For my children, it is only now the end of the school year. While all the parents usually get together and give a class give, I like to give something a little more personal Over the years it's been things like cookies, picture frames, homemade earrings, and Bath Salts. My favorite (and one a friend of mine likes as well) is the Lavender Bath Salts. You have to figure the teachers have worked hard for your child all year, you could at least give them something to relax. So here is it..
Lavender Bath Salts
2 Cups Epsom Salts
1 Cup Baking Soda
4-5 drops Lavender Oil
combine the salts and soda. Put in the drops of oil and mix.
Add a 2 or 3 table spoons of the mix to your hot/warm bath water and relax.
Quantities above will depend on how much you want to make. I usually make several medium sized jars at a time, so my quantities are in multiples of usually 4 or 5.
To Give as gifts, get some fancy (or not so fancy) jars to put them in. preferably ones that have good lids. I also decorate the jars with fake lavender berries, or pretty leaves made in a lavender colour. I also put tags on the jars that tell how to use the salts.
