While our mothers may be the ones who come to mind first, it’s important not to forget about the special grandmothers in our lives this Mother’s Day!
There are countless options available in the market, but nothing beats a homemade gift. Trust me, a thoughtful and personalized gift is 100 times more special than anything you can buy from the store.
So, all of the ideas below are unique and heartfelt DIY recipes for grandmas. From baked goods to self-care products, these gifts are sure to bring a smile to her face!
1. Himalayan salt scrub recipe
Treat your grandma to a little self-care with a Himalayan salt scrub. This natural scrub is perfect for exfoliating and nourishing the skin, leaving it soft, smooth, and radiant. The scrub can help remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and promote circulation.
The ingredients used in this DIY recipe are simple, natural, and cost-effective. The scrub only requires 3 ingredients, making it easy to make and perfect for gifting!
2. DIY bath salts
DIY bath salts are an easy, inexpensive, and thoughtful gift that is sure to make your grandma feel loved.
This herbal bath salt recipe combines the soothing properties of Epsom salts, the relaxing aroma of lavender (or whatever you choose), and the skin-nourishing benefits of coconut oil.
Another great idea is these homemade bath bombs!
If your grandma isn’t into baths, you can make her this DIY foot soak recipe with a foot soaking tub for a little spa day!
3. Homemade beeswax candles
Making your own candles is simple and rewarding, as it allows you to customize the scent and packaging of the candles – just for your grandma! These homemade beeswax candles make a beautiful gift!
Beeswax is a natural substance that burns cleaner than paraffin wax and purifies the air in your room, so you don’t have to worry about any harmful chemicals being released!
I’ve made homemade candles before using different essential oils (eucalyptus, citrus, and lavender), and lavender was by far my favorite scent!
4. Coconut flour cookies
Baking cookies may seem simple, but it will mean a lot to your grandma that you took the time to make them yourself, and nothing beats homemade cookies! I have 3 different options for you:
These coconut flour sugar cookies are crisp and perfect for decorating! The coconut flour adds a unique and yummy flavor, and makes these a slightly healthier version of your classic sugar cookie!
Or, you can always go with the classic, no-fail coconut flour chocolate chip cookies!
And if you have any leftover candy from Easter, you could make these adorable chocolate coconut nest cookies (birds nest cookies)!
5. Coconut oil fudge
Coconut and chocolate is a match made in heaven!
And this decadent coconut oil fudge recipe uses healthy natural ingredients like coconut oil, cocoa powder, raw honey, and vanilla extract. Plus, it can be tweaked for any special dietary needs if she has them.
6. DIY vanilla extract
If your grandma is a baker, she probably uses a lot of vanilla extract.
Homemade vanilla extract is so easy to make and tastes SO much better than the fake vanilla extract you buy from the store.
The longer the vanilla beans sit, the better, so this can take a while (anywhere from 4-6 months), but the results are worth it!
7. DIY body wash
I love easy DIYs and this natural homemade body wash couldn’t be easier to make!
This recipe comes together with 3 simple ingredients: coconut oil, raw honey, and Castile soap to gently cleanse the skin.
If you want, you can add plant-based essential oils to make a lavender, citrus, or vanilla honey body wash!
8. Coconut oil lotion bars
Coconut oil is an amazing moisturizer! It has so many health benefits, like reducing skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. It also softens the skin, relieves dryness and flaking, and helps prevent wrinkles, saggy skin, and age spots.
Learn how to make coconut oil lotion bars with this easy recipe that uses natural, high-quality ingredients.
