And if you prefer a hand-made DIY gift, here are a few great recipe's that she'll love:


Orange Sugar Scrub
2/3 Cup Organic Cane Sugar
1/4 Cup Fractionated Coconut Oil
1 Tbsp Lemon juice
4 drops Orange essential oil
(Alternative: Swap out orange for peppermint or lemon)
* Mix Sugar, FCO, and lemon juice in a glass bowl until combined. Add essential oils and mix well. Pack into a small air tight mason jar.


Glow Beauty Serum
10 Drops Frankincense
5 Drops Lavender
5 Drops Geranium
(Alternative: Swap Copaiba out for Geranium)
* Add essential oils to a 5ML bottle then top off with Jojoba oil. Place a roller fitment on the top and shake. Optional:  Add a cute label like these ones from the Oil Drop Shop.

Grapefruit Whipped Body Butter
1 cup organic coconut oil
1 cup organic solid cocoa butter (do not use lotion)
15 drops Grapefruit
* Warm a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, then add coconut oil and cocoa butter. Melt until completely liquefied, about 4–5 minutes. Pour into a glass mixing bowl and place in refrigerator for 30–45 minutes to cool and just set but not harden. Stir in essential oils. Using a mixer, whip until firm peaks form, about 10 minutes. Gently transfer to a seal-able jar or container. Store at room temperature to avoid melting or solidifying. (* Recipe adapted from the Young Living blog)
