This year I thought long and hard about great gifts to give and receive, even if you have salicylate sensitivity. These are also practical for people with food sensitivities, sensitive skin, or fragrance sensitivity.

Part 1 and 2 are two separate videos.

1. Sally' Bucket Low-salicylate Soaps or cosmetics

These are lovely soaps! If you try them out, please leave comments in the directory at https://low-sal-life.com/food-product-directory/health-body/health-body. There are many more useful products in her store so shop around. The three I featured in the video were:

• Sunflower Castile Soap - https://www.etsy.com/listing/820958552/sunflower-castile-soap-3-bar-set

2. Pear Apron and Mitts

Basically any kitchen item that has pears, golden delicious apples, chayotes, eggs, or something that is edible by low-sal folks would be appropriate. It's time to throw out the lemon and avocado mitts! I like looking for handcrafted or vintage aprons on Etsy - here's a few I found.
