Spa-licious Holiday Gifts As the shopping day ticker counts down, your stress levels may soar.

For him, give peppermint (revitalizes), rosemary (refreshes memory), and lavender (relaxes).
For her, offer bergamot (mood lifter), rose (insomnia), and clary sage (calming during PMS/menopause).
Or, make like the Wise Men and give oils of frankincense and myrrh. These soothe muscle pain when you add several drops of each to an ounce of any massage oil. Package them along with a bottle of massage oil and the recipe for relief.
