These soy wax melts are a perfect example. Set of Four Soy Wax Melts by Crushes ($12): Christmas is an excellent time to give and receive those little luxurious things that smell nice but which are hard to justify buying for oneself.

Matakana organic coconut oil is a good shout for sustainability and fair trade, but there are cheaper alternatives in supermarkets available. That’s it! Put it in a used jam/marmite/pasta sauce jar you have leftover and you’re done. It consists of 1 cup of sugar to 2 tablespoons of base oil, then add whatever scent you’d like from an essential oil. My favourite is this recipe from blogger Kiwi Country Girl for a sugar scrub.

The only issues of course, are the time and energy resources you have available. If you know the ingredients you’re using are local and/or ethically-sourced, then even better. Homemade Sugar Scrub (from $2.75 per jar): As a rule, the cheapest and most sustainable gifts on offer will be those that are homemade.
