This review is from: Gifts for Herb Lovers: Over 50 Projects to Make and Give (Paperback)

This book shows you step by step how to make great gifts using herbs, essential oils, etc. I especially liked learning how to make my own bath salts & making my own tea bags using an herbal blend of tea that I can make myself. Anyone would enjoy receiving the gifts learned from this book. In fact, I love to keep them for myself!

This book is great for herb gardeners. It gives great ideas on what to make with some of those herbs that you thought was just pretty. Now it has uses. Some are great to keep for yourself and some are great to give as a gifts. The book would make a great gift too.
