Everyone loves baths. A bath bomb—a delightful chunk of good-smelling stuff that explodes into colorful fizz in your bathtub—is therefore an awesome gift on any occasion. But they can get a little pricy. If you buy ingredients in bulk and learn how make bath bombs on your own, you can get a lot more bang for your buck. Plus, you can customize color, scent, and shape to perfectly suit the holiday—or the lucky recipient. And no one will know if you save a couple dozen for yourself. Find how to make a bath bomb for yourself here!
This bath bomb recipe makes about 12 orbs of colorful fun, but the exact count will depend on the size of the silicone bath bomb molds you use.
