One of my favorite things about the holiday season is thoughtful gifting. I love coming up with gift ideas for those closest to me. Handmade gifts are sometimes thought of as passé, but with a little creativity, they don’t have to be!
You can make your own luxurious gifts at home! Try sewing an apron, embroidering napkins, or making a DIY sugar scrub! I think it’s important to make things that you think the recipient will actually use! An apron is always a great handmade gift, as are homemade candles, bath & body products, and of course, Christmas treats!
This DIY sugar scrub is a quick and easy gift to put together for those that you’d like to gift something thoughtful to, but don’t necessarily have the budget to splurge on something store-bought! Sugar scrubs are very easy and inexpensive to make! In fact, they take only minutes to put together!
This inexpensive, easy, and all-natural sugar scrub is the perfect gift for anyone on your list that could use a little self-care.
You might be happy to hear that any sugar will work for a sugar scrub! Use brown sugar, granulated sugar, or even raw sugar for a deeper exfoliation!
While essential oils aren’t absolutely necessary to make homemade sugar scrubs, they’re a wonderful addition! Try lavender for a relaxing scrub, or citrus for an invigorating scrub. For this particular sugar scrub I combined sweet orange, spruce, and clove, which makes for a lovely seasonal scent!
You can use any type of kitchen oil you have handy when making homemade sugar scrubs! While vegetable oil would technically work, I wouldn’t advise it. Stick with oils such as olive, grape seed, coconut (liquid), or almond. One of my favorite sugar scrubs is a lavender olive oil scrub - it is divine!
