At any gift-giving occasion (Christmas, birthdays, etc.), it is always appreciated when receiving a personalized creation that says you care. And people - especially women - enjoy facial care products, gifts that improve the skin, beautifully scented items, and others. So how about a gift basket filled with oils and herbs that are soothing to the mind and body?
Aromatherapy gift baskets are a great present that you can put together yourself - it shows you care enough to extend effort into the creation of the gift and also demonstrates you care about the well-being of the recipient.
Aromatherapy is an ancient medicinal custom that believes certain herbs and scents can invigorate the mind, soothe frazzled nerves and relieve aching muscles. So, keep reading for some great aromatherapy gift ideas.
Homemade Herbal Bath Mix
An herbal bath provides the benefits of aromatherapy with the therapeutic and relaxing reward of a long time of refreshment in the tub.
To make a customized bath blend for your gift recipient, simply mix together a few favorite herbs like dried ginger flakes or dried lavender and wrap them in a small muslin bundle. Then, tie it up with string, like a large tea bag.
Aromatherapy Oils
Essential oils are the pure essence of a plant and the center of aromatherapy. They are inhaled and believed to have both psychological and physiological benefits for the inhaler.
The idea is that the smell will not only trigger a psychological effect in the brain but also a physiological one in the body. For example, the aroma of ginger zest may invigorate you, while the scent of mint can soothe you or help an upset stomach.
Instruction Book
Piles of essential oils won't be much use if your gift recipient doesn't know which herbs do what. So, include a guide book with your aromatherapy gift baskets that lays out the benefits of each plant.
Scented Candles
An aromatherapy gift bag or basket wouldn't be complete without a few scented candles and incense sticks. They not only fill your home with beautiful scents, but those same scents work to relax you, fight fatigue and make you feel great. So, fill out those gift baskets with some great scented candles or an incense set that includes all your favorite scent-pleasing aromas.
For an added touch, you can even make your own scented candles with rolled beeswax. Simply spray each sheet of beeswax with a diluted mixture of essential oils and water. The scent will seep into the wax.
Homemade Herbal Cream
Add a really personal touch to your aromatherapy gift baskets with a homemade aromatherapy hand cream. To make your own, customized blend, simply mix together 1 egg, 1 tablespoon of lecithin, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and 1 ¼ cup of your favorite oil (almond oil, sunflower oil, coconut oil, etc) in a blender.
Once you have your base, add drops of your favorite essential oil to scent the cream. Remind your recipient this gift should be kept in the refrigerator.
