Quick Hack and Holiday Gift: Homemade body scrubs, lotions, oils, bath salts, or bath bombs

http://trueadventuresinmoneyhacking.blogspot.com/2009/12/quick-hack-and-holiday-gift-homemade_09.html

Everybody loves a nice relaxing bath, and I don’t know a female on the planet that doesn’t love receiving bath-related gifts. Last year, I made a batch of each of these, and made bath gift baskets for all my friends and relatives, even the guys (They got manly scented salts and bombs, and they loved them.)

Quick Hack and Holiday Gift: Homemade Hot Cocoa Mixes
http://trueadventuresinmoneyhacking.blogspot.com/2009/12/quick-hack-and-holiday-gift-homemade.html

Recipes for American-style hot cocoa mix, Mexican-style hot cocoa mix, and chocolate syrup—all totally fat free, quick, and easy.

Not only are these recipes quick and cheap hacks that cost significantly less than making hot chocolate with a store-bought dry mix or Hershey syrup, but pair a jar or two of these mixes with a nice mug, a bag of mini marshmallows, and a few candy canes for stirrers, and you’ve got a great, homemade holiday gift.
