You can make gifts with bath salts using them. They are adorable with your homemade salts and label.
homemade bath salts
For the Bath Salts Recipes -
one cup epsom salts or 1/4 cup sea salt, 1/4 cup
baking soda
a dash food coloring
1 or 2 teaspoons of glycerin per jar - optional, but glycerin is an effective skin moisturizer and a nice addition
a couple drops essential oils (I don't always add this, some people don't like the overpowering scent.)

Epsom salts and sea salt are soothing for tired muscles, while both will gently soften the water for a luxurious bath experience. You could also add a tablespoon or two of finely ground regular oatmeal (not quick cooking) for silky, skin-softening water.
Mix together and put in glass jar. Make a label listing ingredients, add a scoop if you want on a ribbon ( i use the scoops that come in gateraid mix)
