Homemade gift idea: sugar scrub
I am a huge fan of homemade body care items. After finding out about all the chemicals in most store bought items, I started making my own moisturizer and body oil (a replacement for body lotion). What most people do not realize is not only how much better for you the homemade items are, but how easy and cheap they are.
