Even if you’re shopping on a budget this season, or you don’t know a thing about essential oils, essential oils are a great gift to give. I’m sharing 50 of the best essential oil gifts in this Ultimate Essential Oil Gift Guide. But first let’s talk a little about essential oils to make sure you choose the best essential oil gifts for the loved ones in your life. 

Who Loves Essential Oil Gifts?

There are many types of people who love eo gifts – moms, nature lovers, people with allergies and sensitivities – and for good reason. Here’s why:

  1. True essential oils come from nature. So if you’re trying to eliminate toxins and chemicals from your home, you will love essential oils. 
  2. Essential oils are simple to use. There’s nothing complicated about them, just diffuse, or add a carrier oil and you’re good to go. 
  3. They’re versatile. One type of oil can be used for many purposes. And they’re good for home cleaners, skin care, muscles aches and more. 
  4. They’re cost effective. While essential oils may seem expensive initially, they really do go a long way because you only use a drop or two at a time. 
  5. Essential oils have a long shelf life because if they’re pure, they don’t go rancid like other oils or products. 
  6. They smell really good! Scent is one of those other layers to creating a lovely, peaceful home and essential oils are a great, natural way to do that. 

The 7 most popular “must-have” essential oils 

If you are unsure of essential oils and you haven’t really used them yourself before, the best essential oils to give as gifts are ones that many people like. The most popular single essential oils are:

1. Lavender

Lavender is the most universally liked essential oil. Its benefits include promoting a sense of calm and relaxation. 

2. Frankincense

Frankincense has been around for thousands of years and was one of the gifts the wise men presented shortly after Jesus’ birth. It is grounding and calming and is said to include healing properties. 

3. Peppermint

Peppermint essential oil is uplifting and invigorating. It can help relieve headaches when its vapors are inhaled and muscle soreness when rubbed (with a carrier oil) into the skin.  

4. Tea Tree

Tea tree oil is great for cleansing and purifying. We’ve used it at our house for years in place of pharmaceutical topical acne treatments. 

5. Grapefruit

Grapefruit essential oil is uplifting, cleansing and crisp. It’s a lovely light scent. 

6. Lemon

Lemon essential oil is great in all matter of cleaning supplies. It’s uplifting, refreshing and clean smelling. 

7. Sweet Orange

Sweet orange is a beautiful scent. When mixed with vanilla it smells a lot like a creamsicle! Otherwise, it’s just plain refreshing.

There are oodles of ideas in The Complete Guide to Using Essential Oils in Your Home*, that you could make and give as gifts. Or you could order a copy for each of your “oily” friends!

*Please note that this guide is for personal use only, one copy per person and should not be downloaded and given to multiple people from one purchase.

What is the best diffuser?

Diffusers are one of the most popular ways that people use essential oils in their home. These amazing little devices break down the oil into tiny modules and disperse them through the air. When you inhale the oils, these molecules enter the bloodstream almost instantly. Since the integrity of the oil stays intact, you get the full therapeutic benefits from the oils.  Depending on which oils you use, a diffuser can eliminate odors, purify the air, help you relax and help create a peaceful environment for sleeping. 

There are several types of diffusers and you can read more in-depth about them here, in my post called Essential Oil Diffusers 101. And the “best” one is always changing depending on whose list you read. But you would be safest to choose a highly rated diffuser on Amazon or a best-seller from stores like Saje. Aside from how the diffuser functions and its ratings, look for one that would suit your friend or family member’s home decor best. 

And if you remember to get a gift receipt, the recipient could always exchange the diffuser for one that suits them better.
