I run classes in lotions and potions and make things such as bath bombs, bath salts, pulse points, etc.

Have been booked to do 2 x 2 hour sessions mid December with a christmas theme.

I normally do a christmas blend up with mandarin and cinnamon and use that in bath bombs, also a peppermint creme one too.

Was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as feel like a bit of a change.

I have some chocolate fragrance so would quite like to use that in something too.

I have a budget of £1.50 per head, so packaging needs to be included in that, eg a rollerball costs 70p.

You could use Frankincense and Myrrh in a blend with some sweet orange in an jojoba base for a pulse point perfume, if that is within your budget, in one of those golden organza bags so that you have gold frankincense and myrrh.

I love frankincense and myrrh, but realise it's not to everyone's taste.
Cinnamon and sweet orange are a lovely Christmassy blend too for candles.

Well what things are associated with Christmas and the festive season?

Christmas trees - you can get Pine, Spruce, Cedarwood and Cypress essential oils
Citrus fruits - orange, lemon, mandarin, lime essential oils
The Nativity - frankincense and myrrh as Binah said, I love them, but usually put a drop of Rose in the mix too
Spices - cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, coriander

I sometimes do a Christmas bubble bath with a blend of oils in, or a Christmas soap ditto.

You could do a post Christmas party detox massage blend - Juniperberry/Grapefruit/Fennel. Or maybe its better to wait till the New Year for that one.

A chocolate body mousse is very popular one for couples (I'll leave that to your imagination).

Hi guruholistics

You can add powdered chocolate (only the best though) to a cream base and whisk it up, you can mix the chocolate with some oil before you blend with cream.
