So, this is the first year I have had to think about teacher gifts. Eli, my oldest son is in preschool and has two sweet teachers. I wanted to give them a gift card because what teacher doesn't love a gift card? But I thought it would also be nice to give them something homemade.
It was the perfect opportunity to use things I already have around my house, including peppermint oil! So, I decided to whip up some peppermint sugar scrub! It was so easy and it made my kitchen smell so yummy!! I will definitely be doing it again!
Here is the recipe I used:
Ingredients:
2 cups sugar
1/4 cup coconut oil
peppermint essential oil (I use Young Living)
red food coloring
Directions:
Pour sugar into medium sized bowl and mix in coconut oil (I warmed mine a little bit so it was easier to mix). Add a few drops of the peppermint oil and mix. Divide your sugar mixture into two equal portions and add a few drops of red food coloring to one portion. Add the sugar mixtures to the jar in layers and press down with a spoon to compact. Alternate the white and the pink. Top with a cute piece of cloth and a sticker. Super simple!
I am not a super creative person so if I can do it anybody can! These are great gifts for any occasion, not just Christmas!
