Christmas has almost arrived and as this time of year is always busy with festivities, here are some ideas for gifts for family and friends which can be bought online and sent directly to the recipients via Aqua Oleum.
In our gift section on the website we have some unique presents including our Blending Notebook made by London stationers Mark + Fold exclusively for Aqua Oleum. Complied by Julia Lawless, the notebook is full of guidance & formulation ideas to get started in developing a multitude of aromatherapy elixirs at home. Containing all key information to create aromatic blends, with journal pages to record personal formulations, this would make a great gift for a creative type of person.
Exclusive ready-made gifts include our Beauty Blending Box and our Unwind Blending Box which each contain a copy of the ‘Blending notebook’, a specific multi-purpose carrier oil, a selection of essential oils plus all the equipment required for making aromatic products at home, such as glass measuring beakers and smelling strips. The former kit is aimed at making beauty skincare elixirs to hydrate, rejuvenate & nourish the skin, while the latter is curated to help reduce stress and anxiety, to aid sleep and to make aromatic creations to relax, recharge & unwind.
Our range of Diffusion Blends make perfect gifts for a variety of different situations: for example, Festive is perfect to use in one of our Oil Vaporisers in order to evoke a warm and uplifting atmosphere over the Christmas season; Brighten is a fresh, zesty fragrance that is revitalising which promotes joy and optimism for the New Year; Mountain Air which is based on coniferous oils such as juniper & black spruce, helps to cleanse the air and eliminate air-borne germs within the home; Serenity is a soft, incense-like aroma based on frankincense oil that is grounding and harmonising, encouraging a sense of calm and tranquility. Spicy oils are always lovely to diffuse over the Christmas season since their scent is so traditionally festive and help to bring cheer and also protect the environment from any kind of air-borne infections… oils such as clove, cardamom or allspice.
Choose from our selection of classic feminine perfumes such as jasmine, rose or neroli which are all available in 5% dilutions and ready to be applied to the wrist and neck throughout the day, or our more exotic floral oils such as tuberose, frangipani or wild rose absolute which are more suited to the night time. These are all exquisite, pure and potent perfumes which are 100% natural and contain no artificial ingredients, preservatives or alcohol! I can guarantee that once one experiences these beautiful alternatives to commercial products, there is no turning back!
For men there are many Aqua Oleum oils and blends that would make valuable gifts, for example, our Aqua Oleum Body/Massage Oil range which includes Vitality, a blend which supports and eases the muscles before and after vigorous activity is a favorite with men, as is our best selling Aches & Pains blend. Essential oils such as sandalwood, cedarwood or cypress as well as more unusual oils such as patchouli or vetivert make ideal gifts … especially when blended with base oils such as light coconut or jojoba to make nourishing hair or beard conditioners.
Wishing you a Happy Christmas and a restful and joyful New Year!
