Homemade bath salts are one of my favorite go-to gifts. They are easy to make, inexpensive, but still have a homemade touch. We always have the ingredients in the house, and enough mason jars to give away, so they are a great last minute gift idea. I've given them as stocking-stuffers, to new moms, to brides-to-be or to friends who just deserve a little something.
Here's what you need to know. You could do this with just epsom salts and your favorite essential oil. I like to add some variety by also using baking soda and Himalayan Pink Salt. Check out the recipes below...
