My friend, Maureen grows bushel upon bushel of lavender each year. She harvests it, separates out clean buds, jars it and gives it to friends. Fortunately, she likes me a lot and delivers to me a lion’s share of locally grown, freshly harvested, organic, Oregon lavender.
I use the lavender in several ways. I soak it for scent. I add it to bath salts and handmade soaps, I wrap some in an envelope and leave it in my car as an air freshener. Lavender makes one of the best sachets ever and is an affordable and appreciated gift. Make up six organza bags filled with lavender buds, arrange in a small gift box, add a bow . . . Voila! You’ve created a gift for under $5.00 .
I purchase organza bags from ThatFinalTouch on Etsy, Organza allows the scent to come through very well, yet keeps the loose pieces contained. The organza bags are filled with fresh lavender buds, tied, labeled and sold from my local spaces.

Oh, by the way, did you know that Lavender is one of the few scents that a newborn baby’s brain is able to process? Lavender is known in the organic health industry for the calming effects it has on human beings. Lavender scent is added to baby products, as well as being used as an anti-anxiety remedy in massage oils and other theraputic products. Lavender is a top contender in the herbal family.
