What makes “the holidays,” “the holidays”?

Happy December, New Day oils enthusiasts!

What makes the holidays so special?  Ask that question to 10 people and you’re likely to get 10 different answers.

But the common thread in those 10 different answers is likely to be that it’s a mood.  It’s a feeling.  A feeling of magic and “specialness.”

Essential oils are so perfect for setting a mood and creating a magical feeling of specialness!

If thinking of the holidays instantly brings to mind for you the scent of cinnamon, clove, pine, and orange, using essential oils is a the perfect way to help set the holiday mood for you and your guests!  Diffuse a little Frankincense as well to bring even more holiday magic into the mix.

But there’s also another way that essential oils can accentuate the mood of “specialness.”

Did you ever notice that some people prefer to give (and receive) holiday gifts that are useful and practical?  My mom is famous for this.  Most gifts I receive for her are based on her finding out something that might make my life as it exists better and easier in some practical way.  Recent helpful gifts from her include new kitchen dish towels and a new set of glasses from Williams Sonoma.

Sometimes giving and receiving a practical, useful gift is perfect.  It makes the person feel special because you noticed them and their unique needs.  And now you’ve just saved them money on something they would have had to buy themselves.

Sometimes, though, it’s fun to give or receive a gift that isn’t something you’d necessarily buy for yourself. Receiving, for example, a beautiful piece of art or jewelry can feel special, luxurious, and abundant.

Essential oils from Young Living make great gifts for both the practical person 
and then fancy person in your life.

 Here is a list of gift ideas for both of them!

The practical person

  • Know a health conscious person who is constantly popping gum or breath mints? Gift them a Peppermint Vitality essential oil for a healthier alternative they’ll love
  • A mom or a teacher with kids who get sick all the time?  Gift them a Thieves essential oil blend or a Eucalyptus Globulus for improved immune function and respiratory relief
  • A sales person or a realtor who spends a lot of time driving around? Gift them a Lavender essential oil with some cotton balls so that they can scent up their car while they drive (by putting scented cotton balls in the vents)
  • Your favorite massage therapist, healer, talk therapist, doctor, or body worker? Gift them a White Angelica oil blend, to help them maintain abundant energy and focus while working with clients

The fancy person

  • Your little sister who loves daydreaming and romance? Gift her Joy essential oil blend and she’ll love you forever
  • Your best friend from college who loves adventure and world travel?  Valor essential oil blend will strengthen their sense of boldness and daring, and have them truly feeling in their element
  • Your friend who just started a daily meditation practice?  They will love adding Sacred Mountain essential oil blend, or Frankincense for extra meditation magic
  • Your health coach or health minded friend who’s always up on the latest “fountain of youth” will love receiving Copaiba, a powerful antioxidant essential oil, and they’ll appreciate the purity and quality of Young Living’s version
