Although this beauty gift is specific to candy cane scrub, you can steal this idea for any scrub. Attach a chocolate for chocolate, a lemon stick for lemon, etc.

Christmas in a jar

Bust out your pine, peppermint, cinnamon and even pumpkin scents to create a Christmas in a Jar for your DIY beauty products. If gifting for any other season, recreate the label but use the same idea as the blogger: Place items in a glass jar, place coffee filter on top and tie with twine for a pretty and simple presentation.

Another fun idea for a jar, add scrub, lotion and oils for a pedicure. Don't forget the nail file, polish and of course, a washi tape lid so your gift is a cute one!
