This year, I wanted to share my new-found love of homemade, natural products with my friends and family, so my husband and I decided that that was all we would give. I jarred up my laundry soap, tied rope around bars of my goat milk soap, and made vanilla extract and peppermint syrup. I also made sugar scrubs, bath fizzies, lotion bars and body butter. I spent a few evenings sewing reversible drawstring bags to put it all in, and my husband designed and printed labels for each with instructions and ingredients printed on the back. I also made some extra of my diaper rash cream and sewed some little bean bag style owie packs for the babies. Here is a taste of what I gave.

This was one of my favorite years of giving because I had so much fun making all of these things. I also knew that everything was natural and pure, and almost edible :) Now that I've given it all away, I want to make more so I have extras on hand for birthday and showers throughout the year. Maybe I'll even consider selling some at the farmers market someday, we'll see.
