Nothing says “I care” like a homemade gift—something that takes time, love, and energy to create. Receiving a jar of freshly made cranberry-orange preserves or a batch of warm chocolate chip cookies is so thoughtful, but what other creative, DIY gifts can you give your friends and family members?
Well, for starters, why not try incorporating CBD oil into your homemade gifts? There are loads of different DIY projects that include cannabidiol. If you’ve got friends or family who use CBD regularly, these gifts will surely be a hit. (Click to Tweet)
Cannabidiol offers a host of different benefits, so these gifts won't just be pleasant to use. They’ll offer something valuable to the recipient as well, keeping them healthy and happy through the holiday season!

Many people would agree that it’s much more meaningful to spend time with loved ones and would prefer to receive a homemade gift as opposed to something store-bought. This tends to make people feel special during the holidays, knowing that you chose to spend time creating or cooking something instead of going out and buying something.
DIY gifts are becoming more popular, especially since so many of us have been spending more time at home by ourselves and not necessarily out shopping with the crowds for the holidays. Not only do they make the recipient feel appreciated, but they are also pretty fun to make, too. Handcrafted gifts that also offer the benefits of cannabidiol? Now that’s a winner.
Let’s get right into it:
For these DIY projects, we recommend always using a regular high-quality CBD oil; you can also use liposomal CBD in certain recipes when it makes sense to do so. Liposomes are protective fat bubbles that surround the CBD molecules, which helps CBD reach the bloodstream faster and more efficiently since liposomes protect the cannabidiol. It essentially prevents the CBD from being broken down or damaged in the stomach.
You can DIY so many different CBD gifts, from creamy body balms to exfoliating sugar scrubs and everything in between. Take a look at some of our favorite DIY holiday CBD gifts to try out this year!
Help your loved ones truly relax this year with an extra-special treat crafted especially for alone time. If you’ve ever taken a look at CBD bath bombs, you know that they can get a bit pricey, especially ones that use high-quality cannabidiol.
Why buy a CBD bath bomb when you can make them? Baths are great, CBD is great, and a CBD bath combines the warmth and comfort of slipping down into a hot bath with the relief that cannabidiol has to offer: relaxed muscles, reduced congestion, reduced stress, and improved blood flow!

This is just one of many hand-crafted gift basket ideas.
This recipe is for one large bath bomb or a couple of smaller-sized ones.

You’ll need just a handful of ingredients for a fantastic homemade gift for your husband, brother, father, or friends!
Four basic elements are required to create a great beard balm. They include:
The beeswax provides hold for styling and helps retain moisture, ultimately keeping the beard protected and healthy. The butter, which is often shea or cocoa, provides moisture and substance as well as improving the spreadability of the balm, making it much easier to use and incorporate into the entire beard. Carrier oils work to keep the beard soft and looking lush. Essential oils are primarily for smell; however, some also offer various benefits.

This is where things get more interesting:
Tea tree is truly a magical ingredient when it comes to hair health, beards included. Due to dirt and sweat, your pores may get clogged—and tea tree oil can gently unclog them, relieving irritation and redness. It also may be able to control inflammation found in the pores and get rid of ingrown hairs. CBD is excellent for the skin as well!

Chocolate peppermint bark is something many of us love to snack on around the holidays. The minty freshness with smooth, rich chocolate is a match made in heaven! If you’ve got chocolate lovers on your gift list this year, you simply have to try out this recipe.
If peppermint isn’t your favorite, we’ve also got a bunch of other flavor add-ons for you to try!
Liposomal CBD may be a good choice for a recipe like this, since the dish does not have to be baked. It can be left in the fridge or at room temperature to harden, meaning you don’t have to worry about the heat being too much for the liposomal cannabidiol to stand up to.

Using a liposomal formula will help the CBD molecules bypass the digestive system, which is where bioactive components of the cannabidiol are broken down or rejected. Ultimately, this gives you a stronger, more effective dose of CBD.
You can add practically anything you like to this chocolate CBD bark, which makes it even more of a thoughtful, personal gift. What’s better than gifting your legume-loving friend some PB, peanut, & dark chocolate CBD bark for the holidays? (Click to Tweet)
Follow the steps below to make this tasty, versatile, and simple holiday treat:
If you’re wanting to add peanut butter to your bark, simply place dollops of the PB onto your melted chocolate and use a butter knife to swirl it carefully throughout the whole sheet. Be sure to do this while the chocolate is still relatively warm. Then add your other ingredients on top of that.
Not only does this taste fantastic, but it may also help you feel cool, calm, and collected after the stress and rush of the holidays. This is one of our favorite DIY gift ideas!
