This is not adding any advice to the OP, but I just wanted to rave about one of my Christmas gifts this year. A friend of mine has begun to make her own household & personal hygiene products in the past several months, and she made gift baskets for some of us. Mine included citrus bath bomb fizzies, peppermint-citrus body butter, lavender frankincense deodorant, peppermint cocoa lip balm, bars of honey oatmeal soap, a beeswax candle in a jar, and some hand-dipped yogurt-covered pretzels. Everything was made from organic ingredients and pure essential oils.
I feel so pampered….
