Body and foot scrubs make the most wonderful holiday gifts because they smell AMAAAAAZING, feel good, are easy to make, and best of all – will fit within any budget. Yep – you can whip up a scrub for under $2 or $3, when in the store it would cost upwards of 20 smackaroos’s. As far as the gift aspect is concerned, it’s all about how you package and decorate the jar. So I would definitely recommend you have a go at making my 2 DIY Holiday Gift Scrubs
