DIY Essential Oil Gift Ideas
I LOVE essential oils and I use them every single day! All of the cleaning supplies in my house have been replaced with homemade (non-toxic) cleaners made with essential oils. All of my personal care products have been replaced with homemade (non-toxic) versions using essential oils. I use them to keep my house smelling fresh, to keep my kids healthy, and to keep my spirits up.
There seems to be endless possibilities when using them! So, naturally I wanted to make some holiday gifts for my friends and family using my oils, to spread some cheer. Making holiday gifts also saves a ton of money! You can order so many of the ingredients online and then add the magic of essential oils. You will have amazing gifts to give to people that seem like they would have cost you a fortune. No-one will ever have to know that you made them for a fraction of the cost in your own kitchen!
I wanted to put together a short post sharing some of my favorite recipes so others can do the same. Nothing beats a homemade holiday gift, filled with the magic of essential oils! I rounded up a few of my favorite recipes from some of my favorite bloggers and essential oil team members to share with you here.
Note: I only use therapeutic grade essential oils in my recipes so I can feel confident in their purity. You can learn more about them HERE
I plan to buy some small baskets at my local good will and make beauty baskets filled with these items:
- Body butters made in cute jelly jars — like these
- Chapstick
- Lotion Bars
- Deodorant
I also plan to make cleaning baskets for a few members of the family as well, filled with:
- Bottles of cleaners — I reuse these glass jars and attach a spray nozzle
- Sponges, towels, and scrubbers

Hi, my name is Kate.
I love food. Real food. We eat all of the things that nursing school taught me were bad for you: butter, eggs, bacon, and raw milk.
I am a Nurse, a Mom, and a Real Food loving blogger. Just trying to save the world.
