If you’re looking for a thoughtful and personalized gift to wow your guests, look no further than homemade sugar scrub favors. Not only are they easy to make, but they’re also luxurious, customizable, and budget-friendly.
In this post, I will show you simple way to create your own delightful sugar scrub favors that will leave your guests feeling pampered and appreciated. I recently made one with dried Lavender and almond oil. However, it might be beneficial to make a few different variations in case your guest have allergies to a particular ingredient.
Ingredients
- Cane Sugar
- Coconut oil or almond oil (or your preferred carrier oil)
- Essential oils (such as lavender, lemon, peppermint, or rose)
- Small Containers or Mason Jars
- Ribbon or twine for decoration
- Labels or tags for personalization
Instructions
- Mix the Base Ingredient first. Start by combining 1 cup of sugar with 1/4 cup of chosen carrier oil in a mixing bowl. If the carrier oil is in solid form, make sure you melt it before adding it to the sugar. Stir until the mixture is well combined and the sugar is evenly coated with the oil. Adjust the ratio of sugar to oil as needed to achieve your desired consistency.
- Next add the Essential Oils. Add your choice of essential oils to the sugar-oil mixture. Essential oils not only add fragrance but also provide additional benefits for the skin. For example, lavender oil is calming and soothing, while lemon oil is invigorating and refreshing. Start with a few drops of essential oil and adjust according to your preference. I typically add about 10 or so drops.
- Stir the mixture thoroughly to evenly distribute the essential oils. Take a moment to inhale the delightful aroma and envision the smiles on your guests’ faces as they indulge in their luxurious sugar scrub favors.
- Transfer to Containers: Once the sugar scrub is well mixed, transfer it into clean, dry containers. You can find cute jars at your local dollar store or these Accguan Mini Mason Glass Canning Jars, that hold about 4 oz. of scrub. Fill each container to the desired level, leaving a little space at the top for easy sealing. You can also decorate the jars with ribbon, twine, or personalized labels to add a special touch.
- Personalize and Package: Don’t forget to add a personal touch to your sugar scrub favors! Consider attaching a handwritten note or a custom label with the bride and groom’s names and the date of the wedding. Your guests will appreciate the thought and effort you put into creating these beautiful gifts.
With just a few simple ingredients and a dash of creativity, you can create stunning sugar scrub bridal shower favors that are sure to impress your guests. Whether you choose to stick with a classic recipe or customize it with your favorite scents and decorations, these DIY favors are guaranteed to add a touch of elegance and luxury to your special day. So roll up your sleeves, get creative, and let the pampering begin!
