How do you make soap, body butter, body cream?

My mum loves home made remedies and stuff. What can I make her for her birthday in 2 weeks time?How do you make soap, body butter, body cream?
* Sugar scrub: mix enough white or brown sugar with oil to form a paste. You can use olive oil, avocado oil, safflower oil, whatever good oil you can find in the baking section of a health food store. If you can find jojoba oil, use a little bit of that too! Mix with essential oils for scent (you can usually find these in health food stores or metaphysical stores...essential oils only, no ';fragrance'; or ';perfume'; oils).





* Bath Salts: Buy a container of epsom salts and mix with essential oils. I usually mix them a few cups at a time in a plastic storage container, that way I can shake them a few times a day to mix up the oils. They should sit for a few days to absorb the oils (you only need a few drops!).





* Hair oil: The same base and essential oils you used for the sugar scrub can be used to make wonderful hair oils. Just put a few drops of the essential oils in about an ounce or two of the base oil. She could apply it to her scalp and hair. I do this with coconut oil once a week. It usually comes out with next day shampooing, but if you use too much (easy to do at first), just put conditioner on your hair about 1/2 before you shower and rub it in real good. Then rinse it out in the shower and shampoo as usual.





I hope this helps! =)
