Homemade Spa Gifts for Mother’s Day

Here is a quick and easy idea to make for your mom, or for some mommy friends for Mother’s Day.

Sugar Hand Scrub

This mix is quick and easy and you probably have all of the items in your pantry already.

Mix the following in a bowl.

2 1/2 Cups Granulated Sugar (I used organic, but any kind will do)

1 Cup Olive Oil

4 Tablespoons Lemon Juice

10-20 drops of essential Oils in the scent of choice.  I used Lavender.

Mix well.  This mixture will fill a 12 oz. mason jar.

Scented Bath Salts

To make the bath salts simply mix the following:

1 cup Epsom Salt

A few drops of Liquid Glycerin (found at the craft store or pharmacy, makes mixture softening to the skin)

10-20 Drops Essential Oils of your choice (again, I chose Lavender)

Mix in a bowl and fill jar.

Cover jars with pretty fabric and twine.  You can embellish with a pretty tag and other decorations.  I found these pretty snowflakes in the Christmas section and have had them around for things like this.

There you go, two quick and easy homemade gifts for moms!
