I recently co-hosted a bridal shower, and I found myself looking for a party favor idea. I needed something that wouldn’t break our budget, but that wouldn’t be a complete drag.
The perfect balance came in the form of DIY soap. I found a recipe that was both simple and convenient, and I was on my way!
It was simple because it involved only a few steps:
- Make a super-concentrated herbal infusion.
- Melt the soap base (I used goat’s milk glycerin).
- Mix the two, adding in some oils and herbs.
- Pour and cool.
It was convenient because the two main ingredients, lavender and rosemary, are fixtures in my garden. Even more special, considering the reason for our party: the lavender was a gift from my partner to me at my own bridal shower in 2013.
Overall, I think the favor was a hit. It was inexpensive and easy to make, to boot. DIY win!
Of course, in the process, I couldn’t resist taking a few photos:
