Sculpture Candles and Oils at Treasure Caravan

by

sculptured candleIf you are looking for a unique candle gift idea, check out Treasure Caravan’s section on sculpture candles.

This candle is called the Chinese Silver Sea Serpent and its design includes the head of a dragon and the body of a snake.

If you prefer something a little more subdued, there’s also a whole selection of inspirational candles. There are some with blessings, for birthdays and weddings.

Treasure Caravan also has a large selection of aromatherapy oils, oil burners, incense holders and warmers. All you usually need to warm the oil in the burners are tea light candles. I love the smell of patchouli and my daughter bought me an oil burner for my birthday but no oil.

If you cannot decide on a scent, consider trying the 12-bottle aromatherapy oil collection with wooden display holder. Scents imported from India include magnolia, rose, lavender, patchouli, sandalwood, jasmine and more.

DIY Christmas Cherry Body Scrub

If you love simple handmade gifts that still feel festive and special, this DIY Christmas Cherry Body Scrub from CraftBits is such a fun little project. It is bright, pretty, and has that sweet cherry scent that makes it feel perfect for Christmas gifting.

What I like about this tutorial is how easy it is to pull together. The scrub uses granulated sugar, sweet almond oil or another carrier oil, red cherry fragrance oil, and a touch of mica powder for color, so it feels like one of those projects you can make quickly but still package up beautifully.

It is the kind of bath and body recipe that works really well for teacher gifts, stocking stuffers, hostess gifts, or just a little festive treat for yourself. The pretty pink-red color and cherry fragrance give it a cheerful Christmas feel without needing anything too complicated.

The tutorial itself is wonderfully straightforward too. You simply combine the ingredients well and store the finished scrub in an airtight container, which makes this a lovely beginner-friendly project for holiday crafting.

If you are looking for a quick Christmas body scrub recipe that feels handmade, giftable, and easy to recreate, this one is a sweet little pick.
