Once again, that little light bulb went off in my head and I realized that this could be special, unique and enjoyable all at the same time! Special: because it's a homemade gift from the heart. Unique: because it's made from brown sugar. Enjoyable: because it feels oh, so good on your skin! I decided at that point, this would be a great Christmas gift and even a good birthday gift for friends throughout the year! I immediately started thinking about the cute packaging I could use to send these in and decided on mason jars with festive scrapbooking paper and fun ribbon that was already at my dispense! While Christmas is not here yet, I can tell you that I sent one to my Mom for her birthday and she absolutely LOVED it!

Yay! Isn't it fun to make?!?! I really need to make one for MYSELF! Thanks for the shout-out!
YES!!! I love it and it was so easy (and much less expensive). Thanks to your new found love, we have a great gift idea!
This is such a great idea. Where did you end up buying the almond oil?
Sara, I actually found it at Whole Foods but I know some grocery stores carry it as well. I had a difficult time finding it in mine, but had no problem getting it at Whole Foods. They sell it in different sizes and it's pretty inexpensive! It smells soooo good!
