1. Essential Oil Collections

 Aromatherapy is beneficial to almost anyone and essential oils make great gifts. What I like about these collections of essential oils, is the oils can be used without an essential oil diffuser. The small bottles of essential oils come in a set of three essential oils and include mini wool balls to put the fragrant oils on. So the recipient of the gift can enjoy the benefits of the oils almost anywhere. The boxes that the aromatherapy oils come in are so easy to wrap.


The Kokokahn Essential Oils are oils that support daily life and have health benefits. The Wellness Collection supports support stress, sleep, and breathing. While the Winter Collection has holiday aromas to support health during the winter months. The essential oils can be used in a diffuser, on bedsheets, in the shower, or on the included wool balls.

This gift is a very useful gift that anyone who has a sofa or couch will enjoy. It is a where has this item been all my life? Your friends will love the gift of a drink holder so they can enjoy their favorite beverage while relaxing and not have to worry about it spilling.
