Holiday Spice Bath Salts

At my MOPS meeting today, we made the best smelling bath salts--A really nice, inexpensive homemade gift!!  

Here's what you'll need:

To whip a batch, mix together:

1.5 C epsom salt

2 T brown sugar

1 t cinnamon

1/2 t ginger

1/4 t cloves

Mix well in a bowl.  That's it!

For a low cost option, place into a little plastic holiday bag, tie with ribbon & gift tag.  If you had a little scoop (the ones in formula containers would work great), you could put that inside.

 Or, for a little bit more cost, you could put it in 8 oz. quilted jelly jars.  In fact, the recipe above yielded the perfect amount for two jars.  

Tie a little ribbon around the lid, put on a cute little label, and give away to enjoy (and maybe keep a jar for yourself too!)  

 I found the basis for the label here and then added text.  Click on the picture to download for a free download of these labels.

ENJOY! 

Note:  Since I just made these this morning, I have yet to actually try them in the bath.  In the jar, they smell festive and heavenly, so I can only imagine the same is true in warm water.

Caution:  Some people have skin sensitivities to cinnamon, ginger, and/or cloves.  Discontinue use if skin irritation occurs.
