There are only a few days until Christmas, y'all. And I know there are some of you out there who need to bookmark (or Pin!) this post for those last minute/I-totally-forgot-to-get-her-a-gift scenarios.
Over the 6 years I've been blogging at Elle Sees, I've shared with you for FREE around 200 DIY ideas. It's been a fun walk through memory lane--let's not even talk about how awful my pictures used to be!
Many of these recipes have been published in magazines and online, like Buzzfeed and PopSugar. All of them subscribe to my diy philosophy of easy, fast, and inexpensive. Let me know which one of these you'd try:
Sugar Scrubs, Salt Scrubs
Orange Crush Salt Scrub (love this on hands)
Birthday Cake Sugar Scrub
Lemonade Mint Sugar Scrub
Sno-Cones Sugar Scrubs
Coconut Lime Sugar Scrub
Salt Shaving Scrub (use this to exfoliate prior to shaving)
Peppermint Mocha Sugar Scrub (pictured above)
Pina Colada Sugar Scrub (use on feet)
Bath Salts, Solid Perfume, Body Butters
Bath Bombs
Egg Surprise Bath Bombs (toy inside)
Shower Fizzing Bath Bombs (great for when you're sick)
Funfetti Bath Bombs (confetti inside)
Lip Products
DIY Solid Lip Scrub (just like ELF, but you can make this for FREE)
DIY Lip Butters (inspired by Nivea)
DIY Santa's Lip Scrub (just like Lush)
Solid Lotion Bars
These don't get as many views when I post on them, but they're awesome! And I've made marshmallow and chocolate lotion bars on there as well.
Solid Sugar Scrubs
DIY Sprays
DIY Shower Jellies
DIY Candles
DIY Home Crafts
DIY Sleep Sachet
DIY Marble Tray

I went to an Ugly Sweater party--I was the only one who wore an ugly sweater. You can only laugh, right? The funnier thing is that this is the second time this has happened!

So hard to pick a fave, Elle! Honestly, if I had the time, I would love to do all of them! You're always so generous in sharing all these awesome DIYs:)
ReplyDeleteAn ugly sweater party and no one wore an ugly sweater except you?! That's just bad hosting! ;) Love this round-up! You are definitely so talented and creative, and thank you for sharing this with us. :) I've totally run out of steam for making Christmas gifts this year, but I have lots of friends who have January birthdays, so I'm thinking I need to make the pineapple lotion bars!
ReplyDeleteI still can't believe that nobody else wore an ugly sweater to that ugly sweater party! We're currently all dressed up in our ugly sweaters for an ugly sweater party at work, and I'm glad that I wasn't the only one that showed up.
ReplyDeleteI love all your diys! I want all the sugar scrubs and Starbucks ones! I can't believe no one else wore and ugly sweater!

I made one of your Starbucks sugar scrubs a few years ago for myself and two of my friends. My skin always felt amazing after I used it! A few days ago I ordered a few specific ingredients to make my own bath bombs. I can't wait for them to arrive so I can try another of your DIYs. Thanks for putting together such awesome DIYs for your readers!
ReplyDeleteBAM ... a one stop shop right here!
ReplyDeleteSo many awesome ideas!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! I might try the birthday cake scrub or the chocolate salts! Thanks for sharing all of these!
ReplyDeleteYou know I loved the lotion bars and the shower jellies :) So many amazing ideas, so cool to give them on Christmas, as presents! Well deserved to be featured in magazines! I had a very chaotic month, so I bought some forms to do some of your DIYS, but I couldn't :(; but these present suggestions can also be done for birthdays - a nice present stays all year round as a great recommendation!

I love DIY-ing bath stuff and omg I will investigate this peppermint mocha scrub because it's my favourite Starbucks drink. That would be such an amazing present for a peppermint mocha fan (which is almost everyone I know!)
ReplyDeleteMacarons and Mischief
Wait what? How could you have been the only one?! I thought everyone was supposed to wear them because isn't that the fun part of such a gathering? Finding the most obnoxious and hideously festive sweater and wearing it with pride!

These all look so amazing and professional, just like the things you would find in Lush! I'm sure they won't turn out as well if I give them a try but I'm definitely going to give it a go, starting with those lip scrubs! x
ReplyDeleteWhat, you were the only one who had fun with the ugly sweater? That is crazy. I'm not done with my shopping yet so maybe I need to try one of these ideas. I love the DIY candles especially, so fun!
ReplyDeleteI love your DIYs! I have some great things to try out and they would make great gifts as well!
