Natural living gift guide has gift ideas for the naturally minded friends and family on your list.

Gifts for the Natural Mama or Natural Mama Wannabe

DIY Gifts for the Natural Mama

I think handmade gifts are so special. I often give DIY body butter, bath salts or lip balms to friends in gift baskets. Everyone raves about them!

Quality ingredients make all the difference. They make a cost-saving gift feel luxurious.

These are my favorite DIY gifts to make and put in baskets.


*Bombshell Basket*

A perfume roll on, glow serum for face and skin scrub (for face or body) are the stars of this DIY gift basket for a natural mama who likes to feel pampered. (Who doesn’t?!)

DIY perfume roll on – These are my favorite combos to make DIY perfume.

Sclaressence, Joy, Ylang Ylang + Lemon, or Bergamot + Lavender are some of my favorites.

Glow serum – In a small dropper bottle, combine 2 drops of each essential oil below and top off with jojoba oil at the end.

Blue Cypress

Ylang Ylang

Citrus Fresh

Grapefruit

Lemon

Lavender

Frankincense

Geranium

Patchouli

Skin scrub – This is so versatile. It can be used on the face a couple times per week or use it on arms and legs to exfoliate and reveal healthy skin.

Mix together 1 T baking soda, 1T table salt, ¼ cup coconut oil in a small jar. Then drop in 5 drops each of lavender, peppermint and lemon essential oils. This will smell so great and make your face feel so smooth.


*Relax Mama Gift Basket*

Ooh the spa at home life will be strong with this collection. These DIY items combine body butter, bath salts (that can be used as a foot soak too) and a relaxation roll on. Any mama will feel deep relaxation and of course very loved when she receives this gift.

DIY body butter – I have shared two body butter recipes on the blog. One is super luxurious night cream and the other is a rejuvenating fresh citrus version.

Bath salts – Easily make multiple jars of these bath salts in less than 10 minutes. I shared the recipe and made the jars live so you can see it in real time. Check out my making DIY bath salts gift idea.

Relax roller – I buy these rollers on Amazon. Into the roller I put 10 drops each Lavender, Vetiver and Frankincense then top off with olive oil or fractionated coconut oil.

A second combo you could try is dripping 30 drops of Stress Away into the roller bottle and top of with your carrier oil. Choose your favorite and make that one in bulk for friends, teachers, Sunday school teachers and neighbors.

**Try these additional DIY gift ideas that inexpensive to make!**


Book Ideas: Natural Living Gift Guide

Know a nerdy mama (like me) who loves reading about how the body works, health and learning how to live naturally? I have the go-to book list for natural living.

Wheat Belly

Grain Brain

Healing Oils of the Bible

DK Human Body

30-Second Anatomy

God’s Healthcare

Make a great book gift basket of a couple books plus a mug and Vitality tea set. Learning and relaxation in one for the naturally minded mamas.

Pre-packed click and ship gifts

My two favorite natural living-aligned companies are Young Living and Scout & Cellar. I told you in a recent video in our community group Stay at Home Moms Share Together why I joined Scout & Cellar.

Both companies operate with integrity and keep the bar high with their purity standards.

Pre-Packaged Gifts for Moms from Young Living

The demand for Young Living products actually broke their entire website a few weeks back. That is a sign that this company is making products that have an impact.

The Young Living holiday catalog provides members and retail customers the chance to order unique wellness-supporting gifts for those on their list.

Right now when you join Young Living and order from the Holiday gift guide, you will receive free shipping, a welcome packet of information from me, access to our members-only group Natural Living Easy Route, and products that have an impact.

The Young Living Foundation means that purchasing from YL makes you a partner in the foundation which is doing so much good around the world. No extra charge for you and you have a global impact.

Wine is an easy gift to give during the holidays or any time.

Gift Sets from Scout & Cellar

Who likes wine?! Wine gifts make an impact especially wines that are clean and not dirty.

Are you eating clean and drinking dirty? You may be and not even know it.

I learned about Scout & Cellar after trying the wine. I have always loved wine but never liked how there is added sugar and coloring in many store bought wines.

I felt horrible after drinking these and could start to notice them just by looking. Once I learned about Clean-Crafted™ wine, I was sold!

Scout & Cellar Clean-Crafted Wine is grown naturally with no synthetic pesticides. It’s bottled consciously, which means nothing funky is added in the cellar as it’s converting from grapes to wine!

Finally, you know when you spend all of that time looking at every ingredient label in the grocery store for High Fructose Corn Syrup? Well Scout & Cellar does that for us when it comes to all the junk that can be found in the average bottle of wine!

They test every bottle to make sure it is free of sugars, chemical preservatives, or anything else that isn’t found in nature. That is what makes it Clean-Crafted and what sets us apart from all other wines.

I wanted to make sure you know a couple of things: Shipping is free when you spend over $99!

Clean crafted wine for the naturally minded mamas.

Don’t forget about Scout Circle Wine Club! It ships free, too!

Also, we have some volume discounts to note: 6-11 bottles is 5% off, 12+ is 10% off if you are feeling like stocking up! And, really, who isn’t right now? Lastly, these wines will deliver right to your door.

Usually in 7-10 business days, but they can get it to you sooner if need be! (remember our wine club perk?)

Most importantly…they have a Satisfaction Guarantee that they stand by. Please know that any wine that you order that doesn’t live up to your expectations can be replaced. You seriously can’t go wrong!

Ok, your turn! Tell me which gift sets or gifts ideas were your favorite from this list?

As far as our home and homeschool, 2021 has been a As far as our home and homeschool, 2021 has been a dream so far! 

Kids are eager to learn and ask for more, we have a system down, and I am even getting rest time in the evening after the kitchen is cleaned up. My husband and I get time together while the kids are still awake which is important for them to see. 

It has taken some realization of truth to create this peace and balance. Teaching my kids is a full time job. I am giving it that time this year and it is making all the difference. #shed #deadweightisgone #focusonthepresent #focusonfamily #thisismywork #homeschoolingmom #homeschoolingmama #homeschoolisafulltimejob #intentionalhomeschooling #intentionalmotherhood #intentionalmama #wifeandmother #homemakingmotivation #schoolathome #lifebalance
How long have you known your spouse? This guy an How long have you known your spouse? 

This guy and I met our senior year of high school. What a journey we were in for and did not ever realize! 

•4 kids + 1 miscarriage
•Navigating long distance relationship while dating, engaged and married
•Working to build faith as the center and focus of “us”
•Loving each other at our ugliest moments
•Building our home team for the long term

Every time the world feels heavy, chaotic, and strange, our marriage is a safe place. It makes our home calm amongst the storm of global politics. 

I have grown content with our imperfections- because there are much bigger problems to navigate in the world...am I right?! 😳

That brings me so much peace. 

Loving not only how well we work together but also the ways we still need to improve. That is where I am in my marriage. Grateful to have so much history with this guy. It fills my tank for all the years we have ahead of us to navigate as well.

It does not matter if you are a man or a woman, yo It does not matter if you are a man or a woman, you can not do it all well. 

Hi, my name is Jaimi and sometimes I deliver truth that cuts to the heart. 👌😉

Women have been fed a lie that they can and need to juggle it all. I have learned to juggle. Eventually balls fall. 

As I took on more because I was told all that mattered was my mindset, I inevitably had to set aside the tasks that God called me to do first. We never take on more and more and more and stay in balance without setting aside more than we should.

It is not a matter of mindset, it is a matter of priorities.

Have you heard of the “one thing every day”? Many make that a clean kitchen, workout completed or devotional time. My one this is my family. If I focus on them each day I feel successful. 

In my home there is peace. The world is in chaos, power has become currency, and morals have fallen away. But “me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

It has nothing to do with gender. No one can take on something new without setting aside something they were working on already. 

Peace and order in my home is worth it. I am setting aside the things that bring chaos into my life and home. I am only focusing on the things that serve God here. 

What have you done to focus on success with completing your priorities this year? Have you made small changes to get there or large leaps?

Today we took the Christmas decorations down. It m Today we took the Christmas decorations down. It marked the real start of 2021 for us. 

For some reason I am feeling ready for Spring cleaning. Funny enough, as I was cleaning out some flower pots that had gone a little stagnant over the colder weeks, I saw shoots! My plants think Spring is on its way-it has been warm here over the last few days. 

Being greeted by this view as we were piling into the van this morning, felt energizing. 

My steps heading in to 2021 are more careful, pragmatic. It feels good to feel on course, back to what matters most, and have zero guilt for what I will put on the back burner this year to stay focused on giving my family my best.

Anyone else having about 3 Christmases with shippi Anyone else having about 3 Christmases with shipping challenges delaying packages? 🤣🤣

With family all long distance + the twins birthday 2 days after Christmas we end up with about 4 gift opening sessions over the course of Christmas week. I see no complaints from these kids. 😆 

How did package shipping go for you this year? Do you plan ahead for shipping gifts? 

We are definitely grateful for giving family. #christmasweek #giftopening #givinggifts #moregifts #feelingloved #holiday2020 #familytime2020

Every ornament on our tree holds meaning. Many are Every ornament on our tree holds meaning. Many are kid-made; some were gifts to commemorate milestones like marriage and births; some we purchased each year with the theme of that year to remind us. 

A few ornaments have impact for other reasons. They beautify our tree while impacting the lives of female crafters in parts of the world that need to be lifted up. This new addition has a backstory. Swipe right to read it. 🌟💜 I am blessed to support the @younglivingfoundation 

I love the memories of my tree. So many favorite ornaments. 

Which of your ornaments are your favorite?

Our acts of kindness Christmas countdown has been Our acts of kindness Christmas countdown has been going well. Weaving the activities in as learning, art and service projects in our school days has been our way of fitting in the extras this month. 

It is not that we ignore acts of kindness other times of the year. An act per day when some require driving or leg work to drop off gifts, cards or gather supplies adds some time. 

I want to keep this going after Christmas too to keep us actively displaying love and being the hands and feet of Jesus. Probably more for me than the kids!

To do that I want to make a bigger list of actions we can take. We have 25 plus a couple resources from @shelivesfree  and @coffeecupsandcrayons I will plug into a blog post. 

One act we did was decorating and sending Christmas cards to the grandparents. It was our “keep the hands busy and the mouths quiet” during read aloud time. (My method...) 

What are the random acts of kindness on your list? What are acts of kindness others have done for you that have been appreciated?
