Festive craft session #1

I'm not quite doing 'buy nothing Christmas' this year, but 'make almost everything' is a pretty accurate description of what I'm going for.

Today's shopping:
-Huge pot of coconut oil (established that the independent health food store does this cheaper than the chain one, nice)
-Box of rock salt (ironically it is from Essex, so if we give any to Ducki's family members it will have done a round trip)
-Bag of coarse pink salt crystals
-Bag of fine pink salt crystals
-Half a dozen bottles of essential oil of various sorts - didn't go out intending to get quite so many, but they were on two for three!
-Plastic clip-shut pots and zip-seal sandwich bags
-Christmassy (in a secular way) sticky gift labels

I've made a few batches of bath salts and one of melts already.

So that's what I do when I get time off at the moment! I'm hoping that constantly inhaling aromatherapy oils does me some good...
