'Tis the season again - the season for giving, the season for sharing, the season for expressing your love for those near & dear to you. Giving gifts in pretty wrappings brings joy to all who give and receive them.
Scented gift ideas for kids "...from 1 to 92," made with therapeutic grade Young Living Essential Oils.
Gifts you can easily make yourself - pour your love and energy into for an extra special holiday season; gifts that please the senses, soothe the soul and even heal the body.
Not only that! A lot of gifts can be made by kids for mommy, daddy, grandma or grandpa, even their favorite teacher!
So, come join us!
What a fun evening it was to share our ideas and recipes with guests. Thank you for joining us!
 Moisturizing Cream
First, Pushkara demonstrated how to make the clarified butter, Ghee, for her Moisturizing Facial Cream recipe to which we added several essential oils for the most amazingly scented cream you can imagine. See the complete recipe and added notes in the PDF handout.

 Essential Oil First Aid Kit
Evelyn showed four versions of an all-natural essential oil First Aid Kit (for overnight/airline flights, two versions for in a car, and a larger one which can be used for camping and longer trips.) See the PDF handout for a quick run-down on which essential oils you might select for your first aid kit and how you might use them in an emergency situation. Print it out and keep with your kit!

Eco-Friendly Reed Diffuser
Evelyn also showed us how to make eco-friendly Reed Diffusers:
- Select a clear glass vase that has a large enough mouth to hold stones and reeds
- Choose stones you like, they can be natural river pebbles or clear or colored glass stones
- Reeds
- The essential oil of your choice
[Note: the vase, stones and reeds can be found at Pottery Barn]
Gently put the stones into your glass vase, arrange your reeds, then at the top of each reed drip one drop of essential oil. The scent of the essential oil usually lasts 1-2 months depending upon the natural strength of the essential oil.
Optional: fill your vase with stones 2/3 of the way, put a thin layer of dried rose petals, then add more stones.
Making a Reed Diffuser in this way will eliminate the need for a petroleum based oil that is toxic and will require emptying and cleaning periodically - you won't be putting petro-chemicals into the environment during usage or during clean-up!
