Make Christmas gifts for adults – aromatic bathing balls

Our first idea for Last Minute Christmas Gift for Adults, is to make fragrant bath balls by yourself. When they come into contact with the hot water in the bathtub, they dissolve bubbly and release their pleasant aroma. The small bath bombs also contain oils and for this reason, they also have a nourishing effect on the skin. To prepare it yourself, follow our recipe:
– 180g of soda
– 65g corn starch
– 120g Epsom salt
– 90g citric acid
– 1 tbsp water
– 10 drops of fragrance oil of your choice
– 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil of your choice
– Food coloring as desired
In a bowl, combine the baking soda with the citric acid, food coloring, cornstarch and salt. In a separate bowl, mix the oils with the water and add this solution to the soda-salt mixture. Mix everything together well until a homogeneous, dry mass is obtained. From this you can use your hands to make balls of the desired size or use small molds and lightly press the mass in with your fingers. Let the finished bath bombs harden for 2-3 days and wrap them airtight. Finished!

Make Christmas gifts for adults – paint cups with nail polish

A great Christmas gift for couples are two self-decorated coffee cups. For the purpose you can use special porcelain paints, which you could find in the hobby shop, but if you only have little time, just use the good old nail polish! You need:

– 1 white coffee cup (if possible without ornaments)
– 2 colors of nail polish (optional)
– Craft glue Mod Podge
– Disposable bowl
– Water
– Brush

Fill the bowl with water and add several drops of the two nail polish colors. Now take the cup and dip it halfway into the water by making slight circular movements. Remove these and let them dry on kitchen paper before applying a thin layer of Mod Podge craft glue to the brush. Already finished!

Make Christmas gifts for adults – great wrist rest sewing itself

You have a friend / girlfriend who spends a lot of time in front of the computer? Then you can make an original wrist rest for him, which is also a perfect variant of the Last Minute Christmas present. You need:
– Fabric in any pattern
– sewing thread
– pillow filling
– 2 four-hole buttons
– Needle and scissors
Firstly, you should sew a simple pillow harness out of the fabric – this can be done on the sewing machine or by hand. You could decorate the cover by sewing the two buttons side by side – it is best to connect the four holes so that the thread looks like a cross at the end. Make another floor-like stitching for the mouth and fill the cover with the pillow filling. Finally sew the ends together, and you’re done!
