Every year I try to find some cute little gifts that I can make at home to share with my girls' teachers and our family friends.
And every year I fail in getting everyone on our list covered. *boooo* This year I am again making a valiant effort to accomplish one gift for everyone on my list. *YAAAAY!* Say a prayer for me because with my 8 month old son it's going to be quite a feat to accomplish this year.
Here are some of the wonderful homemade gifts that I have come across in my searching for the perfect gift...not to mention easy. I hope that this list inspires and perhaps takes care of your search at the same time.
Merry Christmas & Happy Gifting!

Super simple recipe. Essential oils that I would recommend adding are: Citrus Bliss (invigorating blend, smells like an orange cremesicle), Serenity (calming blend of Lavender Sweet Marjoram, Roman Chamomile, Ylang Ylang, Hawaiian Sandalwood, Vanilla), Lavender, Ylang Ylang, or Blend of White Fir-Lavender-Lemon (smells lovely and great for easing arthritis pain)

Very simple to make. Glue items to the lid with glue gun or non-soluble glue. Fill container with boiled water (leave about 1-2 inches to rim, more if large items glued to lid). Add 1 teaspoon glycerin. Add glitter or snow. Then glue lid on nice and tight. Add a ribbon.

This is pretty much the best of two worlds for my girls. They love peppermint bark and really love Oreos.
