i was attempting to post this a week or two ago for mothers day — but time totally got away from me. so while this would make the perfect easy little handmade mother’s day gift, if you don’t have time to make for mom day, you can make it for mom birthday instead.

i’ve been wanting to try to DIY bubble bath for a while — then i researched it for a few days, and found out you kind of can’t diy bubble bath. the chemicals that are in the bubble baths we buy are what makes it super bubbly, so instead i settled on a bath soak that gets a little frothy.

once you’ve made your bath products, you can use a label maker to label them, or write on a piece of washi tape. then throw them together in a cute little basket (mine is from here) or box along with a loofah, a little spoon for the scrub and a pretty bar of soap. such a profesh homemade present, right?!

  8. What a perfect gift for any birthday or holiday! I know I would love some bath essentials, especially with these cute labels and scrubs!

  9. Looking forward to making this for my mother ! Could you attach a link to where you bought the containers for both the bath soak and scrub. Thank you!

  10. What essential oils have people tried for the best fragrance? My daughter is pregnant and likes floral scents. She cannot stand cinnamon, spiced, lavender, or the ”linen, ” scents on the market. The other scents give her a headache. I was trying to get back into essential oils to help her with some of her health issues she has been having and I thought she might like this gift but I am having a difficult time picking a scent…sweet orange? Thanks for any help!
