Few things beat the feeling you get when you make something with your own two hands. For fans of DIY, that feeling is probably pretty common, though no less rewarding, than it is for the rest of us. However, if you're shopping for a DIY fan (or a lover of organic, handmade skincare products), look no further than our pick for Day 6 of our 12 Days of Christmas (Shopping).
Neal's Yard Remedy, the English purveyor of luxurious, organic skincare and cosmetics, has found a home in Calgary, which is one of only two Canadian retail outlets for the upscale British brand. Established in 1981 and known for its potent and scrumptious blends of organic essential oil, Neal's Yard Remedy (NYR) products are jam-packed with natural ingredients to help soothe and pamper you from head to toe.

In one 90-minute session, the knowledgeable staff at NYR will give your DIY fan a hands-on lesson in the basics of essential oils, fragrance, and natural skincare. They'll also be able to indulge their inner-mad scientist by experimenting with a variety of natural scents while working on their own customized vegan and gluten-free skincare. The best part? Your DIY-lover will be able to leave with that sense of pride we talked about earlier and the products they worked to create.
- Cook, Brew and Blend Your Own Herbs ($39)

If your DIY-lover has already participated in one of NYR's bespoke events -- or perhaps if they'd rather learn the basics of natural skincare on their own -- a copy of the store's how-to guide is a great bet. Filled with 150 holistic herb-based recipes, colour photos, and helpful tips on how to grow your own herbs, this book is the perfect gift idea for anyone with a passion for learning about, and creating, their own natural personal care products. Expect this book to be dog-eared and filled with bookmarks by anyone you give it to in no time.
You can find Neal's Yard Remedy at #130, 2207 4 Street SW, or online at nealsyardremedies.ca
