This easy four-ingredient sugar scrub is simple to make and inexpensive. It’s the perfect homemade gift for girlfriends or family. I plan to use mine as a housewarming gift, birthday gift and a hostess gift. You could even make these for your bridal party, or as favors for a baby shower. The gift ideas are endless!

To package my Vanilla-Coconut Sugar Body Scrub for gifting, I spooned the scrub into small mason jars. Then I covered the jar lid with a personalized label, and added a tag to complete my gift!

Your photography is absolutely amazing and now I just wanna smother my body in this deeee-licious scrub! <3
Love Love Love this scrub. I use it all over my body in the shower a couple times a week and it has taken the place of my face cleanser. Stupid easy to make and smells good enough to eat 🙂 Thank you for sharing this recipe, I make it all the time.
Glad you love the scrub as much as I do Kate – and yes it smells good enough to eat! 😉
I have seen something similar as a baby shower favor that was pink. Have you ever tried this and if so what additive might I use for a baby pink color?? Love your ideas and photography as well! Thanks for sharing;)
This is amazing. How many jars can you get from this recipe?
Sounds Delicious!
How long will this keep?
Want to make ahead for a few people for Christmas.
