Scented Sachets

Scented sachets are great for cars, gym bags, drawers, or anywhere your guests would like to experience the benefits of essential oils long after your party.

Add a few drops of Lavender essential oil to some rice and mix with dried Lavender. Scoop a few teaspoons into an organza bag.

Essential Oils Samples

Samples are a good way to introduce essential oils to family and friends while leaving them with a memorable gift.

You can give single sample vials or include some of your favorite oils or blends. Tie a card around the bottle explaining the benefits and instructions for use.

Name that Scent Game

Create fun interaction while sharing what you love with others.

• Choose a few of your favorite oils. Cover the label with masking tape.

• Allow each guest to smell each oil and then try to guess what that oil is. Have them write their guesses on a piece of paper.

• After each guest has had an opportunity to smell each oil and write their guesses, give them the correct answers. As you give the answers, share any additional information about that oil.

• You can give samples of oils or products as prizes to anyone who got all of the answers correct.

Create Your Own Birthday Blend

Using the oils that you have on hand, invite each one of your guests to create a personal birthday blend in a sample vial that they can keep.
