8 DIY Holiday Gifts Featuring Our Favorite Essential Oils

Gifts #1 & #2: Easy Body Scrubs

You’ll have fun making holiday gifts with our favorite essential oils when the recipes are as simple and straightforward to make as are body scrubs. You simply mix together a synthetic-free exfoliator like sugar with a skin care oil and essential oils. A frankincense-based scrub will nourish the spirit as much as the skin. And a peppermint-based scrub will yield all the minty-sweet scent of Christmas candy canes to cheer and energize the spirit.

Gifts #3 & #4: Fragrance & Chemical-Free Body Butter & Roll-on Perfume

Free from synthetic fragrances and chemicals, all this recipe requires to become a fluffy, creamy, luxurious skin-care-oil-based body butter is a whisk and a little elbow grease. Just measure fresh-scented sweet orange essential oils into melted, chocolate-scented cocoa butter and whisk it as it cools. We promise, you’ll want to make a big batch and gift some to yourself as well. When the holiday rat race gets too hectic, give the gift of a chemical-free calming and meditative frankincense roll-on perfume.

Gifts #5 & #6: Nourishing Body Lotion & Nurturing Bath Salt

Harsh winter conditions can wreak havoc on our skin as well as our emotional well-being. Make a homemade body lotion with frankincense and myrrh to nourish the skin and lavender bath salts to nurture the spirit. What better gift to give than these gifts of well-being?

Gifts #7 & #8: Gifts for an Uplifting or Comforting Atmosphere

Working with the uplifting scent of pine essential oil and the comforting aromas of spicy clove and cinnamon will turn gifting into a pleasant sensory experience that you can share with the people on your list, with recipes for a pine room spray and homespun spice tree ornaments.
