Try this idea of Seton’s Simple Pleasures for the Holidays: homemade bubble bath! This is something even tiny kids can make as a present. The trick is to have a pretty container to put it in and to never tell how you made it.

•  2 cups Ivory (or other unscented) dishwashing liquid
• 1/8 ounce of her favorite essential oil (vanilla is my favorite)

Drop oil into the dishwashing liquid and let sit, covered, for 1 week. Pour into beautiful bottle, add gift tag and ribbon, and instructions to use ¼ cup per bath. Makes 8 baths.
