Give as a gift
This body scrub would make a great gift. There are so many pretty glass jars on the market, or, with the make do and mend trend being so popular, why not scour charity shops for a pretty container. Add a ribbon and label for a handmade treat at a fraction of the price of a store-bought jar.
