For Him: Home Made Lip Balm
By DatingSOS Editor • Sep 27th, 2008 • Category: Gift ideas, Less than $25
Here is a cute and relatively inexpensive gift idea for men. Make your own lip balm at home, and pour it into ‘manly’ looking packaging. For example, a cool pill box.
The easiest lip balm recipe involves using petroleum jelly as a base. For a lip balm even men like, keep it simple and stay away from berry flavors:
Honey Lip Balm
Make your own honey lip balm by melting three tablespoons of petroleum jelly (vaseline) with one teaspoon of honey. You can combine the ingredients and melt it in the microwave, for thirty seconds at a time, until fully melted. You can poor the honey lip balm into a cool looking pill box as packaging, and let it cool.
If you want to add a little something extra to your homemade lip balm, add a few drops of peppermint oil for a refreshing tingle.
