Easy Last Minute Christmas Gift: Vanilla Sugar Scrub

Tuesday, December 20, 2011


Here's an easy, last-minute Christmas gift idea for you to make!  (You don't even have to be "crafty"!)

Vanilla Sugar Scrub

Combine 1 cup white sugar, 1 cup brown sugar, and 1 tsp. vanilla extract in a bowl.  Stir well.  Add enough olive oil to give it the texture of wet sand.  Place the sugar scrub in small containers. (I used clean, dry baby food jars.)  Decorate the containers as desired!  (I used scrap paper for the lids and made labels with directions.)
Include these directions with your gifts:  Rub a small amount of sugar scrub into hands for sixty seconds, then rinse with warm water.

I gave these to some of my girlfriends, as well as to Vera's Sunday School/AWANA teachers.

I love that it...
1) is easy to make
2) uses simple ingredients I have on hand
3) isn't edible, but is consumable (no clutter!)
Are you still making any Christmas gifts or are you all finished?  I made a lot of baked goods this year (and by a lot I mean 33+ dozen cookies)!

I made alot of canned items this year. Apple pie in a jar, several different flavors of jams, homemade applesauce, etc. I have been working on them since this Summer, so it is nice to finally be able to give them as gifts! Your scrub jars are adorable!
