Hey, y'all! It's the last weekend before Christmas. Can you believe it? Christmas is only a few days away. Do you have all your gifts purchased yet? If not, you're in luck. I have a last minute gift idea for you!
With a quick trip to the store to buy three ingredients and jars, you can have some inexpensive, cute gifts for those last few people on your list.
Ingredients:
Sugar
Baby Oil
Baby Wash
Red Food Coloring **Optional**
To make enough scrub to fill three small jelly jars, mix 3 cups of sugar, 4 tablespoons of baby oil, and 4 tablespoons of baby wash. If you want your scrub to be pink, you will need to add a drop of red food coloring to the mixture. Mix everything really well to get a uniform color. Please keep in mind that this is not rocket science. No one's eating this, so you're really just aiming for a consistency that you like. If you need your scrub to be more solid, add more sugar. If you need it to be more liquid, add more oil and/or baby wash.
Note: My scrub is an adaptation of this scrub from The New York Melrose Family. Jenny has lots of great scrub recipes!
Fill your jars with scrub.
All that's left is to add a cute label to the top of your jar lid, and guess what? I'm sharing the labels I made for my jars with you.
You can download the labels {

All you need to do is print the labels, cut them out and use a sticker maker or double stick tape to attach them to your jars.
Isn't the name of the scrub fun? The recipient of your gift will never know that it's a last minute gift, and she'll be impressed by the fact that you made the scrub yourself AND packaged it so prettily.
Merry Christmas!
Such a cute gift idea. Love the pink and your fun pictures! Merry Christmas!
