Apple Cider-Scented Gift Ideas

If you are looking for more seasonal scents and blends, why not go with the smell of 
apple cider? You probably see a lot of blends with scents like Christmas trees and 
gingerbread cookies, but why not go with something subtle and seasonal? The great 
thing about the apple cider blend is that it can work for fall and winter, so you have even 
more opportunities to use it.

Blends You Can Make

Before looking into the different types of gifts that use apple cider blends, you first need 
to put together this blend. The apple cider doesn’t actually use apple, as there is not an 
‘apple’ essential oil. Instead, you are going to use some of the other scents that remind 
you of this type of spiced cider, which really do make it taste just like your favorite cider 
to enjoy during the fall or winter holidays. 

The scents you want to start with are ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, orange, and any other 
spices you can think of or that you have on hand. Some blends that work great as a 
cider blend include:

Orange, ginger, and cinnamon
Nutmeg, orange, and cinnamon

Experiment by adding one drop of each scent at a time to an empty amber glass bottle 
until you are happy with the final result. 

Make Your Own Candles

There are a wide range of gifts you can make with your new apple cider-scented 
essential oil blend, starting with a simple one – candles. The great thing about candles 
is that they are something everyone can use. Depending on the recipient, they might put 
it on their kitchen counter, in their bathroom, or even in the office. It is a versatile gift 
that isn’t difficult to make when you start with a candle-making kit.

Try Apple Potpourri

What better way to use apple, orange, cinnamon, and other spices in an essential oil 
blend than to make potpourri that smells just like apple cider? If you want your home to 
have the smell of this blend without actually burning candles, then potpourri is the next 
best thing. No need to worry about lighting a candle, and you can just leave out a bowl 
or jar filled with the homemade potpourri. Just add your oils to dried flowers and leaves, 
put it in a bowl without a lid, and place it in an area of your home where you would like 
to have this smell.
