Homemade Holiday Gift Ideas! - Page 2

Those air spritzers sound great, Wolfie! I love so many of the fragrances on the market (for air fresheners, etc), but I have enough allergies that I have to forgo most of them. I have a sneaking suspicion it's because of the chemicals in them, which, I realize, they might need to stabilize them while on the store shelves, etc. I'll try to remember to pick up the essential oils you mentioned and give the scents a try. I've never had trouble w/essential oils, so this might be what I've been looking for! Thanks!

If you're allergic to dust mites and want to take it a step further, you can dilute the essential oils vodka (or everclear, if grain alcohol is legal where you live) then mist the soft surfaces in your house, like the furniture and your bedding. The alcohol kills the dust mites then quickly evaporates, leaving only the nice smells from the essential oils behind.

Instead of buying or giving gift cards as gifts you should definitely make something. I found this project on Factory Direct Craft over summer and bookmarked it because I knew I wanted to make it for my mom and sisters. They will love it!! It is a homemade skin softener that smells soo sweet! hope my idea helped

That is what its about. Simplicity and forethought of that person in question. Unfortunately I dont have funds to do Christmas this year. So maybe I will have to do a post Christmas thing. Hugs

Thank you samson smith! Happy New Year's to one and all. Best gift to give to others for the new year is NOT letting anyone drive after drinking. This way they get home to their loved ones for another year.

Happy New Year, Wolf_angel! Here's to a better year!
