Living in the Pacific Northwest can have you cooped up inside because of the rainy days. What I like to do on days like that is to have some fun making more easy gifts for family and friends.
I enjoy giving gifts that are all natural and are not harmful in anyway, such as being free of toxins and chemicals. Instead they are made with Young Living therapeutic-grade essential oils. More and more people are becoming better educated and realizing they need to be making changes in what not to purchase in the stores. This is where my next fun easy gift idea comes in.
Spritzers with therapeutic-grade essential oils, not only are beneficial for you but they smell luscious. None of that perfume chemical smell. I actually have to walk quickly by any stores, like those bed & bath supply stores, because the smell is too much for me to be near.
Here is the list of supplies you will need to get yourself started:
- Glass spray bottles. Can be purchase through: www.abundanthealth4u.com
- Grain alcohol – 90 to 105 proof Vodka
- Young Living essential oils of choice.
Single Oils
- Lavender-A fresh, sweet, floral, herbaceous aroma that is soothing and refreshing. Because it is the most versatile of all essential oils, no home should be without it. It may assist the body when adapting to stress or imbalances.
- Lemon-A strong, purifying, citrus scent that is revitalizing and uplifting. Lemon consists of 68 percent dlimonene, a powerful antioxidant.
- Peppermint-A strong, clean, fresh, minty aroma. Very refreshing and awakening.

Blends
- Abundance-was created to enhance the frequency of the harmonic magnetic energy field that surrounds us. This higher frequency creates what is called “the law of attraction,” which refers to the things we attract to ourselves. Abundance opens us to a wealth of possibilities.*
- Christmas Spirit-is a sweet, spicy blend of orange, cinnamon, and spruce essential oils that tap into the happiness, joy, and security associated with the holiday season.*
- Citrus Fresh-is a relaxing, calming blend loved by children and adults alike. Rich in the powerful antioxidant d-limonene, it supports the immune system and overall health while bringing about a sense of well-being, creativity, and feelings of joy. It also works as an air purifier.*
- Evergreen Essence-takes you back to nature by combining the scents of a variety of aromatic pine, cedar, and spruce trees. Crisp and invigorating, it refreshes your senses. This blend changes slightly from season to season. Evergreen Essence is a seasonal item, usually available in the winter.
- Gentle Baby-is a soft, fragrant combination of essential oils designed specifically for mothers and babies. It may help calm emotions during pregnancy and is useful for quieting troubled little ones. It is also soothing to tender skin*
- Joy-is a luxuriously exotic blend with uplifting overtones that creates magnetic energy and brings joy to the heart. When worn as cologne or perfume, Joy exudes an alluring and irresistible fragrance that inspires romance and togetherness. When diffused, it may be refreshing and uplifting.*
- Peace & Calming-is a gentle, fragrant blend. When diffused, it may help calm tensions and uplift the spirit, promoting relaxation and a deep sense of peace. Peace & Calming may be especially calming and comforting to young children after an overactive and stressful day.*
- Purification-can be used directly on the skin to cleanse and soothe insect bites, cuts, and scrapes. When diffused, it helps to purify and cleanse the air from environmental impurities including cigarette smoke and other disagreeable odors.
- Thieves-This proprietary essential oil blend was university tested for its cleansing abilities. It is highly effective in supporting the immune system and good health.*
- White Angelica-is a calming and soothing blend that encourages feelings of protection and security. It combines oils used during ancient times to enhance the body’s aura, which brings about a sense of strength and endurance. Many people use it as protection against negative energy.
Directions for creating Spritzers:
- Fill 1 ounce glass spray bottle half way with alcohol.
- Drop 10 drops of Young Living therapeutic-grade essential in bottle.
- Finally, fill bottle with alcohol. Spray and smell. You may need to add more essential oil to get the best scent.
- Apply pretty labels, with ingredients.
- Apply labels saying; Spray in the air to fill the room with beautiful scent. Spray on clothing, linens, bedding, towels or furniture, for freshening and lovely scents.
When you spray the spritzer on your clothing, it is a wonderful aromatherapy perfume and people always comment on the wonderful scents. So try it out and see the response that you get from people.
These spritzers are excellent for freshening any stale air, or rooms that have stinky smells, like the bathroom can get to be at times. So having a bottle handy in the bath room is nice to be able to grab whenever one needs to squirt a more pleasant scent into the air.
Every time I give someone a spritzer gift, they want to learn how to make them too. I always explain that spritzing is a quick way to freshen the air, but to get even more added benefit from therapeutic-grade essential oils, is to diffuse the essential oils into the air.
