It’s no secret that I love using essential oils! With the holidays coming up, I’m trying to get ahead of gift-giving this year. It’s no fun to be frantically searching the aisles of an over-crowded store the week of Christmas, trying to figure out what on earth to get for my neighbors or cousins!
This year, I’m doing better and am even thinking about making my own homemade gifts. I know, that sounds like a lot of work but thankfully I found a ton of great gifts for essential oil lovers – which is pretty much everyone these days!

10) Cinnamon Pine Cones With Essential Oils
I love the scent of those holiday pinecones in the stores, but unlike this DIY scented pinecone tutorial from Confessions of an Overworked Mom, they are probably not made with real essential oils. Also, I love her idea of sending your kids outside to collect the pinecones—make it a family activity to make them and then deliver to your neighbors to spread cheer.

Pretty much everyone I know hates that annoying dry skin that can happen during winter. That’s why I can think of so many people who would love this essential oil body butter from Painted Teacup. I’m going to have to make it for myself first to “test it”. 😜
14) Vintage Linen-Wrapped Bath Bombs
I love the packaging idea on these linen-wrapped bath bombs from Craftivity Designs. These would be so cute with vintage holiday tea towels—totally going to start checking for them at the thrift store.

This pretty peppermint sugar scrub from Mommy Musings is another great way to combat that winter dry skin. You could put this and a lotion together and make an essential oil gift basket!
17) Rosemary Vanilla Hand Soap
There is a point during the winter where I can’t take it anymore. I miss the spring and need a pick me up – I bet most of my friends feel the same, which is why this rosemary vanilla soap from Thrifty Jinxy sounds like a great gift idea for them.
