Homemade Christmas gifts...kinda OT

Since Christmas is coming up many people decide to go either a cheaper or easier route for extended family. I am no different. I prefer to give homemade gifts because to me they are more heart-felt then something bought at the store and 93% I already have all of the ingredients on hand anyways.

This year I am giving people (mostly dh's family since my side doesn't exchange gifts anymore);

Those sounds awesome!!! I would love the homemade lotion bars, soap and bath milk stuff best! And i LOVE homemade jam!!!! I beg one of my moms friends for a jar of her mixed berry jam when she makes it!

You'd be amazed about how easy everything is to make and most of it is probably all in your kitchen. I haven't tried the milk bath stuff since I just made it today but everything else I use.

Mix all the ingredients together and place in a jar and allow it to sit for at least 24 hours before using. I haven't used it yet so I'm not sure how much to use in the bath. The recipe that I have didn't say.

I've also used the melt and pour types of soap that you can get at any craft store. They turn out really nice too.

Quoting raczac:

Can I get the recipes for the soap andvthe milk bath please?
