    Any particular reason you don't want to use them to soften the bath water?

    If they have a fairly strong scent and they smell nice could you put them in a pretty bowl, and use it as a room freshener. Maybe decorate it with a few artificial flower heads.

    Use them to soften any water for cleaning-purposes. It's only scented soda crystals after all

    Tart them up in a nice new bottle (recycled from something else of course :D) and give them as a gift to someone?

    Hi skintmumof3,

    Sew some material or a piece of muslin into a a small square and fill with the crystals to use (or give as gifts) as drawer fresheners.

    Hi

    Put them in your hoover bag and the room smells nice after you've hoovered. Much better than air freshener.

    I've got a big bag of 'Passion Potion' bath crystals left over from when I had an eBay business a couple of years ago. I've been moving the bag from one place to another for so long that I'm sick of the sight of them and so I've decided it's time I knocked that on the head and actually did something useful with them. They've now been decanted into jars which will be decorated with either ribbon tied in a bow round the neck or with a parcel bow on the lid, and then given to teachers as presents at the end of the summer term. I've got the jars, ribbons and bows and would have had to buy teacher presents anyway, and will get the kids to make the accompanying thank you cards from whatever's around here at the time.

    I used to package them in those little zip-lock plastic bags when I sold them on eBay, and if there are any left after I have tormented the the teachers with them... erm, treated the teachers to them, I will package them in the same way - with little handmade labels - to use as stocking fillers at Christmas.

    Hi, I'm trying to use up a lot of things as pennies are a little going to be a little tight until I get another job. Body lotions (using these for my boots and shoes to feed the leather), but I'm at a loss for what to use bath crystals for? I have quite a lot (not all in the one container).


    Does anyone have any suggestions?

  • Use as a body scrub mix with olive oil

    just thinking could you put them in an oil burner like simmering granules?
