Hi, everyone! Today we’re joining with a group of bloggers to share our favorite DIY teacher gift ideas, because it’s that time of year again.
I actually made homemade salsa for my kids’ school teachers, and I’ll share that recipe in a few days, but today I’m sharing my favorite Christmas gift idea for my daughter’s ballet teachers–Peppermint Sugar Scrub. If you’ve ever seen a ballerina’s feet, then you know that they take a beating!
Peppermint is a natural refresher and energizer (and deodorizer–yes, pointe-shoe feet, I’m talking to YOU), plus it’s the perfect seasonal fragrance.
The recipe couldn’t be easier:
The coconut oil I use is right off the shelf in the baking aisle, and one batch fills these large jars that I buy at Hobby Lobby (on sale, they’re only $1.50 each).
The holly labels are below and ready to print out on Avery 22830 round labels.

I like to pair these with small silver spoons that I snag at yard sales and thrift shops throughout the year.
The red and white striped labels are below, if you prefer them:

Don’t have a collection of tiny silver spoons on hand? Then these small wooden scoops are just the right size. A length of red and white baker’s twine finishes off the packaging and they’re ready to go!
Here are all of the products I used for this recipe:

Here’s a picture of my ballerina in her first week of Nutcracker performances (two more weeks to go!); we soaked her feet and used this scrub on them almost every night after rehearsal.
Her ballet teachers always give this recipe a thumbs up, too.
