During the holidays, I love making gifts that recipients always appreciate receiving. One of my favorites is Peppermint Sugar Scrub. You will be surprised how cost-effective and quick this little gift is to make! Today I used a four-ounce mason jar, but I’ve also put sugar scrub in a smaller mason jar as a party favor.
The cool thing about this DIY gift is that it works just as well as the expensive scrubs that boutiques sell! And nothing says Christmas like the smell of peppermint!
Ingredients
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 coconut oil (or more to achieve desired consistency), heated to soften
red food coloring
Peppermint essential oil
Instructions
Combine the sugar and the coconut oil in a bowl. Add 10 drops of peppermint essential oil, and about four drops of red food coloring. Mix well and pour into jar. That’s all there is to it!
I created a cute label that I’d love to share with you.

After you glue your label on the lid, tie a pretty ribbon around the jar and your gift is ready. What easy homemade gifts have you made?

Totally cute idea ( I may make this for myself! )

You should! You’ll love how it makes your skin feel!
I love this! Thanks for a great gift idea!
Thanks, Pam!
This is fantastic. My 13 year old daughter and I both give gifts to 4 or 5 friends and this is so cute. I love to exfoliate so right up my alley! And thanks for thinking of the labels. You are getting so good at your blog– love it!
I hope yours turned out amazing, Michelle!

Love this! And I love the labels, too. So cute! When I clicked on link, though, the “JOY” label appeared. Help!
Jill- thanks for the compliments and for letting me know about the labels! I’ll fix it now. xoxo
Thanks for sharing this on the Merry Monday Party. I love how simple this is and will be featuring it in a DIY roundup.
Mmmm. This looks so amazing. I may make an extra batch so I can have some for myself.
