Scented Ornaments

Nothing says happy holidays like an ornament – these make the perfect gift around Christmas time! And when you use some essential oil, you’ll be giving them an amazing, aromatic Christmas present that delights the entire house.

  • 1 C Baking Soda
  • ½ C Cornstarch
  • ¾ C Water
  • Cookie Cutter and Stamps
  • Thin Ribbon
  • 30-35 drops REVIVE Christmas Morning
  • Optional: Glitter or food color

Start by putting baking soda, cornstarch, and water into a pot over medium heat and stir well until powder dissolves.

Continuously stir while it comes to a boil (about 5 minutes). Once it thickens and begins to pull away from the sides of the pan, remove from heat and stir in the Essential Oils.

If you’re spicing the ornament up by using glitter or food coloring, stir it in now. Then, roll the dough to ¼ inch thickness. Use the cookie cutters and stamps to get creative and make as many as you can.

Using a straw, poke a hole through the top to create a spot for the ribbon. Separate ornaments carefully with a spatula and allow them to dry for 24-36 hours. Finish by tying the ribbon through the hole.

Stress Be Gone Roll-On

Everyone could use a sense of calming in their life. This stress be gone recipe is one of the best gift ideas if someone in your life could use a little plant therapy.

Put all of the drops of Essential Oils into the roll-on bottle. Use a small funnel to pour the Jojoba oil into the bottle and pop the top on. This is a great gender-neutral scent and makes a nice gift for a man, woman, or even a child.

Candy Cane Sugar Scrub

If you’ve never had the pleasure of trying sugar scrubs, you are missing out! This candy cane scrub makes for a great DIY Christmas gift.

In a glass bowl, mix together the drops of Essential Oils with the Almond oil. Once combined, stir in the sugar until smooth. If using crushed candy cane pieces, mix them in now. Scoop the mixture into the jar and close the container tightly. Decorate with red ribbon and a mini candy cane tied to the jar.

Cinnamint Plumping Lip Balm

You can get ultra creative this year with homemade stocking stuffers! Everyone is used to getting chapstick in their stocking, but what if you gave them a DIY stocking stuffer featuring essential oils?

  • Lip Balm Containers
  • 1 T Beeswax
  • 1 T Shea Butter
  • 1 T Coconut Oil
  • 1 T Sweet Almond Oil
  • 4 drops Cinnamon Essential Oil
  • 6 drops Peppermint Essential Oil

In a glass bowl over a double boiler, mix together wax, shea butter, coconut oil, and almond oil over medium heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the Essential Oils.

Carefully pour into the lip balm containers and let cool till hardened. You may refrigerate to speed up the cooling. The cinnamon and mint will help plump lips naturally.
