We all have that one friend or family member who are impossible to buy gifts for! Nothing you can buy in a store seems like it’ll be suitable for them. Enter a homemade gift. Even the fussiest of people appreciate the thought and effort that goes into handmaking a gift. It is much more valuable than any gift that can be bought!
We have come up with a super easy DIY lip balm recipe in a fresh peppermint flavour that literally everyone would find handy. We’ve also created round, editable tin labels and a card for gifting. Print out the round labels on sticker paper or on regular paper and then stick onto your lip balm tins. Ta-da! Your DIY gift is done!
These DIY gifts make great teacher gifts, client gifts or gifts for friends and family for every occasion.
The Recipe: DIY Peppermint Lip Balm
We created an easy-to-follow tutorial of how we made the lip balm which you can checkout below, along with the video tutorial!
