Handmade lip balm
This fabulous recipe is super easy to make and works great every time (even if you are a beginner). It is great for chapped lips or you can wear it anytime for soft and protected lips all year round (that's what we do). It is also plastic free as we pour the lip balm into cardboard tubes which works amazingly well and you avoid all plastic altogether.

Homemade lotion bars
Homemade lotion bars work amazingly well as gifts and stocking fillers. They are very moisturizing and long-lasting, they are travel-friendly and they are just great things to have around.
You can wrap them in parchment paper, pour them into paper deodorant tubes, or package them in round or square tins (depending on the shape of your bar). Β

Beeswax Candles
Beeswax candles are great alternatives to paraffin candles. They are much healthier and nicer and the best thing is that you can make them easily at home.
It is a matter of melting and pouring a couple of easy-to-find ingredients.
Give beeswax candles a go. They make beautiful thoughtful gifts that will delight their recipients.
