This Christmas, give gifts made with love, creativity, and a personal touch.
There’s something truly special about receiving a gift someone made just for you, especially when it’s crafted with natural ingredients, a splash of creativity, and a lot of heart.
Instead of the usual rush of last-minute shopping and endless wrapping paper, this year’s challenge is simple: slow down, create, and give consciously. With a few beautiful, natural ingredients from Naissance, you can make thoughtful, planet-friendly gifts that feel good to give and even better to receive.
Here are three simple, sustainable ideas to get you started, all easy to make at home, and all infused with love.
1. Calming Geranium Rose Bath Salts
For the friend who deserves a little peace and quiet.
These bath salts look as good as they feel. The gentle floral aroma of Geranium Rose helps ease tension, while Himalayan Pink Salt soothes muscles and softens skin. Perfect for anyone who could use a calm moment in the middle of festive chaos.
You’ll need:
-
1 cup Naissance Fine Himalayan Pink Salt (or Epsom Salt)
-
1 tbsp Naissance Sweet Almond Oil
-
6–8 drops Naissance Geranium Rose Essential Oil
-
Optional: a sprinkle of dried rose petals for colour and scent
How to:
-
Mix the salt and oil in a clean, dry bowl.
-
Add the essential oil and stir gently.
-
If using rose petals, fold them through.
-
Transfer to a glass jar, seal tightly, and label.
Tip: Combine fine and coarse Himalayan Pink Salt for a subtle exfoliating texture and a prettier layered look.
Gift tag idea: “I’m your reminder to slow down. Pour me into a warm bath and just breathe.”
2. Winter Glow Face Serum
For glowing skin, even on the coldest days.
A few drops of this lightweight facial oil bring instant hydration and radiance. The blend of Jojoba, Rosehip, and Vitamin E supports winter skin, helping it stay soft, balanced, and luminous.
You’ll need:
-
1 tbsp Naissance Golden Jojoba Oil
-
1 tbsp Naissance Rosehip Oil
-
2–3 drops Naissance Vitamin E Oil
-
Optional: 1 drop Frankincense or Geranium Rose Essential Oil for a gentle scent
How to:
-
Combine all ingredients in a small amber dropper bottle.
-
Shake gently to mix.
-
Store somewhere cool and away from sunlight.
Tip: Make two versions. One with a few drops of Frankincense for a grounding evening blend, and one with Sweet Orange for a morning glow boost.
Gift tag idea: “I’m your daily dose of calm and glow. A few drops, a deep breath, and the world can wait.”
3. Nourishing Hair & Scalp Care Kit
For glossy hair and a little moment of calm.
A simple pre-wash treatment that hydrates, soothes, and restores shine naturally. It’s perfect for dry or dull hair and makes a lovely “home-spa” gift when paired with a brush or head wrap.
You’ll need:
-
2 tbsp Naissance Fractionated Coconut Oil
-
1 tbsp Naissance Castor Oil
-
5 drops Naissance Lavender Essential Oil
-
3 drops Naissance Cedarwood Essential Oil
-
A small glass bottle or jar
How to:
-
Combine the oils in a clean bottle and shake gently.
-
Warm a few drops between your palms.
-
Massage into the scalp and through the ends.
-
Leave for at least 30 minutes (or overnight), then wash as usual.
Tip: Add a reusable bamboo headband and handwritten tag for an elegant finishing touch.
Gift tag idea: “I’m here to bring your hair back to life and remind you to care for yourself too.”
Make It Personal, Make It Planet-Friendly
Homemade gifts aren’t just beautiful, they’re better for the planet too.
Reuse jars, bottles, and ribbons you already have. Keep your wrapping simple: brown kraft paper, twine, or a sprig of dried herbs. Every small choice adds up to a kinder, calmer Christmas.
When you make something by hand, you’re not just giving a gift, you’re giving your time, creativity, and care. That’s what makes it magical.
Make it Magical, Make it Yours.
