Handmade Christmas Gift Baskets for Kids: Bath and Body Products

Fun Christmas Gift Baskets for Kids that Are Cheap and Easy to Make!

Christmas gift baskets for adults solve many problems like budgeting and what to buy. When it comes to giving children's gifts, however, it can be difficult to come up with inexpensive and fun Christmas gifts kids can appreciate. This year, try putting together fun, simple, Christmas bath and body baskets for the kids on your list.

The recipes suggested here are all made from everyday grocery items that are available in most neighborhood grocery stores. Use these recipes for bath time basket fillers kids will love to use.

Bubble Bath
Bubble bath is an obvious choice for any bath and body Christmas gift basket. These everyday grocery items make making lots of children's bubble bath easy and economical.

Glycerin will likely be the most difficult item to locate. Glycerin is often found in the pharmacy aisle, but may be found in craft sections as well. Glycerin is a byproduct of the soap making process and is added to bath and beauty products as a moisturizer. It is very gentle on the skin, in fact, recommended for sensitive skin. Look for it with melt and pour soap supplies, or order glycerin online through a soap craft supplier.

Ingredients:
1 Cup Liquid Soap
½ Cup Mild, sudsy shampoo or baby shampoo
1 Tablespoon Glycerin
1 Tablespoon baby oil

Combine all ingredients in a clean, covered, plastic bottle. Shake to combine the ingredients and let sit for an hour or so before dividing further into decorative containers.
*TIP: For tear free bubble bath, use tear free baby shampoo. Soap safe fragrance can be added if desired, but is best to leave out if the child's skin is sensitive (the fragrance of the shampoo may be enough).

Bath Paint
There's nothing to making these fun bathtub paints, but your young Christmas gift basket receivers will have a blast with them. You'll have no trouble finding the two ingredients on this bath and body product list.

Ingredients:
2 Tablespoons Liquid Soap
Food Coloring

Measure liquid soap into small containers and add food coloring to make pastel paint colors. Repeat in several containers for each desired color.
