While we carry basically a never-ending supply of handmade, artisan wellness gifts perfect for the holidays, there’s just something special about making homemade gifts, especially when the kids get in on it. And if there's one thing everyone on your list could use, it's some R&R. So why not enjoy a weekend indoors making some handmade wellness gifts to show your people how much you care?

A DIY wellness gift is a great way to give someone the chance to relax, rejuvenate winter skin, and take a nice breather.

You can make one of these as a stocking stuffer, or pair a few projects together for a full-fledged self-care gift basket. Either way, we've put together some of our favorite handmade wellness gift ideas that will have the recipient(s) feeling oh-so-special.

DIY body scrubs are a quick, easy, and affordable gift that call for ingredients you probably already have.

Winter Skin Body Oil

As if the cold, dark days weren't enough, winter also has a lovely habit of leaving our skin dry and cracked.

While some lotion certainly helps dry skin, this winter skin body oil goes just a little bit deeper.

Made up of shea butter, argan, jojoba, Vitamin E oil, and essential oils, this body oil is incredibly moisturizing and full of all that goodness your skin is probably craving right now.

Frankincense and Myrrh are essential oils made for the holidays.

This whipped body butter is a creamier, more luxurious alternative to lotion and provides dry winter skin with all the extra moisture it needs.

DIY Peppermint Lip Balm

The wonderful thing about peppermint lip balm is that it's festive, but it's also a scent that doesn't lose its loveliness once the holidays are over.

Made up of beeswax pellets, coconut oil, shea butter, and peppermint essential oil, this lip balm requires a bit more prep than some of the other projects, but once you make a big batch you'll have lots of lip balm for stocking stuffers and small gifts.

Utilize lip balm tubes for easy application or go with a resealable tin for something a little more eco-friendly.

As a bonus, the directions for this project include a free printable of festive labels.

If you've got coconut oil, sugar, and some essential oils in your pantry, you've got a lovely DIY coconut scrub just waiting to be made!

The beauty of this recipe is that it's super easy to follow and can be easily customized with whatever essential oil scents and blends you want.

For the holidays, we recommend going with either peppermint, orange & clove, or good old reliable lavender.

Homemade Lavender Rosemary Shampoo

You might not think of shampoo as a self-care item, but when it's homemade out of aromatic essential oils, the simple task of washing your hair turns into a spa-like, self-care experience.

Made out of 5 simple pantry ingredients, this shampoo is easy to toss together and can be stored in a classic mason jar.

Or, make these travel-sized for stocking stuffers by putting them in small squeeze bottles.

Homemade Bath Bombs

Believe it or not, bath bombs are another DIY wellness gift that can be made out of some really common grocery items!

The only things you might need to buy are citric acid and the actual bath bomb molds themselves.

For gifts, we think either ginger-clove, lavender, peppermint, or rose essential oil would be best.

Add these bath bombs to a wellness gift basket of bath soaks, a candle, and maybe a nice bottle of red wine.
