What host/hostess doesn’t want their house to smell amazing?  This is perfect if you know that they have a diffuser.  If you aren’t sure, pair this with a small fine mist spray bottle and instructions to add 40-50 drops in the bottle along with some distilled water and create their own room mist.

4. DIY Body Scrub and Lip Scrub.  Another fabulous handmade gift.  You can also customize this one a bit.  With the dry weather upon us, these are indulgent gifts that anyone would love.

5. Stainless Steel and Silicone Serving Tongs. Plus these cute  Toile holiday Oven Mitts.  Wrap a set of tongs in one of the oven mitts with a pretty red bow.  Throw in some real greenery that you cut from your yard and you have an adorable gift that also smells great.

6. Vintage Tradition Pretty Girly Tallow Balm.  I cannot say enough about this amazing balm.  It works like magic on dry skin, cuticles, chapped lips, really dry feet, rashes, and more.  It isn’t greasy, and it has a nice clean scent.  I would wrap this up in some cute fabric and add a ribbon and a tag, and you’re all set!

7. Peace Lily Plant.  This plant is known to remove common household pollutants like benzene, formaldehyde, trichloroethylene, xylene, toluene, and ammonia from the air.  Wrap the pot in pretty paper, add a bow and a little note telling the hostess about the plant and that it purifies the air.  Did you know that the recommended number of plants to have in your house to clean the air is 1 per 100 square feet?

8. Foaming Hand Soap Dispenser, Plus Dr. Bronner’s  Castile Soap.  Grab my recipe for Foaming Hand Soap here, click on it and print it.  Then attach it to a dispenser and bottle of Castile soap with a bow.  Voila!

9. Easy DIY Bath Salts.  This comes together in just minutes.  Another heartfelt handmade gift that you can personalize.  A relaxing and health-promoting bath is exactly what the host/hostess needs after cleaning up after the party!!!

Now go and enjoy all those parties and make sure to spoil the host/ess!
