I love the idea of a handmade Christmas- but usually it turns more into merely an idea, rather than reality.
Not this year. I had the idea to make handmade Christmas gift baskets, with all Farmhouse on Boone tutorials.
I mentioned the idea on my Facebook page and people were really excited to do the same for loved ones on their Christmas list.
The baskets will include hand poured beeswax candles, homemade vanilla extract, and this sugar scrub recipe. There will be printables, ribbons, and all kinds of pretty things.
Stay tuned for the post and video on the basket assembly!
One recipe makes a half pint mason jar of homemade sugar scrub.
What is lavender sugar scrub good for?
- Exfoliation: sugar scrubs are a gentle way to exfoliate dead skin, revealing softer, smoother skin.
- Redness and inflammation: lavender has lots of amazing properties, including calming red or inflamed skin.
- Calm your mood. Not only can it help calm your skin, but it can also help your emotions calm down. Use this before bed as a great way to unwind and relax.

Homemade Sugar Scrub Recipe
White sugar- 1/2 cup
Brown sugar- 1/2 cup
Melted coconut oil- 1/2 cup
10 drops of essential oil
How To Make A Lavender Sugar Scrub:
Stir the sugars and coconut oil all together.
Add in 10 drops of essential oil.
I used lavender to make a relaxing sugar scrub. Use peppermint for an exfoliating homemade sugar scrub that is more invigorating.
Other great choices are blends, like citrus bliss or onguard.
Package it up with a little twine and some dried lavender sprigs or greenery. It would also look nice with a sprig of fresh rosemary, pine greenery, or a cinnamon stick.
This is the fun part!

Is there anything that you can do to avoid having the separation of oil in the scrub
Hello! Is this safe to go down a drain in the shower? Putting the coconut oil in worries me.
You can do it out of the shower and wipe it off into the trashcan if you are worried!
What would the shelf life of the sugar scrub be?
6 months.
Does it matter the company of the sugars? Can i use domino?
