- 1). Create the custom perfume blend. Combine a few essential oils to create a scent that you prefer. Pour 4 oz. of the perfume blend into a perfume bottle, and screw the cap on tightly. Reserve the remaining oil for the other products.
- 2). Place the perfume bottle into the gift box.
- 3). Use some of the remaining blend to make handmade perfumed soap. Put on rubber gloves and protective goggles. Combine 7 oz. of lye and 16 oz. of water in a glass measuring cup. Combine 32 oz. of olive oil and 16 oz. of coconut oil into a pot, heating them over medium heat. Place a candy thermometer into both mixtures. When they both reach 100 degrees, pour the lye water into the oils. Add in 1 oz. of the perfume blend. Stir the mixture for 30 minutes until the mixture thickens. Pour the soap mixture into soap molds, and place them into a cool, dark room for six weeks.
- 4). Place the perfumed soaps into the gift box.
- 5). Use the remaining blend to make perfumed lotion. Place 4 oz. of beeswax into a double boiler and heat it over medium heat until it melts. Pour the beeswax, 2 oz. of olive oil, 2 oz. of aloe vera gel and 1 oz. of the perfume blend into a blender. Blend the mixture in high for 5 minutes, then pour it into individual glass jars. Once cool, screw the lids onto the jars.
- 6). Place the perfumed lotion jars into the gift box.
- 7). Wrap a ribbon around the box, then give the perfume gift box to a friend or family member.
