6 Easy & Affordable Christmas Gifts for Her

Oh the holidays... Thanksgiving has now passed and I am already up to my knees in stress thinking about buying Christmas gifts for everyone already, how about you?! I envy those who get the majority of their shopping done before Thanksgiving. I will never be one of those people no matter how hard I try. The good news is I have some awesome simple gift ideas for you that will suit all the women in your life! (men on the other hand... good luck!!)

DIY Body Scrubs

Take this idea and run with it. There is nothing women love more than pampering themselves, and more than likely, if they don't.. it's because they don't have the time or products to do so. Gifting her a scrub will give her a reason to treat herself & that's something every woman will be grateful for (and easy on your wallet). Here are a few of my favorite recipes:

Peppermint Foot Scrub: 

~ 2cups of granulated sugar / 1/3 cup of oil** / 2-3 drops of peppermint extract or oil / a few drops of green or red food coloring (optional) ~ Combine all ingredients

Sorry. I had to ;)

Oatmeal Honey Facial Scrub

~ 1 cup oatmeal (uncooked & ground in food processor) / 1/2 cup honey / 1/2 cup oil**
~Combine all ingredients

Vanilla Brown Sugar Body Scrub

~ 1 cup brown sugar / 1/2 cup granulated sugar / 1/2 cup oil** / 1 tbsp vanilla extract / 1 tsp Vitamin E oil / Juice of 1/2 lemon ~ Combine all ingredients 

~ Place scrubs in a jar and decorate with a tag, ribbon, burlap, etc..

** Oils: Coconut, almond, or olive oil are best options for these recipes
