Rose water is easy to make and it smells amazing. Next time you need to prune your rose bush, save some rose petals to make some rose water. Mix the rose water with some sugar and essential oils and you’ve got yourself a sugar scrub. Sugar scrubs work great for exfoliating and moisturizing dry skin.

Dried Fruit

Sometimes people have an over abundance of fruit from their fruit tree and cannot seem to get rid of it quickly enough. Dehydrate your fruit and give it as gifts. Wrap the dried fruit in a cute bag with a nice tie on top. It’ll look really cute and it’ll taste great. Dehydrated apples, peaches, and even watermelons are all really tasty. 

Herb Jars

Give someone access to fresh herbs in their own house. Starting the herbs from seed will be a lot cheaper than buying grown herbs. Use an old mason jar so that it’ll be even cheaper. Plus mason jars look cute and rustic. It’s also possible to start new herbs from herbs that you’ve already grown. It might be a little harder to get herbs to grow from pieces of your herbs, but it should still work. You just need to know how to transplant them.
