Last minute gift idea

If your say, trying to throw together a Christmas gift for your kid's teachers the night before their last day of school, here is what I would recommend.

Candy Cane Sugar Scrub

1/2 C. white granulated sugar

1/4 C. olive oil

1 1/2 Tbs. very finely crushed candy canes or peppermint candies

Optional: 1-2 drops peppermint oil

Directions: Crush candy canes into small pieces by hand, then use a blender to chop into a fine powder. Mix all ingredients in a bowl, then pour into a cute little container. (Mine came from Hobby Lobby.)

Decorate your jar with a cute little bow and tag and then enjoy the smell of peppermint throughout your whole house!

  1. Silly question, but do you really use this in the shower as a scrub? I am certain it smells DELICIOUS! Also, where did you find the cute jars??
