Appropriate age group(s):
Elementary School
Middle School
High School & Beyond

Estimated time to make this gift:
Gee...

Materials:
Baby Oil, Essential oil(s) of your choice (lavender, strawberry, peppermint, rose...), small container (old spray or rub-on perfume bottles work well, or find something new when you're buying the scents), decorated labels and stickers or plain ones to decorate yourself.

Instructions:
Add the essential oils to the baby oil (don't add too much or it could irritate the skin) and bottle. Decorate the container with desired stickers.

Other comments or suggestions to consider:
These make wonderful party favors for older kids, thank you gifts, friendship gifts, or nice additions to a present. Give one or more. The recipient is sure to love these thoughtful custom oils, but don't let on how easy and cheap they are to make.

Also try adding the scents to shampoo, conditioner, lotion (cheap dollar store lotion works great) and make a gift basket.
