If you are looking for a fun gift for someone over the holiday season and don’t want to spend a lot of money, then a DIY is the perfect option. For the holidays especially, peppermint is a good bonus in any gift because of its high popularity. Peppermint soothes the body with its cooling scent while it helps to reduce headaches and boosts energy, according to Dr. Axe. When combined with the benefits of body scrubs, which moisturize and exfoliate, states The Today Show, it makes the perfect holiday gift.

• 1/2 cup mild-flavored oil (olive oil, coconut oil)
