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.

Love this!! Cannot wait to try it soon!!!
This is an excellent idea! I didn’t know it was so easy…Sugar Scrubs can cost a lot of money. Thanks for sharing.
I am definatley making some of these for myself and my mom! Thanksfor sharing!!!
We are making these for fun at a Christmas party with my friends. We are all excited!
Great idea. This would be so easy to make!
Wow!
Nice and quick. Thanks for this post.

Up and out in 30 minutes? I am impressed!
Thanks for sharing! Beautiful yet easy(they will think it took you forever)
Sugar Scrubs are the big thing this year!! I love em! I can’t believe you made them in 15 minutes! I love the packaging you used too!! Thanks for sharing!!
Marni @ Sassy Sites!
I have never tried a sugar scrub but I do use the salt scrubs- they do make my hangnails sting in the winter so I am going to try the sugar scrub. Thanks for the great idea!
Thanks for the continual ideas and tutorials. The work you invest on this sight is really appreciated. Blessings
What a wonderful idea! I’m gonna have to make some of this!
Blessings,
Sandra
Yep, I am making Spa gift sets for the gals in the family this year! I was given some loofah sets free (bought on clearance years ago and never used)…so I am adding a homemade scrub and a homemade lotion. Might should mix that up this week! LOL I am only working 2 days, so there is still time.
MAYBE even time for me to indulge myself.
You sent this at the perfect time! I needed that …”oh crap…what do I give” gift! I appreciate your ideas!
Thanks so much for this idea. I got an infection as a child from using commercial bath bubbles, and have had a slight fear of any bath or spa products ever since! I love this because you can customize the scent and know exactly what’s going in it. Plus it’s simple enough that even I can do it!
Thanks!
Does anyone know how long you might be able to safely store something like this, by the way?
I think it has a fairly long shelf life, although I’ve never had it around long enough to find out.
Wow, I used to be a spa product distributor&the sugars were the HUGE fave! Love essential oils,too. I get mine at puritan.com (puritan’s pride) cuz they have so many BOGO’s on oils&vitamins &darn near everything,but good2know WholeFoods has in a hurry. Thanks so much,too,for the giveaway opp’s! I looove MatthewMead,too, and am so tickled for you! And LisaLeonard,and Kodak-what an opportunity to *finally* “git’er done”! You’re a gem! -s-
Wow it’s my lucky day!! I must confess I’ve been on a mission to simplify life and go ‘green’ while saving green. I do a lot of postings on the very topic. This sounds AMAZING! I’m totally going to do this for friends. Thanks for also noting where you got the ingredients ~ very helpful!
Oh and must say 15 min and wow that’s fast. Looks beautiful! Almond oil is amazing for the skin too. I polish my furniture with it sometimes. Whoot!
PS Wanted to invite you over to my blog to see our recent celebrations
I am going to try this!
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!
