Gifts to give

The past few days I have received Holiday gift tips from Rocky Mountain Oils. I will share some of their tips and recipes for fun gifts to make for your friends and family. I am going to make a few of them this weekend to try out.

Sugar and Salt Scrubs:

 

Possible blends:

You can use any blend Rocky Mountain Oil sells, if it’s a scent your friend or loved one already likes.
A single oil is also a good choice. You might try: Lavender, Sandalwood, Blend of Rose, Jasmine, Rosewood, Palmarosa, Spearmint, or Peppermint.

 Blends:

10 drops Sandalwood and 6 drops Cardamom

5 drops each Peppermint, Lavender, and Tea Tree

4 drops Jasmine, 4 drops Ginger Root, 2 drops Cumin, 4 drops Neroli, and 6 drops Clary Sage

4 drops each Rosewood, Cedarwood, and Rosemary

3 drops Ylang Ylang, 2 drops Patchouli, and 3 drops Orange

 

For a sugar scrub add 1 Tablespoon oil (any kind of carrier oil you prefer), 1 cup fine Brown Sugar

 

For bath salts add 1 Tablespoon oil (any kind of carrier oil you prefer), 3 cups sea salt or unscented Epsom Salts

 
Add all ingredients to a ziploc bag, seal it and massage until oils including essential oils are completely mixed in.
Add to a cute jar with a lid. Label and wrap. They will love it!

Holiday Kisses Lip Scrub

1 tablespoon Fine Brown Sugar

 

1 tablespoon Powdered Sugar

 

1 tablespoon Jojoba oil

 

10 drops Vanilla infusion (can substitute Pure Vanilla Extract)

 

3 drops Spearmint oil

Combine all ingredients in a ziploc bag, seal and massage bag until all ingredients are mixed together well. Store in a small glass jar with a lid. Lightly massage into the lips using circular motions, then rinse off. Use as frequently as needed. Discard after 6 months.

Also, if you are looking for another fun gift go to my previous post on Whipped Shea Body Butter. http://nelsonjuliet.blogspot.com/2012/12/whipped-shea-butter-recipe-for-hair-and.html I just made some this past weekend and packaged it in these cute little canning jars. GREAT Christmas present for the office, friends, or family!
