Cheap Christmas Spa Basket Gift – Heating Pads

I came across this article on buckwheat heating pads today and thought they’d be a great addition to my Christmas spa baskets. I’m going to substitute rice, which I’ve found at a cheaper price than buckwheat, and throw in a few sprigs of lavender from my garden.

Apparently, dried cherry pits can be substituted for buckwheat, too. If you’re super thrifty and like eating cherries, you might want to look into the dried cherry pit thing further. I’d imagine you’d want to rinse them in something like a bleach solution, wash them again to remove the bleach and then spread them on a baking sheet to dry for a few days before using them?

All you really need to make these is a piece of cotton fabric, a sewing machine and your filler. Very fast and cheap and useful to boot.
