DIY Holiday Gifts with Essential Oils

The Holidays are coming! And what better way to say, “I love you”  than DIY Holiday gifts with essential oils.

Not only do essential oils make gifts that show you care, but creating unique and useful DIY gifts for friends and family is fun and satisfying. Here are some easy options that your friends will keep begging you for, year after year!

Lip Balm

Make a simple and easy lip balm! Be sure to save your Altoids tins. Or purchase lip balm containers on Amazon.

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
1 teaspoon beeswax (find on Amazon)
5 – 7 drops of essential oil of choice (Cinnamon, Peppermint,  Vanilla, Lavender, Rose, Coffee, etc…)

Simply combine the grapeseed oil and beeswax in a double boiler, then poor into your tin. Now add the drops of essential oil. This recipe makes enough for a small Altoid tin.

Lotion Bars

Lotion bars are easy, and they make useful and luxurious gifts! Check out the recipe, below.

Ingredients:
Cocoa butter
Beeswax
Coconut oil

Essential oil of your choice Lavender, Peppermint, and Weight Loss Essential Oil Blend (helps with cellulite) are great options)

Melt a 1:1:1 ratio of all three ingredients (add the essential oils at the end) in a double boiler. Once melted, simply pour into your soap mold (any size or shape will do)! Be sure not to melt your mold if it’s plastic.

Necklaces

Gift homemade, essential oil pendants! Just add a drop or two of your choice of essential oil (or essential oil blend) for an aroma that lasts all day.
