9 Homemade Herbal Gifts

Are you looking for DIY herbal gift ideas? Making and giving homemade herbal gifts is a wonderful way to celebrate the earth’s harvest and create something beautiful and meaningful. I’ve been crafting these handmade herbal gifts for years, and they are always a hit! Many of these simple projects are fun for the kids to make, too.

#1 Cherry Chocolate Treats

This is one of my favorite homemade herbal gifts. I have made these chocolate treats for years and everyone asks for them! They are so easy to prepare, yet everyone thinks it takes more effort than it does. These delicious treats contain healthy fats, antioxidant-rich chocolate, mineral-rich dried fruit, and natural sweeteners.

#2 Chili Oil

This chili oil is one of the most used condiments in our home. Everyone is addicted to it and we put it on scrambled eggs, soups, steamed veggies, and more. Unlike some chili oil recipes that take weeks to infuse, this recipe takes only a day or two. If you know someone who likes spicy food, they are going to enjoy this!

#3 Healing Flower Bath Tea Bags

Herbal bath tea bags are a wonderful way to share your love of herbs with others. They are easy to make and you can make dozens at a time. Put them in a decorative jar with a label and instructions and give them to your family and friends. I have been making these homemade herbal gifts for years and everyone loves them.

#4 Herbal Chai Honey

Give a jar of this herbal chai honey and your recipient will be able to make a cup of instant chai whenever they want. This non-caffeinated herbal chai recipe is a yummy treat and afternoon pick-me-up. Just stir it into hot water for a cup of comforting tea. (This ashwagandha evening chai blend makes a great gift, too!)

#7 Herbal Sprinkles

I have an entire chapter on herbal sprinkle recipes in my book, The Herbal Kitchen. By far the most popular sprinkle that people have loved the most is my Red Powder Herbal Sprinkle. It’s a delicious addition to everything from rice to eggs, smoothies, oatmeal, and winter squash.

#9 Medicinal Wreaths

This lesson was shot as a live stream, so it isn’t the best video quality, but it’s worth a watch. I guide you step by step in how to make a wreath and the healing qualities that your wreath can add to your home environment. You can use many different wreath materials like evergreen, bay, eucalyptus, rosemary, sage, oregano, yarrow, willow, and more.
