DIY Gift Inspiration
Homemade gifts are a great way of showing people you care. You can create thoughtful and unique gifts specifically tailored to your loved ones tastes. They can also be great when you need a gift in a hurry and don’t have time to pop to the shops! Making gifts can also be a really cost effective way of creating something beautiful on a budget.

These little sweet treats will make a perfect Christmas gift! You can leave them uncovered or you can dip and coat in chocolate. This is a great recipe to make with kids!
Make your regular bath a real lush spa experience with this simple recipe! We combined lavender and geranium essential oils with Himalayan pink salts to make our relaxing bath salts. It’s super simple to make, and makes a truly special gift for your loved ones. You can switch up the essential oils depending on the type of salts your want to make. How about invigorating rosemary and lemongrass? Or sweet orange and cinnamon?
Pop your salts into a nice glass jar and tie a pretty ribbon around it for extra special presentation points!
These delicious, melt-in-your-mouth orange chocolate truffles are creamy but vegan, and sweet but sugar-free! This is a great present to make if you are looking to make multiple gifts. They are super easy to make and oh so delicious!
These delicious, buttery, nutty cookies are vegan and sugar-free! We love batch cooking these little cookies and giving them away for Christmas. They are so pretty to look at and they taste incredible.
Make these amazing chocolate almonds at home using just 2 ingredients! They are one of the easiest homemade gifts to make, and you can switch up the flavours and add the recipients favourite flavours! We used plain chocolate but you can use different flavours – dark chocolate and orange or peppermint or salted caramel.
The combination of crunchy macadamias, the creamy, delicate sweetness of white chocolate and just a touch of salt creates something we think is the perfect chewy cookie! We think cookies are one of the nicest gifts to give, plus fresh baked cookies make your house smell incredible!
Our mini pecan pies are the perfect surprise gift. They are a healthier twist on the classic recipe – we ditched the high fructose corn syrup and used coconut sugar and maple syrup instead, meaning these little pies have a gorgeous caramel flavour which really compliments the sweetness of the pecans.
Our sloe gin requires a bit of forward thinking as you need to let this brew for a few months but it makes such a wonderful homemade gift. You can also keep the berries and use them again to make sloe port!
Traditionally sloe gin is made with fresh sloe berries. But our Sussex Wholefoods Dried Sloe Berries work fantastically well too! We recommend soaking the berries overnight, and then pricking them before steeping them in the gin. This allows the flavours of the berry to really infuse into the sugar and alcohol.
Our blooming rose body scrub is really easy to make and smells incredible. The coarse Himalayan salt exfoliates skin, whilst the coconut oil nourishes and soothes. Why not make our relaxing bath salts, our blissful bath bombs, calming flax seed face mask this and create a pamper hamper for your loved ones!
Our ‘Get the Glow’ face mask naturally exfoliates the skin with 100% biodegradable ingredients. Meaning it’s a gift to your skin and the environment! Make sure you sterilise the jar before you add the mask to ensure you don’t introduce bacteria into the mixture.
