A perishable gift list
[Chapter: Food, Living]
I really really like to give these perishables as gifts, for Christmas (or for other occasions), and hopefully spread the message of natural goodness:
- Coconut oil
I’ve read about the many benefits here and currently I use this for frying. Can be used for baking as well. I hope to try other brands like Fresh Shores and Tropical Traditions. - Miso paste
A good source of the favorable genistein, a soy isoflavone. - Green tea powder
This green superpower must be used within 5-6 months. - Evening primrose oil or fish oil
Great for dry skin and flaky heels, especially during the cold season. - Tea tree oil or aloe vera gel
Perfect for cuts, burns, rashes and unexpected breakouts. Tea tree can be used to kill fungus and mold not only on the skin but also eliminate those lurking in humid corners around the house. - Bamboo charcoal
Comes in desiccant/deodorant packs like these. The bamboo charcoal, which is charcoal derived from burning bamboo, can be buried on the ground or mixed in compost when it can no longer be reused.
I will attach a note with each gift, listing the benefits and other bits of details.
What kind of perishables do you like to give?

LOVE all your natural gifts–and how you wrap and label them with handy note/tips. I used to make bath salts and scrubs to give to my girl friends for the holidays using natural ingredients like sugars, bees wax and scented oils. But now most of my natural giving is food items made in my ktichen and prettily wrapped–and with note when to consume by, etc. Happy Days ((HUGS))

Clara your gifts are soooooo beautiful!! I just adore the natural wrapping…lovely!
I love Lavender, and use lavender oil quite a bit. I love to make tiny sachet pillows filled with lavender blossoms and a few drops of oil. Tuck this small pillow just inside your pillow case, the lavender causes a much better sleep and smells wonderful! Thank you so much for your tips and I will visit the sites. I really want to learn more about the coconut oil. Thanks! :o)
