Spread the Joy

Did You Know?

Stuff stockings with mini beauty treats: try travel-size beauty products, lip balms, or essential
oil blends (buy or make your own).

Spread a little cheer this holiday season with gifts of beauty. Pamper your friends and loved ones with natural, healthful gifts of aromatherapy and skin care that relax, refresh, soothe, and evoke feelings of the season.

Be sure to choose products that use only pure essential oils for fragrance rather than synthetic scents that dry and irritate skin and cause itchy noses. Essential oils are extracted from aromatic flowers and plants, and are recognized for their subtle restorative effects on the mind and emotions. The scent of pine is uplifting, peppermint promotes vitality, cinnamon is warming, and vanilla is known to foster a sense of calm-which is welcome during the hectic holiday season.

Here are some festive holiday gift ideas that are sure to spread joy and goodwill to all.

Set the holiday mood with Elevating Frosty Pine Aromatherapy Botanical Potpourri from Aura Cacia. The gift set includes a decorative glass canister filled with a potpourri of natural pine leaves and cones and a pure essential oil blend of pine needle, balsam fir needle, bay leaf, lemon, peppermint, and cypress oils. Several drops of the Frosty Pine oil on the potpourri produces a celebratory atmosphere for the holidays.

Wrap up the perfect stocking stuffer for the skin care-savvy woman on-the-go. MyChelle Dermaceuticals packaged its All In One Anti-Aging Boot Camp in a go-anywhere, airline-friendly plastic bag.

Conjure up visions of sugarplums in your head as you open Jason Natural Candy Cane Lane Tea-infused Hand & Body Lotion Gift Set.
