Holiday DIY Gift Giving

 
Holiday Gift Giving Welcome

Let’s take the stress out of holiday shopping this year! I have some ideas for you that are perfect for anyone on your list. You can either grab the ready-to-go products on your next order from Young Living and have them shipped right to your door OR take advantage of the DIY recipes and get crafty! Don’t forget that when you order through the Essential Rewards monthly box program you get bonus freebies and points back that you can exchange for MORE goodies!! No matter which option you choose you’re still giving the gift of wellness and sharing the best with the people you love!

During our holiday hangout you’ll see this guide so you can stay within your budget and keep that wallet (and the hubby) happy! 

$ = under $25

$$ = $25 - $50

$$$ = $50 - $100

$$$$ = $100+

Woohoo! Let’s go!


Seed to seal

Seed to Seal

Not all essential oils are created equally. When you shop with Young Living you are getting quality products backed by a ‘Seed to Seal’ guarantee that you won’t find anywhere else. You can expect that Young Living will provide you with only the BEST!

  • plant material that is grown on corporately-owned farms or carefully vetted partner farms (that you CAN visit!)

  • sustainable farming and sourcing practices, providing the purest oil

  •  great care taken to preserve and protect natural resources

  • hand-weeded fields and ZERO use of pesticides

  • oils that retain all their natural constituents and therapeutic properties

  • use of food-grade distillers with state-of-the-art design and distillation methods

  • low pressure and low temperature distillation, without the use of solvents or synthetic chemicals

  • rigorous testing on each batch by internal labs and third-party facilities

  • oils that are carefully reviewed through every step of production in order to meet or exceed industry safety and purity standards (beyond organic!)

And the best part… if the oils do not meet these high standards they are rejected and will not be bottled as a Young Living product. Now that’s amazing!!

Brighten up someone’s holidays this year by getting them ready for the next season with Mineral Sunscreen, LavaDerm After-Sun Spray, and Coconut Lime Body Butter! These are already made for you and easy to grab!

If you didn’t already know, traditional sunscreen can have some pretty harmful ingredients inside. Sunscreen may not be a common holiday gift, but trust me, your recipient will thank you when they realize how valuable of a gift this really is. You’re giving the gift of wellness!

 

If you’re feeling crafty try your hand at some DIY Whipped Body Butter. It smells incredible!

“All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth…” so we gotta keep them nice, right?! Who doesn’t want a healthier, whiter smile? Give the gift of Thieves! 

All of Young Living’s toothpaste is fluoride-free, made without harsh chemicals or synthetics, and gentle on enamel. Grab your favorite tube and pair it with Thieves mouthwash and dental floss. Hop on Amazon and grab some cool bamboo toothbrushes and kick your gift up a notch! 

 By ordering a 5-pack of 2 oz. tubes of Arombright and grabbing some small plastic containers to split up the mouthwash, you can whip up several gift bundles at a great price! Take a look...

  • 2 oz. Thieves Aromabright - $5.75

  • 2 oz. Thieves Mouthwash - $2.58 (combine 1 oz. mouthwash with 1 oz. distilled water; price includes cost of plastic container)

 Add in a toothbrush and you are still under $15! What a practical gift or stocking stuffer!

the gift of self-care

Self-Care

Price Point: $ to $$$

I am loving the fact that I can grab full-size products and gift them as is OR divvy them up to create multiple gifts, aren’t you? #smartshopper

These oil-infused goodies would make the perfect self-care gift - because we all know how hard it is to make yourself a priority! Give them everything they need from head to toe! 

  • Satin Mint Face Scrub

  • LavaMint Softening Foot Scrub

  • Lavender Mint Shampoo and Conditioner

  • Lavender Lip Balm

Want to divvy these up? You can!  

Grab those 2 oz. containers we talked about earlier and add 2 oz. of shampoo/conditioner to each. By doing it this way, you can get FOUR gift-size bottles of shampoo and conditioner out of one, making them only $7.40 each! And that includes the cost of the 2 oz. container! 

Grab these ½ oz. jars for just $0.29 each and include a sample of both the Satin Mint Face Scrub and LavaMint Softening Foot Scrub. It may seem like a small amount but a little goes a long way!

Package all this and a lip balm in one of these mesh organizers and you’ve got adorable little gift sets perfect for anyone on your list… all for under $25! 

Feeling up for another homemade recipe? You could also include an amazing DIY Hand Scrub for silky smooth hands all year round.

Pair one (or more) of these with a cute mug or a warm fleece blanket:

  • Diffuser & Thieves

To keep it super cost effective, grab an affordable mug from your nearest dollar store or Target, fill it with some colorful paper shred, and tuck in two Slique tea bags ($1.62) and a bottle of Lemon Vitality ($6.25). That’s less than $10! #teachergift

Throw in a little jar of oil-infused honey and the lucky recipient will love you forever! Place ¼ cup of honey in a jar and add 5-8 drops of Cinnamon Bark Vitality, Lemon Vitality, or Thieves Vitality for flavoring. This goes so well with a hot cup of Slique tea!

Want to add a little flare? These little 2 oz. glass jars from Amazon and mini wooden honey dippers would be adorable in this gift bundle!

our furry friends

Furry Friends

Price Point: $ to $$$

We can’t forget about those fur babies! I love that Young Living hasn’t forgotten about them either. Our animals are just as susceptible to all the harmful toxins in our everyday products as we are. Thankfully there is a safer alternative for them! Young Living has an entire Animal Scents collection of pre-diluted essential oils you can use directly on your pets, along with shampoo, ointment and pet chews.

This is the perfect collection to gift to your own pets or even your friends’ pets. Take some samples to your local veterinarian’s office; I’m sure they would love it!. #brilliant

Again, grab full products for each recipient OR divide them up and make multiple gift bundles for under $20 each! Let’s do a little math and break this one down...

  • Animal Scents Shampoo - $16.25/8 oz. bottle = $2.03 per ounce

  • Animal Scents Ointment - $24.75/6.3 oz. container = $3.93 per ounce

  • Animal Scents Pet Chews - $20.25/10 ct = $2.03 per chew

  • Animal Scents T-Away - $16.75/15 ml bottle = .05 per drop

  • Animal Scents ParaGize - $11.00/15 ml bottle = .04 per drop

Need container ideas? Try these: 

  • Shampoo, 2 oz. bottles (could send pure shampoo or diluted 50/50 with water)

  • Ointment, 1 oz. jar

  • Oils, 2 ml bottles (you could give anywhere from 10-25 drops of oil) 

Wrap each pet chew in it’s own food-safe cellophane bag or add a DIY element and make your own Sweet Potato Puppy Muffins using the recipe from prouddogmom.com.
