10 Easy Herbal Gifts to Share and Enjoy
This post may contain affiliate links. Read my full disclosure here.
Those who know me are familiar with my habit of running just a bit late. (I blame it on the boys. Before I had kids I used to be on time or early – honest!) As we hit the middle of December, I’m still working on presents for friends and neighbors. Homemade jams and jellies, hard lotion bars, homemade perfume, fresh baked bread and homemade fudge and truffles have all been well received.
10 Easy Herbal Gifts
This year I’m mixing things up a little with some herbal recipes from The Herbal Academy, plus a few of my own. These easy herbal gifts are great for the holidays or any time of year, and quick enough that you may just want to make up extra to keep for yourself.

Relax away all your stress with these DIY Lavender Bath Salts.
Homemade Body Butter

I love learning more about the uses of herbs! Teach me all you’ve got!,
Especially interested in herbs that normalize and body the body systems
I am trying hard to learn all I can about using herbs just by my own research. This course would be a giant step forward for me.
Trying to learn as much as I can, apply what I learn and become more Herb wise … be of best service to myself and those closest to me … in my family and community! Thank you for the opportunity and the resources! Many Blessings!
I love these herbal gift ideas!
I have had a life-long fascination with herbs. My father was a naturalist and took my sister and I on all manner of interesting natural explorations. I want add to this basis and pass down herbal wisdom to my children as well. I have recieved Herbal Academy of New England’s newsletter for a while now and they are legit. I was much enjoy taking this course. Thanks for the opportunity and the posts!

I would love to learn the best herbal remedies and what to put together to help with different issues for family and friends. Great learning opportunity here.
Would love to win this! I just started experimenting with making homemade stuff but would love to take a course and learn more!
Thank you for this opportunity. The gift ideas alone were out of this world (and thanks for providing the nice labels).
I would love to get on board and learn more on adaptogens as well as all the rest!!!
What a fantastic way to learn something new. Thank you so much for this opportunity <3
Great giveaway! I’d love to learn about creating healthy alternatives to toxic OTC “remedies”.
Thanks,
Tasha
I grow a few simple herbs but I hardly ever use them. I need to learn more so I can do more.
I would love to further my knowledge of using herbs for health and wellness, would love to start growing them and incorporating them into everyday life. I know some basics but have a desire to learn much more. Thank you for the opportunity!
I’d like to learn more about growing and using herbs, especially medicinally.
My great-grandmother never took prescription medication, until her stroke in 1981, and she couldn’t verbally refuse it. Her daughter, my grandmother, was a nurse who always touted home remedies, before prescriptions. Had I been smart, I would have learned more from them, before they passed, within 3&1/2 months of each other. I did learn a few things that kept my babies out of the doctors office, and made being a mother so much easier. I would learn through you course, so that I can pass this knowledge on to my family,(I am now a great-grandmother). I want them to know that the best way, is the natural way.
Wonderful gifts! Would love to learn more about making herbal stuff for my family’s well-being – we don’t have that many options in my country, except for rather expensive courses, which is not an option for me these years….
I already LOVE growing different kinds of herbs but I want to learn how to use them to help heal different aliments. What a great giveaway. Thank you.
I would love to begin to develop a more cohesive mindview towards working with herbs…right now I feel like everything is pretty piecemeal for me due to scattered research. I think that working through a self-study would begin to build a firmer foundation!
What a fantastic prize! Would be so thrilled to win this one ♥
