9 DIY Beauty Gifts Perfect For The Holidays

Holiday gifting doesn't have to hurt your bank account. Avoid last minute shopping nightmares by creating your own beauty gifts at home. It's a great way to add a personal touch to your holiday gifts without spending a lot of money. Plus, everything you need can be found in your pantry or local craft store. So, don't go out, and buy tons of beauty products this holiday season. Make them yourself, instead. The best part is that you don't even have to be a crafting genius to create these gifts. Even DIY newbies, like myself, can make these simple beauty products at home.

Another bonus of creating your own beauty gifts this holiday season is that you can control everything that goes into the product. From scents to salts and everything in-between, you can customize the product to each recipient's personality or taste. This customization also allows you to forgo any harmful ingredients. In fact, most of the DIYs below use only all-natural or organic ingredients. How cool is that? Give gifts that people actually will use this holiday season. Here are nine beauty products that your loved ones are sure to enjoy during the holidays.
