Homemade Gifts

This Christmas I decided that I would like to make some gifts for people.

Mum got this handmade gardeners scrub. Very easy to make and gets the dirt off making your hands feel moisturized afterwards.

Handmade Scrub
  1. Mix equal parts rock salt, brown sugar and white sugar together in a container.
  2. Drizzle over a small amount of Olive oil. Just enough to combine the ingredients. Mix together.
  3. Add a squeeze of lemon juice.
  4. Add essential oil if you wish. I added some lavender from my garden instead.


I spent some time sewing some dresses for my niece. The first dress (in blue) I made my own pattern for. The second (in red) I used the Sew La Tea Do pattern for the "Miss Adorable Frock". She sure looked adorable in them both!




And no gift would be complete without a homemade gift tag. Here's me and my little helper preparing our gift tags in preparation for some good ole hot glue gunning!


Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Happy Giving!!

Funnily enough it does! It is renamed as a "Miss Marple" dress. May give it a go next!
