Make Your Own Diy Gifts Using Essential Oils!

Here you will find awesome ideas for homemade essential oil gifts you can make yourself!

It’s tough thinking of great gift ideas for essential oil lovers. Homemade gifts are thoughtful ways to share part of your life with others.

Do you like the idea of making your own gifts this season, but don’t want to fall into the “ Look, I made this great (read: ugly) Christmas sweater for you” category?

Do it yourself gifts are great, but they have to be GREAT gifts.

I love using essential oils in my own life. I know and enjoy the benefits that are inherent in these wonderful, naturally fragrant oils.

Sadly, some people continue to discount those benefits. But you know, “the taste of the pudding is in the eating”

I used to be a skeptic, but having seen the benefits of essential oils in my own life, I am now a BELIEVER!

I’ve compiled a list of beautiful homemade essential oil gifts that are unique and delightful while passing on the helpful benefits of essential oils.

So, whether you are gifting to people already familiar with all that essential oils bring to the party, or to people who wouldn’t know an essential oil if it was right under their noses (get it? lol); these gifts are sure to please.

It’s the holiday season and we all know what that means…increased stress levels, run-down immune systems, irritability, depression! The list is too long to continue.

Luckily, these diy essential gift ideas can help with all of those, and then some!

Check out these ideas and I’m sure you can find the perfect gift for someone on your hard-to-please list. Some of these are easy enough that you can get the kids involved in the process, too.

I’ve found great examples of jewelry, personal care products, gifts for the home. Take some time this weekend and whip up some of these gifts. Don’t forget to gift yourself, too!

15 Awesome Homemade Essential Oil Gifts

1. Essential Oil Perfume

Here is a simple floral essential oil recipe you can use:

Direction

add the essential oils into a 10 ml glass roller bottle, shake, then fill up with a carrier oil and shake again.

You can also experiment with different essential oils of your choice to get the aroma you like!
