Mother's Day is almost here.
You can use herbs to make simple gifts that are appropriate for giving for Mother's Day or any time of the year.
Here are some ideas.
Simple Lavender Laundry Sachet Gift.
This gift is great for anyone who likes sweetly scented laundry.
To make it fill a fabric bag with dried lavender buds.
Seal the bag so the lavender can't come out.
This bag can be used in the dryer in place of laundry dryer sheets to add a delicate lavender scent to clothes.
Make several and put them into a gift basket to give to the recipient.
As an added touch, include some natural laundry soap with your gift basket.
Simple Rose Potpourri Gift.
Everyone loves roses.
You can make a simple gift using dried rose buds.
Drizzle rose fragrance oil onto dried rose buds.
Stir well to distribute the fragrance.
Store in an airtight container.
Peppermint and Chamomile Tea Gift Basket.
Do you know someone who likes to drink tea? This gift is one they will appreciate.
Peppermint tea aids in digestion, and chamomile tea is relaxing.
To make this gift put dried peppermint leaves (food grade) into a new glass jar, and put dried chamomile flowers (food grade) into another jar.
Label each one.
Put both jars into a gift basket and include a mug, a tea strainer, and a jar of honey or some stevia (Stevia is a natural herb that is used by many people as a sweetener).
