It just occurred to me that this would also be very good in recipes - it's all natural salt, oil, dried herbs... if you don't want to use it as a body scrub just make some and add a little to a marinade or salad dressing!
To make 2 jars (I think these are half-pint jars, I like that they are wide mouth so it will be easier to scoop the scrub out) mix together 2 cups fine mediterranean sea salt and 1+ Tablespoons Herbs de Provence (store bought mixture of different herbs including rosemary and lavender), then add 1 cup of sunflower oil and mix well (I used my Pampered Chef meat chopping thing to get any lumps out and make sure the mixture is smooth - a spoon would work fine!).
If you don't have those exact ingredients and want to make this using what you have on hand I would substitute table salt and olive oil, then whatever dried herbs you have that seem spa-like (rosemary, thyme, sage, lavender, citrus...).
Put in jars, make a label, tie with a ribbon or twine if you want.
I know just who I'm giving these to, but will keep a secret for now - I'm pretty sure they'll see this!
