The season of gift giving is here. Give everyone on your list something they’ll use and need: self-care items! From bath bombs and candles to rich hand creams and more, it’s easier than you think to build a personalized gift basket for everyone on your list.

Build a Relaxing Bundle (shown above)

A gift basket filled with soothing products is an excellent and easy DIY gift for everyone on your list. Select a reusable basket and fill it with pampering items such as an exfoliating body brush, sugar scrub, nail polish, lotion and a scented candle. Finally, add colorful ribbons and tissue paper for a festive touch.

Vanilla Brown Sugar Scrub:

Mix 1 cup brown sugar with ¼ cup coconut oil until combined. Then stir in 1 teaspoon each vanilla extract and honey. Making more than one batch or want to get creative with the scents? Always use a 3:1 ratio of sugar and oil. The essential oils or scents you add can be increased or decreased based on personal preference.

CBD and Skin Care

CBD in skin care products has gained popularity over the last few years due to its potential anti-inflammatory and hydrating properties. Along with potential antioxidant effects to protect skin against environmental pollutants, it’s no wonder why many skin care and beauty brands are including this ingredient in their items. Choose from CBD-infused soothing bath bombs, shampoos and conditioners, or calming creams and lotions that can be used for both joint pain relief and relaxation purposes.
