The holiday season is upon us, and what better way to spread cheer than by giving thoughtful, handmade gifts infused with the power of Young Living essential oils? This year, skip the crowded stores and embrace the joy of creating personalized presents for your loved ones. In this blog, we'll explore some delightful DIY Christmas gift ideas that incorporate the aromatic wonders of Young Living essential oils. Let's infuse your holiday with the spirit of wellness and creativity! I love making different gifts for friends and family. In the past I have made Spa Day baskets for family for the holidays.  Here are some of my favorite ideas! 
  1. Customized Essential Oil Roll-Ons:
    • Materials: Roller bottles, carrier oil (such as fractionated coconut oil), and Young Living essential oils.
    • Instructions: Create personalized roll-on blends tailored to your recipient's preferences. For relaxation, combine lavender and frankincense; for an energy boost, mix peppermint and citrus oils. My favorite roller to support winter wellness is using Thieves and frankincense in a roller and using it every morning and every evening!

  2. Aromatic Bath Salts:
    • Materials: Epsom salts, baking soda, your favorite Young Living essential oils, and dried flowers (optional).
    • Instructions: Mix Epsom salts and baking soda, add a few drops of essential oils, and blend well. Package in decorative jars for a spa-worthy gift. Consider scents like Stress Away or Lavender for a calming bath experience. Last year I learned about making Bath Tea's as well using the same ingredients only putting them in sealable tea bags! This turned out to be a huge hit! All the goodness without the mess in the bath. Hit me up and I can help you come up with some amazing ideas and I have a few tea bags left if you would like to make your own we can get together and have a making party!!
  3. Scented Sachets:
    • Materials: Fabric scraps, dried herbs, Young Living essential oils.
    • Instructions: Cut fabric into small squares, fill with a mixture of dried herbs and a few drops of essential oil, then tie with a ribbon. These sachets can be tucked into drawers or hung in closets for a burst of delightful fragrance.
  4. Homemade Candles:
    • Materials: Soy wax, wicks, Young Living essential oils, and glass containers.
    • Instructions: Melt soy wax, add essential oils for fragrance, and pour into glass containers with wicks. Customize scents for a cozy winter atmosphere—think Christmas Spirit or Northern Lights Black Spruce.
  5. Infused Cooking Oils:
    • Materials: Olive oil, herbs, Young Living essential oils, decorative bottles.
    • Instructions: Combine olive oil with dried herbs and a drop or two of essential oil for a unique infused cooking oil. Rosemary and Lemon essential oil make a delightful combination.
  6. Soothing Sugar Scrubs:
    • Materials: Sugar, coconut oil, Young Living essential oils.
    • Instructions: Mix sugar and melted coconut oil, add a few drops of essential oil, and blend well. Package in cute jars for a luxurious and aromatic sugar scrub, perfect for pampering during the winter months. These are some of my favorite gifts and so easy to customize! My favorite is mixing peppermint and lime making a mojito like scrub. Christmas spirit is also an amazing option as well as Winter Spa from the Jacob and Kait Collection. So many options to choose from and honestly a very economical gift! 
This holiday season, channel your inner DIY enthusiast and create meaningful gifts infused with the goodness of Young Living essential oils. Not only will your loved ones appreciate the thoughtfulness behind these handmade presents, but they'll also get to experience the therapeutic benefits of essential oils.

Meet Erica Grayson

 
Welcome to my site! I am so happy you stopped by! Let me share a little bit more about me. I am a wife, mom, grandma, nurse, teacher, student, Jesus follower, creative, frugal kind of gal. I love to spend time with my family and I love to make things stretch! One of my favorite things about Young Living is that their products are so concentrated a little goes a long way! 

I started my Young Living Journey over 10 years ago. I used to be a huge candle junkie, always had them burning, and we used lots of air fresheners. At the time we had 3 boys living at home, 2 with year round athletics. Hello Boy Moms, you know what I mean! I have no experience with female athletes, so I can't speak to them, but anyone with active boys you know there is the not so pleasant aroma de teen that seems to follow them.  I started paying more attention to what I was using in the house and while I had been DIYing lots of my own cleaners and laundry detergent, I was still learning about other things I could do to positively impact our health. 

 Enter  Young Living. At the time all I wanted was the Thieves Household Cleaner. I wasn't happy with what I was using and I was really serious about getting as many chemicals as possible out of our home. The funny thing was, I was limiting my thoughts to swapping out cleaners and really not much else. Thieves Household Cleaner would basically take over the job of most of the cleaning products I was using at the time.  When I became a Young Living Member in order to get the super savings of the Thieves Loyalty Bundle you had to first purchase a Premium Starter Kit and then you could add a Loyalty Bundle to your order.  Now me being as frugal as I am I saw this as a huge perk. The Loyalty program offered a way to budget out my families needs monthly as well as earn some free products of my choice, and I knew I was going to be ordering the cleaner every month so I went for it. Now at the time I really wasn't into the oils, well, I was interested in the Thieves oil, but really nothing else, the diffuser kind of interested me, but at the time I wasn't looking at the whole picture, just replacing the products I was using to clean our home.  

My kit arrived and I was super excited about the Thieves Household Cleaner! It was going to work for everything I wanted, then I realized, the Thieves Household Cleaner was way more concentrated than I thought, and lasted a lot longer than I had anticipated. I also started doing more research about ways to naturally support my family's  health and soon realized that we needed to get rid of the air freshers, and candles, and I also started looking into personal care products, I became a label reader and I was shocked and concerned by what I was reading that was on the labels of many products that we had in our home.  Slowly I started getting rid of things, swapping products with Young Living Products. Several things I even got to try for free as they were promo items that came with my monthly Loyalty order. I fell in love with diffusing and all of the different oil combinations I could make, I loved the way they made the house smell.  That first winter, my super active sports loving, not so good at taking care of themselves, burn the candle at both ends boys did not miss any school. Which was amazing as the previous years one if not both of my football boys missed a week or so of school due to not feeling well. 

Young Living had changed my life in ways I would have never imagined.  I would love to share more about all the things Young Living can do for you!  Welcome to my Healthy Oily Life!
