How do you make DIY aromatherapy gifts?
Does your gift receiver already have all the essential oils you could possibly think of? Are you looking for more than just oils to treat those close to you? Try your hand at making your own aromatherapy gift this year with these popular suggestions.
Room sprays
Room sprays are probably the easiest gift to make up if your inexperienced with aromatherapy, and can be a great choice for receivers who may not have a diffuser or oil burner to hand for their essential oils.
Mix some oils in a glass spray bottle with a bit of witch hazel and water, and allow your loved ones' spaces to transform.
Room sprays can even be made to accommodate certain purposes. Try making a one with a bit of lavender oil and encourage your giftee to spray on their pillow before bed.
Candles
Whenever you think of aromatherapy gifting, its likely one of these three scented creations comes to mind. Each have varying levels of complexity, so don't worry if you've never tried making your own gifts before.
Candles are an excellent choice for creating peace, ambiance and aromatherapy all at once.
A mix of essential oils can be combined with some soy wax and customised to the liking of your receiver - using different scents, colours, and even additional botanicals like rose petals.

Soaps & wax melts
Soaps and wax melts can also be customised in a similar way to candles, and work great in gift hampers as a set.
If you're new to DIY aromatherapy, wax melts may be a better place to start as they are relatively simple to wrap your head around. You can find our guide to making them here.
If your giftee doesn't have an oil burner to use wax melts with, soaps may be the better way to go, as they require no further gifting to actually be utilised. Check out our soap making guide here.
Bath salts
Loose bath salts are easy to make and can add extra novelty to your aromatherapy gifts.
Scent them using your receiver's favourite oils (or offer them a mix), and place in a lovely glass container for a unique but highly useful present.
You can find our complete guide for making bath salts with essential oils here.
Reed diffusers
Is your giftee someone relatively fuss free, who doesn't like gifts with too much assembly? Making them a reed diffuser using essential oils could be just the way to go.
Reed diffusers are easy to make up, very passive, and yet extremely useful for scenting your home and relaxing your mind.
Combine your chosen essential oils with a carrier oil base like fractionated coconut oil or sweet almond and allow your receiver to enjoy.
Aromatherapy gifts are the ultimate key to peace, relaxation, and wellness, and however you choose to present them to your giftee, they're sure to be well received time and again.
