Another great homemade holiday gift that you can’t go wrong with it is a body scrub. Body scrubs are great little gifts that you can make in large batches and give to your loved ones. We love this Eucalyptus & Mint Sugar Scrub from On Sutton Place. The Lavender Foot Scrub from Fraiche Living is a great gift to give someone to pamper themselves. Lastly, a great homemade spa gift to give is a shower steamer. Shower Steamers are a great gift to help someone relax this holiday season. Try adding peppermint essential oil to yours to give it a holiday season twist.
