I’m a huge lavender fan, so I love all things lavender. If you have someone on your gift list who loves herbs, or specifically loves lavender, I have some gift ideas to share with you today.
If you grew some lavender in your garden this summer you can make your own lavender gifts, if you didn’t I also have a few gift ideas you can buy.
One of my favorite lavender gifts is lavender bath bags, they’re easy to make with some dried lavender blooms and oatmeal, you can check out this lavender bath bag recipe if you’d like to make your own.
Lavender bottles are another cute and simple lavender gift idea. Just take some old glass medicine bottles, or some other kind of tall slender bottle. Place a bundle of lavender in the bottle, cut them so the heads can peek out the top of the bottle. Or you can give the lavender bundles themselves as the gift.
Lavender soap is another wonderful gift idea, if you’d like to make your own try this recipe for lavender mint soap.
You can also purchase or make a handmade lavender wreath. I love this square lavender leaf from Elegantholidays at Etsy.
What’s your favorite lavender gift idea?
