So Christmas is coming soon (28 days), and giving gifts is a fun way to spread the holiday cheer. For your friends and family of the female variety, bath salts are a great gift. Especially christmas themed ones. That way once all the craziness of christmas has died down they can actually enjoy it. So here's the recipe:

Makes: 20 ounces
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Shelf Life: Indefinite
Ingredients:
- 2 cups epsom salts
- 1/2 cup sea salt
- 4-5 drops peppermint essential oil
- 2-3 drops red food coloring
- Place 1 cup of epsom salt and 1/4 cup of sea salt in a separate bowl. Add 2-3 drops of peppermint oil and mix it until it's distributed evenly.
- Place 1 cup of epsom salt and 1/4 cup of sea salt in another bowl. Add 2-3 drops of peppermint oil and 2-3 drops of red food coloring. Mix until it's distributed evenly.
- Package with care.
Packaging ideas:
- Evenly distribute salt mixture amongst cellophane bags. Tie off with a ribbon and a tag. Tie a candy cane to the bag if so desired. When packing the different colors you can carefully make a striped effect by putting in some red salt then clear salt. Or you can keep them separate when packaged.
- Do the striped effect in a small glass jar. (Or the separate thing works too!). Wrap a ribbon around the lid, attach a note and a candy cane on top of the lid.
xxoo,
Claire.
