Holiday Boxed Gift Set

Spread a little holiday cheer with this fun, giftable project idea. Packed with a few of our favorite scented things, this gift set makes a beautiful, personal gift for friends and family this holiday season.

We chose to create a sampling of holiday-themed goodies and scents for this boxed set. The enamel candle mug features a blend of Fraser Fir and Fireside, the Lump of Coal Hand Soap was made with Tonka and Oud, and we saved one of our favorite holiday scents, White Currant, for the reed diffuser.

There are so many fragrance possibilities and ways to personalize this gift set! Get creative by selecting some holiday-themed scents like Frosted Juniper, Vanilla Eggnog, and Christmas Hearth or choose a top-seller like Black Sea, Sea Salt and Orchid, or Amber Noir.

Ready to get started? Let’s unbox and take a look at what’s inside.

Lump of Coal Hand Soap

These hand soaps are a fun, tongue-in-cheek addition to this gift set and perfect for anyone, no matter if they've been naughty or nice.

To create the lump of coal soap pictured, we chose our Black Liquid Soap Dye for color.

Reed Diffuser

Reed diffusers fill a room beautifully with fragrance without heat or flame. This stylish container is an eye-catching addition to any room!

To create the reed diffuser pictured, we used our Silver Round Reed Diffuser Bottle with Diffuser Reeds in Black. Don't forget the Bottle Stopper for packaging!

To tie everything together, we package our handmade items in a festive gift box, wrapped with golden twine and brass jingle bells. You can match your gift sets to any style of packaging you desire with custom holiday labels from Avery WePrint.
