Use Coconut Oil for an easy D.I.Y gift idea or keep it for yourself.
This is what I did:
Cleaned out a glass jar and glue gunned some ribbon around it and tied that into a pretty bow and then filled the jar with whipped coconut oil.
I could have just put the coconut oil in as it came but I wanted to make it softer and fluffier so I whipped it.
Done.
What makes this such a great, easy D.I.Y gift idea is that coconut oil is AMAZING on the skin and you can use it on your face as well as your body for softer lovelier skin.
This picture is of the actual jar I gave to my step-mom on her counter with her daily products.
Pure Virgin Coconut Oil is said to be a:
- moisturizer
- anti-ager
- multi-vitamin
- anti-wrinkle
- antibiotic
- multi-nutrient
- anti-oxidizer
for your skin and all in one shot! There has been a lot of research and reviews done on the benefits of coconut oil. Visit the Tropical Traditions site and browse around, you’ll be impressed.
Pure Virgin Coconut Oil will NOT clog your pores. This is because of it’s melting point and that it will melt into your skin in liquid form just from your body temperature.
The one I use and used for my D.I.Y gift was Organic Virgin Coconut Oil by Tropical Traditions and it was a quart in size. This gave me more than enough to make two jars of my D.I.Y. gifts and have enough left over for myself as well.

Have a great weekend!
How do you whip it up? And do you use this as a moisturizer? Is it too greasy to use in the morning?
I used an electric hand mixer, like what I’d use to mix up baking ingredients. It makes a great moisturizer and no, it shouldn’t be too greasy, absorbs nicely into skin 🙂
