Party Gift

With the holidays around the corner and lots of party and invitation to reply to, we had no time to look at those refurbished laptops that were brought into our home today. Instead i spend time experimenting with making home made gifts for the kind people who had invited us to join them for Christmas parties and New Year’s party.   These home made bath fizzes from Martha Stewart as you can see are really pretty .. and will definitely make the hostess really happy.

ce-cube trays serve as molds, giving the fizzies their shape. Using a flexible silicone model lets you slide the cubes out smoothly without breaking them.

Show off the colors of the bath fizzies in glass jars with screw tops, the kind used for storing sugar and flour. Pack each type of fizzy in a separate jar so the scents won’t meld. Write the name of the scent on a vellum tag (choose a shade that matches the fizzies), and punch a hole in the top. Thread the tag with ribbon, and tie it around the jar.

Citric acid, a common food additive, is available at wine-making-supply stores, some spice shops, and online. When citric acid is combined with baking soda and placed in water, a chemical reaction creates bubbles.
