While citrus may not be viewed as something “Christmas-y” (though, some people do put oranges in stockings), it’s in season and there is so much you can do with this pretty fruit. From cleaning supplies to seasonings, there are lot of DIY gift potential.

Mmm..I can smell the citrus just thinking about it! Lol, I need to make myself another batch of sugar scrub but I’m thinking instead of my normal vanilla I’ll do some citrus! I never thought to package them up all cute and give them as gifts! How neat!
I love citrus as well! I just canned some lemon curd, or as I like to call it, “nectar of the Gods!”
