I have not started my official shopping yet but I plan to do a lot this coming weekend. What about you?

I recently reviewed a few items that I wanted to share with ya’ll if you need a great gift idea for a busy mom or a discerning tween or teen!

GuruNanda 100% Essential Oils with Diffuser: I’m late to the aromatherapy and essential oils scene but I have been wanting a diffuser for quite some time. This gift set from GuruNanda comes with two different oils (calming lavender which we use in the evening and uplifting peppermint which is perfect for daytime) and an ultrasonic diffuser with a color-changing LED light. The lights have been a festive touch this holiday season. I really love this diffuser as it’s compact and easy to use. I can easily move it from our kitchen area to a bedroom as I enjoy diffusing the lavender essential oil at bedtime.)

This gift set is available at Walmart and would be a perfect office exchange gift on a budget as it’s price at a very reasonable $19.99. It would even make a great hostess or teacher gift! You could even add additional oils if you like, but it comes in a nice gift package. I’ve already purchased citrus and holiday blends to diffuse this winter.

Boodle Box – This is the cutest subscription box idea for tweens and teens. I even loved several of the items in the sample boxes we reviewed! Priced per month or per year (you’ll receive free shipping if you opt for the 12-month package), a Boodle Box is filled with items that tween and teen girls love, from fun accessories to makeup to candy. There are two gift choice options: ages 6 to 11 or ages 12 and up. My girls loved it and had fun discovering all the different items in their box. Some of their favorite items included a fun infinity scarf and a wishbone necklace (which by itself retailed for more than the price of the box set!)

Have you ever tried a subscription box service? This is the first one I have see specifically seen for tween and teen girls.
