DIY Mother’s Day Gifts

By Mums Mail Magazine08/05/20192 Mins Read

You don’t have to spend loads of money to give your mom a truly beautiful gift for Mother’s Day. Here are some amazing DIY Mother’s Day gift ideas…

Passion Tea Sugar Scrub

DIY Passion Tea Sugar Scrub – a citrus tea infused sugar scrub made with jojoba oil to exfoliate and moisturize dry skin.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 bags passion tea
  • 1/4-1/2 cup jojoba oil
  • 10 drops orange essential oil

Instructions

  • Combine two tea bags into a small bowl with sugar
  • Add a couple of drops of pink food colouring (optional)
  • Mix in 10 drops of orange essential oil and jojoba oil
  • Store in an airtight container.

DIY Floral Bath Bombs

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup baking soda
  • 1/4 cup citric acid
  • 1/4 cup Epsom salt (regular or scented)
  • 2 tbsp corn starch
  • 12-15 drops fragrance or essential oil (I used rose)
  • 1-1 1/2 tsp olive oil or vegetable oil
  • Silicone flower mold
  • Dried flowers (optional, I used rose)
  • Food colouring (1-2 drops, optional)

How to:

  1. Incorporate all dry ingredients into a bowl and whisk to combine (add dried flowers if desired)
  2. A little at a time, mix the liquid ingredients into the dry ones with a whisk. You’ll know you’ve reached the right consistency when the mixture barely holds together (kind of like making a sandcastle)
  3. Press the mixture into the silicone mould with your fingers and/or the back of a spoon. It should be packed tightly
  4. Set aside to dry out for at least two hours and check occasionally. They are ready to remove when you can press on them without any give
  5. Once dry, carefully remove from the mould
  6. Wrap in cute bags as gifts or drop one into a bath and let it fizz!
