Doesn’t it seem like the holidays have gotten completely out of control? I don’t even have a television, and I feel the hectic, desperate push of the holiday shopping season. Years ago, I decided to quit buying gifts. But that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy gifting. Those closest to me receive small homemade gifts. In the spirit of giving, and for the love of herbal medicine, I put together this list of 25 inspiring ideas for simple homemade herbal gifts.
