Plants you can grow yourself/already have around you. Check your spice cabinet
And list things to use those for! So that would be herb bundles to burn, salves, recipes, and so on.

This would be things like sea shells, snail shells, grass, dirt, candles. Get creative!

i don’t have access to most witch resources (herbs, crystals, divination tools, etc) so i often opt to incorporate simple witchcraft on my daily routines:
chanting a spell as i take a shower to cleanse my body and re-establish a layer of protection (great for witches who associate with water)
use spells to help my skin be clear and healthy as i do my skincare routine
draw sigils on foggy surfaces (eg. mirrors after a hot shower)
pour good intentions into my cooking (health, prosperity, etc for those who eat it)
enchant my drinks so they can help cleanse my body from the inside
get permission to eat edible offerings to impart the energy, strength, and wisdom of my deities/guardians/etc
use part salt water when i mop the floor to cleanse my space regularly
enchant my money so that when they’re with me, they keep my finances prosperous and when i use them they’ll help me earn more in the future (you can also enchant them so nobody can use them for “bad” purposes, curse those who steal it, etc the possibility is endless)
enchant and charge my detergent so when i wash my clothes, any energy that negatively impact me that stuck to them will be neutralized
use glamour spells when i put on my make up
cleanse my living space using smoke from incenses (usually ones i’ve offered to my patron deity, after getting their permission) and establish a layer of invisibility protection
use novels and textbooks i have for bibliomancy
basically enchant everything and anything cause there are no limits to this!
