A few weeks ago, we spent a long weekend visiting some friends. We don’t get to see them very often, so it was a very special weekend.
I wanted to give them some treats as a gift. I decided to make a bunch of different skin care products and then let them divide them up among themselves.
Their gift box included:
- 1 jar of peppermint foot cream
- 2 bottles of lotion
- 3 jars of hand balm
- 6 tubes of lip lube
- And a whole bunch of soap!
I had so much fun putting everything together. Here are some photos of the final product.

Skin Care Treats!
Lip Lube and Hand Balm
Hans Solo Soap
Fish Soap
As you can see, I made some specialty soaps for this gift box. The blue and purple fish and starfish soaps were specially made for our friends’ daughter. Her favorite colours are blue and purple, so I thought these would be perfect. And one of our friends is a Star Wars fan. I thought he might appreciate the Hans Solo soap!

Will you share the recipe for the peppermint foot cream and the hand balm! They look awesome!

Well…these are two items that I’m still perfecting, but I think I could make them part of my shop one day. So, for now, I’m going to hold the recipes close! Having said that, I have taken a lot of inspiration from this book, Organic Body Care Recipes by Stephanie Tourles.
