DIY Party Favors: Coconut Rose Body Scrub
Everyone knows that you should never arrive to a party empty-handed, but what if the party is for you? Last weekend, my lovely Maid of Honor threw me a fantastic bachelorette weekend with a built-in bridal shower at our hotel suite. She went all out with decorations and games, and I knew that I wanted to offer a small party favor for all of my friends who went out of their way to attend.
Using ingredients that I already had at home, I whipped up a batch or two of luxurious, rose-scented body scrub. It took about fifteen minutes, and the resulting gifts were special and unique. So grab a friend or two, pour some Pinot Gris, and get crafting!
Essential ingredients. (Note: Wine makes DIYs more fun)
Before we start, a glass of La Crema Pinot Gris.
For containers, I used these 2.7 oz. canning jars.
Sugar and coconut oil prior to mixing.
Rose oil and a large bowl for mixing.
Add ingredients to the mixing bowl, another sip of Pinot Gris…
Coconut Rose Body Scrub Instructions
- Two cups of sugar
- One cup of coconut oil
- ¼ teaspoon rose essential oil
- In a medium bowl, combine sugar and coconut oil with a spoon. The coconut oil stays solid at room temperature, so it may take a few minutes before everything is mixed properly.
- Add rose oil (or another fragrance—I made a few extra with lavender) and mix well.
- Spoon body scrub into containers (I used Weck 2.7 ounce canning jars) and adorn each one with ribbon.
Add ingredients to bowl and combine.
Coconut oil is solid at room temperature, so mix thoroughly.
Spoon the mixture into containers. (May include several sips of Pinot Gris for good measure)
Wrap jars with a simple ribbon.
The clasp on the jar doubles to hold the ribbon in place.
Your gift is ready for guests.
