Sugar Scrub
It’s crunch time! Why not give the gift of a day spa? If you find yourself in need of a quick gift, you can make these in about 5 min if you have the supplies. I love sugar scrubs. Perfect for keeping those elbows and knees from getting dry. I like sugar scrubs better than salt in the winter. Sometimes the salt stings……and that’s not how I want to wake up in the morning. It also saves time, because then you don’t apply moisturizer after your shower. I am up and out of the house in about 30 min M-F, so every minute counts.
I think I made it and wrapped it in about 15 minutes.
How to Make Sugar Scrubs
Items needed for making Sugar Scrub
- Sugar – I used Organic sugar – but any kind will work.
- Almond Oil – I found mine in the Natural section of my grocery.
- Essential oils – I used Orange because it’s the cheapest. I also used jasmine. (I bought my oils from Whole Foods)
- Glass Jar or plastic- I found mine at The Dollar Store.
- Ribbon and tags
Combine 3 Cups Sugar with 1 Cup Oil. Drop in several drops of desired scented oil. Mix. Scoop into jar and seal.
I hope I gave you some quick, inexpensive ideas for those last minute gifts.

About Kim
what a great homemade gift idea – thanks for sharing it~!~
Love the sugar scrub idea for teacher gifts! Works well with crushed peppermint because the color turns out a fun pink!!!
I’ve been making bath salts this year for Christmas. I think I’ll make the Sugar scrubs for birthday gifts. I hope to find some cute containers on sale after Christmas.
What a wonderful gift idea! How cute would this be for a baby or bridal shower?
I’m definitely doing this one as an after-Christmas treat for myself! ;o)
I love the idea of making a giant scrub for your body! My skin is allergic to parabens which are in most drugstore body scrubs so my skin reacts!
I made a scrub last night for my face using olive oil, lemon juice, honey and sugar and it worked wonders!
