The recipe makes enough bath mix to fill three handkerchiefs.


Present this easy mix in an elegant jar or wrapped in pretty handkerchief sachets tied with ribbon. At bathtime, add the contents of a sachet to running water.
You'll find the ingredients for all these fragrant gifts in health food stores and shops selling aromatherapy supplies.

You'll need:
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup powdered milk
3 tbsp ground almonds
15 drops strawberry perfume oil
Lace-edged or embroidered handkerchiefs
Organza ribbon

Here's how:
Step 1 Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add the strawberry perfume oil and mix thoroughly.
Step 2 Place one-third of the mixture in the centre of a handkerchief, draw up the edges and tie firmly with a ribbon. Finish ends in a bow.
