    Gifting Sugar and Salts

    by Teri Lyn Fisher · Published: Dec 3, 2019 · Modified: Nov 18, 2020

    Several bowls of different salt mixes with wooden spoons.

    I’m a big fan of DIY gifts for the holidays. Firstly, the best gifting DIYs are the ones you can make big batches of. Second, they make perfect hostess gifts for all of the holiday parties you attend, co workers, or any of those small but hard to buy gifts you need for people. This year we decided to make a these really pretty Gifting Sugar and Salts. They are really easy to make, and beautiful! And best of all, no cooking required. YAY! We packaged them up to make them a really nice gift, but you definitely do not have to go that far with it.

    Bowl, jar, and bag of mixed salt gifts.

    Jars and lids with printed labels.

    Several sheets of printed labels.
    I purchased a dozen of these little reusable canisters from Amazon.
    I also printed all the labels I got from Avery We Print, because they print them for you and they look good, it’s easy and not crazy expensive, and there are no minimums. I used 1.5″ round labels like these. The jar tops are about 2″.

    You can find the labels that correspond to the recipes below right here:
    Vanilla + Rose Sugar
    Lavender Rosemary + Black Pepper Sea Salt
    Calendula + Fennel Thyme Sea Salt 

    I ordered some reusable produce bags to “wrap” my gifting sugar and salt from Cool and Mellow on Etsy in the 8 x 10 size.

    I used these spoons from Sir and Madam, but these are less expensive and also great!

    A variety of wooden spoons.
    I used these dried rabbit tails and these dried grasses to tie together with my wood spoon. I used hemp string to tie everything together.

    I really love this gifting sugar and salt DIY! It’s really easy, and super pretty. Recipes for the salts and sugar are below!

      Do you have any hot tips for ways to use these? My preschool class is making these for parent gifts for Christmas. I’m sure some of them will scratch their heads. I’m thinking the lavendar, rosemary, salt and pepper is good with chicken? Thanks!
