Want to make gifts for the holidays with items from your kitchen? You can whip up this Vanilla Brown Sugar Scrub with ingredients you have already, in just minutes!
Supplies:
sealable jars {I used 5.4 ounce glass canisters from Target}
labels {Paper Bag Rectangle from Paper Source}
sugar
brown sugar
grapeseed oil {health food store/Trader Joe's} but you can substitute EVOO
vanilla
mixing bowl
spatula
ice cream scoop
Mix 1 cup sugar, 1 cup brown sugar, 1 cup oil and 2-3 teaspoons vanilla thoroughly. Using an ice cream scoop, scoop into jars, label and seal! Click here for free printable label template!
To wrap, I just cut a square of scrap burlap {from my burlap runners} and tied it off with a manilla tag {office supply or craft store}. These make great gifts for the holidays or hostess gifts!

I LOVE this and will use it for my bridal shower hostesses! Do you have any ideas for cool groomsmen gifts that are also appropriate for a 14 year old groomsman?
Thanks! How about hats or tees for the groom's favorite team?
They've got it all! We found cuff links made of game used baseballs on etsy! Might go with that. I'm about to whip up 15 4 oz jars of this sugar scrub! Can't wait to see how well they love it!
when you say vanilla, do you mean vanilla extract?
Yes, I tend to use it's alcohol form, but extract is perfect.
how many jars did you fill?
I believe 5, but it's been a year since I've made them. Enjoy!

Hi there! Considering making this for a gift and wondering how exactly they should use the scrub. Is this meant to be used as a face scrub or body scrub? Thanks for the help!
I just use it as a body scrub-you'll love it and it's so easy!
So the sugar doesn't disolve? Will it keep for quite a while?
Great idea, loove vanilla
It doesn't - it's not soluble in oil, making for a great scrub!
