Holiday Gift Guide 2024

It's the season of gifting, and we love to share our love of Young Living with the people on our list!! From amazing rollers to diffuser and oils to festive home favorites, there are so many ways to give the gift of wellness. No matter who you're shopping for this season, here are some great ideas!

There is no shortage of amazing products you can gift, and many of them work so well together! But don't forget that you can also grab an oil or two and make multiple gifts that people will really love to receive.

Gifts for Teachers

When gifting small items, we love to place them in a mason jar with crinkled paper and tie it with a festive ribbon!
Gifts for Neighbors & Hosts/Hostesses

When it comes to neighbors and hosts, adding a special touch of something you made is a great idea! Place the items in a small basket, (thrift stores are a great place to get inexpensive baskets – just give them a good clean with Thieves Household Cleaner!) and you're all set.

Easy Recipes and DIYs

Sweet Cinnamon Whipped Butter

This sweet cinnamon butter is always a hit, especially when paired with fresh bread. Not a baker? Grab a fresh loaf from a local bakery!
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 2-3 drops Cinnamon Bark Vitality essential oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of salt (optional)
    Step 1 - Add softened butter to a mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer. Whip slightly, then add in honey or maple syrup. With the mixer running, add the Cinnamon Bark Vitality, vanilla extract, and salt (if using).
    Step 2 - Whip the mixture on medium speed until it's light and fluffy – about 3-5 minutes. Transfer to a mason jar, seal the lid, and place a festive ribbon on it. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
    Step 3 - Add a card that reads: Use this sweet cinnamon whipped butter on warm bread, pancakes, waffles, or as a delicious topping for muffins and scones. Enjoy your  festive treat!
Herbed Cooking & Grilling Salts

To a pint sized mason jar mix together:
  • 1 cup coarse Himalayan salt
  • 5 drops Rosemary Vitality essential oil
  • 5 drops Oregano Vitality essential oil (optional)
  • Roughly chopped fresh rosemary
    Add a note tied to the jar that says: Use your herb-infused salt for grilling vegetables, meats, or as a seasoning for baked dishes. It can also be sprinkled on roasted potatoes or used as a finishing salt for soups and salads!
Homemade Sugar Cookie Mix
In a clean, dry mason jar, layer the ingredients in the following order:
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
    Close the lid tightly and add a decorative label and ribbon with the following instructions for baking the cookies. 
To Make Sugar Cookies:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Gather Wet Ingredients:
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
    Step 1 - In a large bowl, whip 1 cup softened butter until smooth, then add 1 egg and 1 tablespoon vanilla extract.
    Step 2 - Add the mix from the mason jar to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Add 5 drops of Lemon Vitality.
    Step 3 - Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
    Step 4 - Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked but will firm up as they cool.

Everyone needs Stress Away in their life! This blend is a fan favorite for good reason, so grab a bottle and make some rollers to gift. The recipients will love it! Each bottle of Stress Away will make about 15 rollers using this recipe. To a pretty 10mL roller bottle add:
