We’re feeling a bit crafty this morning, so how about we start the day off with a little DIY? We just shared a super cute DIY bridesmaid glam gift idea over at LaurenConrad.com, but honestly, why stop at one? Your bridesmaids are your best gals, so chances are you’re putting a ton of thought into their gifts. As a result, we came up with another angle for a thoughtful gift, this DIY pamper basket. See the how-to below to show your ‘maids how much you appreciate them with the gift of relaxation. Say it with us now: Ahhh.
Our DIY gift contains:
- custom aromatherapy perfume (a combination of essential oils and a carrier oil, like jojoba).
- DIY herbal tub tea
- coconut milk lotion
- body brush and loofah
- lip butter
- pink clay soap
- spa headband
- salt hair spray
…All tucked inside a pretty basket.
And for the herbal tub tea:
Mix together epsom salts + rose buds + chamomile + lavender + calendula and put in a Weck jar. Tuck in a muslin bag for your recipient to put the tea mixture in for their bath.
As for scents, some lovely combinations to make are…
5 drops rose + 3 drops sandalwood
5 drops jasmine + 2 drops clove + 3 drops vanilla
2 drops lavender + 2 drops chamomile + 2 drops cardamom + 1 drop cedarwood + 3 drops geranium
2 drops orange + 3 drops lavender + 2 drops cedarwood + 2 drops ylang ylang + 2 drops bergamot
Then, put the aromatherapy oil and jojoba in a pretty rollerball perfume container.
Pretty, right? What do you guys think?! Don’t forget to see our post on LaurenConrad.com for more bridesmaid gift inspiration!
