A Little Something Made by You

There’s something special about a gift you’ve made yourself. With Christmas approaching, now is a lovely time to get creative with simple gifts you can personalise for friends, family or teachers.

Pour a Christmas candle
Choose a candle jar and a fragrance that suits the person you’re making it for. Think fresh and fruity, soft and floral, or something festive. Start early to allow time for curing and testing with your chosen wax.

Make a batch of soaps
Melt and pour soap is a great starting point for beginners. Choose your base, add a suitable skin-safe scent and a little colour, then pour into moulds. Once set, wrap and finish with a handwritten label.

Put together a DIY gift kit
Know someone who loves getting creative? Package a few crafting supplies together so they can enjoy making something themselves. Include a simple recipe or instructions for a thoughtful finishing touch.

Keep the packaging simple
A box, a ribbon and a personal message can turn your creation into a beautiful gift. If you’re making several, choose one style and change the scent or colour for each person.
