Ideas for home made "remedies"

ViksB

I am looking to pull together a hamper for Christmas full of home made remedies.
I don't really care if they work or not.
So far I only have some elderberry syrup which is reputedly good for colds, but I took some this morning and now have a filthy cold. I thought when they said it was good for colds it meant it prevented or cured them not caused it!! But it tastes OK and I am sure by tomorrow I will be fighting fit.

Anyway any other ideas?
Something with lavendar, rosehips or hawthorn berries would be very good.

Thanks
