This is the time of the year that we start thinking about what to give to those special people in our lives. I want to make this year special and provide a gift that will be practical, enjoyable, and thoughtful.

This is a list that both men and women will enjoy, and it was made with a lot of love.

1. DIY beauty care

With winter arriving also comes the cold weather; this makes our hands and lips dry faster than in any other season of the year.

All-natural DIY hand cream and lip balm are so easy to make. It offers a delicious aroma and excellent ingredients that nourish our skin this time of the year. I use my body butter as a hand cream.

These products can be packed in eco-friendly containers. Using a glass mason jar container for the hand cream allows being reused later on by the person who received the gift. Using a cardboard lip balm container makes it recyclable and biodegradable, which is environmentally friendly.

2. Natural Personal Care

These natural personal care products are another beautiful and practical gift.

We started using a shampoo bar and conditioner bar not long ago, and we love it. They are small little bars that come in a cardboard package. It leaves our hair soft and nourished and lasts longer than our regular plastic containers of shampoo and conditioner.

To complete this thoughtful present, we can add a bamboo hair comb & brush, and even scrunchies.

3. Homemade sweets and snacks

Tasty and healthy homemade sweets and snacks always bring a smile to everyone’s face. Bake your best recipe or try a family recipe to share with others.

I made granola and meringue this year, but there are many homemade sweets and snacks options that can be made, like; gingerbread cookies, sugar cookies, popcorn, marshmallows, and more!

For an eco-friendly package, we use glass Mason Jars.

4. Eco-friendly Kitchen Essentials

Our kitchen is one of those places we go and use every day, several times a day.

Buying eco-friendly products brings joy to your kitchen and will help bring more natural materials to your home.

Help your friends and loved ones to make their favorite holiday baking recipes by giving beautiful kitchen essentials. These are daily kitchen essentials that everyone can enjoy.

5. Herbs

This mix of potted herbs is my favorite. I found it in a local supermarket, and they sell each herb separately so that you can mix different herbs in the planter.

For our kitchen fan, cooking with fresh herbs is priceless. This also brings a delicious and fresh herbs aroma to our kitchen.

Place the herbs in a large potting plant, add a ribbon and some decoration, and there you have a thoughtful and beautiful present.
