Martha Stewart's Homemade Holiday Gift Ideas

Bath Salts

After the crazy holiday season, there's no better gift than rest and relaxation. Soothing homemade bath salts will allow your friends and family to kick back and take a breather. 

To make them, combine 3/4 cup Epsom salt, 1/4 cup baking soda and 1 1/2 cups of coarse sea salt. Mix everything in a bowl with a drop of scented oil and add a couple of drops of vegetable food coloring. Mix well to get the color to distribute evenly.

Funnel your salts into a clear bottle, label the scents and you've got a gift that no one would ever guess was made in your kitchen!
