Handmade Aromatherapy Gifts There is no better way to add a personal touch to a gift, without breaking the bank, than making your own aromatherapy gift.
Believe it or not, it's a lot easier than you may think.
Begin by snooping around your local craft stores for inexpensive candle making kits that also have essential oils included.
You can also look in these same stores for kits that contain the materials for creating handmade aromatherapy soaps or soothing bath salts.
The Internet is another great resource for these types of kits, aromatherapy recipes, supplies and ideas.
An even less expensive gift might include creating a simple drawer sachet by placing pine needles, rose petals, or other aromatic ingredients like cedar chips that you gather from outside and putting them in a pretty bag with a decorative bow or raffia strands to tie your sachet satchel.
With either of these gifts, you can include other natural skincare products, like lotions and fragrances that you arrange in an inexpensive wicker basket or decorative box.
Look for trial sizes of these skincare products and search thrift stores for the baskets and boxes.
Aromatherapy Books The bookstore can be a great place to look when shopping for an aromatherapy gift.
There you can find a book on essential oils, aromatherapy herbs, aromatherapy recipes and aromatherapy uses.
Some of these books have gorgeous photos and would make great coffee table books.
Others are perfect for friends who may be interested in creating their own aromatherapy crafts.
For friends who may already be familiar with the power of aromatherapy, a botany book with both the Latin and common names of plants can be an extremely cherished gift.
