The HodgePodgery, an artisan shop located in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, recently announced that a soap making demo will be held on May 21st from 6-9pm. Join Jana MacGinnes and Barbara Kline from Soap Du Jour as they take you through the process of soap making. Learn how to pamper yourself using luxurious homemade soap with the therapeutic properties of essential oils. All soaps are made with a base of olive, coconut, palm and other oils which moisturize your skin and create a very sudsy bathing experience.

They will have Peppermint Patty bars using essential oils of peppermint and chocolate and cocoa butter, Green Tea using essential oils, botanical extracts and grape seed oil, Oatmeal Honey which is fabulous as a facial cleanser/moisturizer and gentle enough for baby, and more.

If you love simple handmade gifts that still feel festive and special, this DIY Christmas Cherry Body Scrub from CraftBits is such a fun little project. It is bright, pretty, and has that sweet cherry scent that makes it feel perfect for Christmas gifting.

What I like about this tutorial is how easy it is to pull together. The scrub uses granulated sugar, sweet almond oil or another carrier oil, red cherry fragrance oil, and a touch of mica powder for color, so it feels like one of those projects you can make quickly but still package up beautifully.

It is the kind of bath and body recipe that works really well for teacher gifts, stocking stuffers, hostess gifts, or just a little festive treat for yourself. The pretty pink-red color and cherry fragrance give it a cheerful Christmas feel without needing anything too complicated.

The tutorial itself is wonderfully straightforward too. You simply combine the ingredients well and store the finished scrub in an airtight container, which makes this a lovely beginner-friendly project for holiday crafting.

If you are looking for a quick Christmas body scrub recipe that feels handmade, giftable, and easy to recreate, this one is a sweet little pick.
