    Still rushing around trying to get last-minute DIY gifts done? Whip up a DIY spa gift basket in just minutes using items you’ve already made.

    Homemade gift baskets are:

    • Thoughtful
    • Easy to make
    • Inexpensive
    • Customizable

    This DIY spa gift basket is geared towards anyone who loves to relax in a bath and get in a little self-care.

    You can put as much or as little into your basket as you wish to make it special. They also make a wonderful Christmas gift (as do these other homemade Christmas gifts).

     

    What To Put In A Homemade Spa Gift Basket

    When it comes to choosing items for DIY gift baskets, you want to go with a mix of homemade spa items (here’s a list of the best DIY spa items for gifts!) as well as store-bought items.

    You’ll also need the following items to put it all together:

    • Pretty basket or oval tub
    • Cellophane
    • Gift tag (or use a free template to make your own)

    After you have the basics, use the lists below to mix and match different items to make up your gift!

     

    DIY Spa Kit

    Below are the best items for an at-home, DIY spa day. They’re homemade, all-natural, and promote relaxation.

    • Citrus body butter
    • Cinnamon lip chap
    • Anxiety healing bath bombs
    • Individual sugar scrubs
    • Lotion bar
    • Candy cane soap

     

     

    Store-Bought Items For Relaxation

    In addition to the DIY spa gifts, you can include small store-bought items to make the basket even more special.

    You know your friend best, so grab what they like! However, below are a few favorites:

    • Nail files
    • Eye mask
    • Slippers
    • Socks
    • Beeswax candle

    Once you have all the items, line the bottom of the basket with linen, cellophane, or string filler and arrange your items. Wrap the basket in cellophane and tie it off with twine.

    Then, create your label, secure it and you’re done!

    Whipping up homemade gifts doesn’t have to be complicated- just thoughtful.
