🎁 Why Shower Steamers Make a Great Gift

Shower steamers are like a mini spa experience right in your bathroom! They’re easy to make, smell heavenly, and are perfect for those chilly days when we all need a little extra pampering. Plus, with the right scents, they can help refresh the mind and body, making them a thoughtful addition to your holiday gift-giving.

🛁 The Essentials: What You’ll Need

• 1 cup baking soda: This forms the base of your steamers.
• 1/2 cup citric acid: For that fun fizz when they dissolve in steam.
• 1/2 cup essential oils: Choose seasonal favorites! Eucalyptus, peppermint, and warm vanilla are perfect for the holidays.
• Water (as needed): Just enough to help bind everything together.
• Silicone molds: Get creative with shapes—think snowflakes, Christmas trees, or candy canes! 🎄
