DIYs for Mum

A grounding massage oil is a perfect DIY gift for your mum as it provides both physical and emotional benefits. This massage oil contains essential oils that help to calm the mind and body, reduce stress, and promote a sense of balance and stability. By using natural and non-toxic ingredients, you can create a massage oil that is gentle on the skin and provides a soothing and relaxing experience for your mum.

Making a grounding massage oil is surprisingly easy and requires only a few simple ingredients. You can start with a carrier oil like Sweet Almond, Coconut or Jojoba oil and add your favourite essential oils. Your mum can then use this oil to massage her feet, hands, or neck for a grounding and calming experience. By creating a grounding massage oil yourself, you not only save money but also give your mom a personalised gift that shows how much you care about her wellbeing.

A body scrub is a great DIY gift idea for your mum as it provides many benefits for the skin.
