Holiday gifts

This year, instead of buying people things they may or may not like, I decided to put my heart into each and make handmade gifts.  How can you go wrong with these fabulous and easy to make presents.  I think it actually took me longer to come up with a design for the labels than to actually make and package them.  Give it a try if you are short on ideas and need that last minute surprise.  Happy holidays!!!

Sugar scrub

2 ½ c Sugar

1 c. mineral oil or olive oil

Scent oil of choice ( I used Bath and Bodyworks massage oil, but if you have a concentrated scented oil, use that)

Mix until combined and fill jars.

Here is the label template I used.
