If your already making a few things to use on your own baby you must have some level of confidence in them.   As long as you know they are made correctly and if a preservative is needed and your using the appropriate one how about gifts for close friends and family.  

Before I started selling, my friends and family received tons of samples and they were all wanted and appreciated as well.    They still get samples just because I like to share.  And it just tickles me to death that I have learned to to take individucal ingredients, weigh them correctly and in the right amounts together and when they are mixed up I can create a new awesome product!    Gets me every time I make a batch of soap, or lotions or an emulsifyed scrub etc..........   Even still after all this time.

And it's also fun searching how to make something new.  Seeing different recipes, and learning to adapt them to meet my own needs and what I want to get out of a product.   Then formulating my own recipes......  I love that process.......

But many people actually love to get handmade bath and body products as gifts.  Or just to try out.......   Something new and fun.

LOL Now i even give my kids teachers my handmade products as gifts.  Even for valentines day they recieved a beautiful bar of handmade soap wraped in pretty valentine print fabric instead of candy.    I know many of them are trying to watch what they eat, and knew they would plenty of that from the others.  So I wanted to be different.   They all loved it !!!
