This Cranberry Body Scrub is a perfect seasonal gift idea! Made with cranberries, coconut oil and sugar this homemade scrub is easy to whip up!
I love giving handmade gifts. They’re full of such love and thought!
This Christmas season, I am so excited to give these Cranberry Body Scrubs to some of my friends.
They are so easy to make too! When I did my BJ’s Holiday Challenge a couple of week’s ago, I was left with a wholesale sized bag of cranberries. So I’ve been creating all kinds of wonderful recipes with it!
How to Make Cranberry Body Scrub:
In a blender, blend together
1 cup of cranberries
1 cup of coconut oil
Next, in a big bowl, pour the blended cranberries in and add 1 cup of white sugar and 1 tbsp of cinnamon.
Mix everything together.
Add your mixture to mason jars. I used a canning funnel to help get the mixture in without spilling it.
Seal off your jars with the lids and decorate with a piece of rosemary and a cinnamon stick.
You will want to use the scrub right away since the ingredients are fresh. It will only last about a week. That is why I chose to use smaller jars.
Do you like to give homemade gifts? If so, what is your favorite to give?

I love, love, love body scrubs! I actually live in the cranberry capitol of the world (yes, seriously – the Ocean Spray HQ is right up the street from my house), so we love cranberries around here.

Love this idea and am going to make some of these this week. Got several people who I know would love getting this body scrub.

I am really all about cranberry but only “appreciate” it this time of year. Not sure why. But – I bet that scrub smells (and feels) super fabulous!
Lesley Carter says
I love giving homemade gifts, especially things I can make with my daughter. Baking is usually our go-to but something like this would defiantly work.

This looks like it would be a great gift. And it reminded me that I just bought some cranberries to make a new dessert for the holidays. I love the smell of cranberries, but just like them in small doses so I thought a small dessert might be nice.
Allison says
This looks amazing! I am all about some self pampering at home! This scrub is perfect for that and would make a great gift!
Natalia says
That looks lux! Love scrubs. I recently had a strawberry face scrub and I wanted to eat it so bad!

I’ve never made fresh body scrub, but seriously after reading this post I really want to make it. It’s not only good for skin treatment, but it’s fresh, and the smell must be amazing!

Even just the color is so pretty! I love this seasonal fruit.

This looks like the perfect homemade gift! I love body scrub and this is so festive for the holidays! I’m from New England, home of the cranberries. I try to cook and use it in as many things as possible 🙂

What a creative way to use cranberry! I also love the roundup of recipes you included.

That’s a really cute gift! I’m not sold on using cranberries a ton in recipes since they can be really tart, but the scrub is a great idea.
