A great gift idea, and all around fun item to make!
We just had a new sale at the shop the other day, with a gift basket that I just adore making. I thought it may be nice to jump back in and discuss what makes this stand out in my mind as a great gift, and a fun project.
When I first started getting more knowledgeable about herbs and their healing properties, I was newly pregnant. I had been working at an OBGYN’s office and had access to opinions 24/7. As a side note I chose a midwife for my care perhaps I’ll expand on that in a later blog, a new world was illuminated before me. My midwife was exactly what I needed, she was confidant, calm, and extremely understanding. (I was for sure getting an epidural as a part of my baby plan, in fact that was the only item on my baby plan) So I needed someone that understood what I wanted for me. My midwife had asked what would make me comfortable, I gave her my list, and she said “you know best!” Working with her through my entire pregnancy was wonderful. And through the entire experience I learned all about the healing power of herbs and how they can help. She is definitely the reason I am such a big believer in how when properly researched and prepped, herbs and tinctures can save the day!
This is something I dedicate to all new mothers out there:
