This body scrub is the perfect self love homemade gift to give during the holidays or any gift giving occasion. It’s easy to make and inexpensive depending on where you buy your ingredients.

I bought my coffee grounds and brown sugar at the 99 cent store, small jars from Michael’s using a 40% off coupon, coconut oil from Trader Joe’s, vitamin E oil and essential oils from Marshalls. I used Lavender Oil in my body scrub but another good scent to use is Orange Oil or any scent you prefer.
