In my search, I can across some good and unusual options, so I figured it would be a great idea to share my wonderful and unusual ideas with our followers... my small gift to you , perhaps taking a bit of the scramble out of searching for all those perfect gifts!!
I came across some awesome options and even homemade ideas but not that of frilly toilet roll covers or a pair of knitted bed socks!!
This one is for the girls! Homemade Choclate Lip Balm -All you need is 1 teaspoon of beeswax, 2 teaspoons pure fair trade organic cocoa butter, 3 teaspoons organic coconut or olive oil, 5 to 10 drops of peppermint essential oil and a recycled container! Melt ingredients over a double boiler or in the microwave. If using the microwave, do 30 second spurts at a time. Cool and then pour into containers. Allow to set...smells great!
I know you all going to like this .. possibily the boys! Homemade infused vodkas! This one takes a bit of planning depending on what ingredient you wish to infuse, as it may need to "brew" for a while but from vanilla flavours to citrus , berries and apples, it is all possible!
For a little offering in the pampering department, doesn't this sound good. Coffee Sugar Scrub?Requires 2 cups of coarsely ground coffee (Fair trade coffee if possible), ½ cup sea salt or brown sugar , 3 tablespoons almond oil (or olive oil, jojoba, or apricot kernel oil) ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract. Mix it all up and you have a pampering exfoliating scrub!
If you don't have the time to make your gifts but looking some innovating Green options, I suggest The Green Shop, from gadgets to jewellery and even composters, a great option for the greenies out there, which I hope you are all aiming to be in the 2012!
