Homemade Herbal Toner
Give the gift of radiant skin. Witch hazel is really inexpensive at the drug store and is a fabulous toner. Pour a bottle over your favorite herbs or fresh cucumbers, seal and allow the mixture to soak for a few days in the fridge.
Develop your own concoction using lavender, rosemary, cloves, basil or mint. You can also add a drop or two of essential oil for added fragrance. Strain and pour into plastic or glass bottles with your “custom” label and some Christmas flare.
Be sure to focus on quality rather than quantity because the toner will spoil if not used relatively quickly.
Homemade Bath Salts
Combine Epsom Salt with a few drops of your favorite essential oil for a relaxing soak. You can also add some dried lavender, lilacs or mini-roses for color.
Pour into little canvas bags and tie a raffia bow or Christmas ribbon around the top. Consider handwriting directions on a small piece of stationary:
Step 1: Add to hot bath.
Step 2: Lock door.
Step 3: Light candle.
Step 4: Pour a glass or wine or lemon water.
Step 5: Take 15 for yourself.
Homemade Tinted Lip Balm
Buy some small pots from craft or hobby store. Using a clean popsicle stick or spoon, scrape the contents of your favorite lip balm or salve into a bowl and add some crushed blush or mineral make-up.
A little goes a long way, so add the color sparingly. Mix and fill plastic or acrylic pots.
Print out cute labels on your computer and stick them on top. Then place them in a cute little box, wrap with some ribbon and a sprig of Christmas holly, and voila: you've made an adorable gift for less than $10. 
Homemade Linen Spray
Help your hostess beautify her home with this delicious-smelling linen spray (for a fraction of the cost). Use a bottle that has a fine mist to ensure proper dispersion of the spray.
First, find a fragrance that you like by experimenting with essential oils. Popular choices are ginger, jasmine, neroli, sandalwood, lavender and rose.
Once you’ve found a good combo, add the oil to 1 part witch hazel or alcohol (you can even use Vodka) to 5 parts distilled or spring water.
Tie a sprig of lavender around the bottle. 
Homemade Sugar Scrub
Everyone loves a good sugar scrub! Mix brown sugar with olive, safflower or coconut oil (just enough to add some moisture and help the sugar spread).
Next, experiment with vanilla, lavender, lemon zest, jasmine oil, peppermints crushed into a powder, even ground coffee. You can also squeeze the contents of a natural Vitamin E capsule into the mix (it’s a natural preservative), or just stick to the small batch rule. These scrubs are best when used on the body, not on delicate facial skin.
Want to make your hostess feel extra special? Put one of each of these treats in a decorative bag or wicker basket and get ready for a big Christmas hug!
