I made up some of my homemade laundry detergent for my sister's birthday in the spring and put together this little "laundry day" gift basket with it.
Here's the recipe:
1 pretty basket
1 package natural color shred
1 batch homemade laundry detergent
1 jar and 1/8 c scoop for laundry detergent
1 spray bottle filled with all natural biodegradable softener
1 washcloth as a reusable dryer sheet (embroidery optional - it was embroidered with the words "Dryer Sheet" with some flowers on it)
1 cute little wood sign to brighten any laundry area
1 pair of super soft and comfy lounge pants
1 stack of yankee candle tarts
2-3 clothes pins stuck on the tags
ribbon and tags

(I also included a tag with the detergent recipe on it so she could make more)"Reusable Dryer Sheet"
"Dryer Sheet Spray" "Spray several times per dryer load" "non toxic biodegradable"
"Once the laundry is in....relax with some smell goods"
"Laundry Day Lounging Pants"
To Assemble:Place shred in basket. Tie ribbons around each item attaching each tag. Place items in basket. Stick the cute sign in the basket. Clip on a few clothes pins to the cards and wrap with cellophane and a raffia bow.

Very Cute and creative!
I just recently found your site and have really enjoyed it. I really love this idea and as well can't wait to try the homemade Laundry soap. I am in the process of doing as much “from scratch” that I can. We like so many must make financial changes and this will bless my family!!! THANK YOU!!
Did I miss your post on the "Dryer Sheet Spray"? I'd love to know how you make it!
I like giving gift baskets. Thanks for the creative idea!
Thank you! Thank you! I have made the laundry detergent recipe from your site and LOVE it. I was so excited about it I wanted to give it away as a gift too, but I didn't want the recipient to think I was weird and/or think I thought they needed to wash their clothes. This is a great idea...and very cute!
