Give the scents of the season with a Mulling Spices Gift! Attach a reusable tea bag, print the tags and these easy, affordable gifts are ready for friends, neighbors, teachers, and coworkers!

You know I am a foodie, so I love to dream up food-focused gifts that use my favorite essentials oils. Remember these holiday room sprays from last year? They smell like gingerbread cookies, lemon pound cake and sweet mint … YUM!

This year, I mulled it over (see what I did there) and came up with this easy, affordable handmade holiday gift idea that is SO simple to assemble. Even with the jar and the bottle of orange essential oil, each gift comes in under $10!

Mulling Spices Gift + Printable Tags

I love how simple and festive these little jars of mulling spices are. I’ve made it even easier for gift giving by creating printable tags with several different sayings and instructions cards for your recipients.

Here are the supplies I used:

• 6 oz. glass jars – use hexagon jars, gold-lidded spice jars, square-ish jars or hit the Target dollar spot for the vintage-y ribbed jars that I used
• 1 lb. mulling spices (about 3/4 cup in each jar but you may use more or less depending on the size of your jar). I could fill 6 jars with this bag of mulling spices.
• Reusuable cotton tea bags
• 8 1/2 x 11 kraft cardstock or white cardstock (to print the tags on)
• Red jute twine
• Food grade Orange Essential Oil

Mulling spices are a combination of whole cloves, dried orange peel, all spice berries and cinnamon sticks. They are SO fragrant and smell absolutely divine!

What do you do with mulling spices?

• Steep in red wine
• Steep in apple cider
• Steep in maple syrup
• Simmer with water on the stove for natural home fragrance
• Fill a bowl for natural potpourri
• Fill a reusable tea bag for a natural car freshener

The spicy blend just smells like the holidays, so when paired with an orange essential oil, this is a wonderful hostess gift, coworker or Secret Santa gift, teacher gift or a little treat for a friend!

Speaking of essential oils, I used one of my absolutely FAVORITE oils for this gift … Orange!!

I love to add a drop or two of orange essential oil to tea, drop it to soda water, make a sweet glaze for cinnamon rolls, make orange vanilla sugar (another delicious handmade gift idea!), make homemade cinnamon orange air fresheners and more! Not only can your recipient make at least 6 batches of mulled wine or cider with the mulling spices gift, but they can continue to use the orange essential oil, too!

How to Make a Mulling Spices Gift:

1. Print the tags on card stock and trim to size – print both the cover gift tag and the instruction tag for each gift.  **Tags are linked below for printing.**
2. Punch a hole in one upper corner of each tag.
3. Fill each 6 oz. jar with about 3/4 cup mulling spices.
4. Tuck a Young Living orange essential oil in the reusable tea bag and cinch it closed.
5. Use a length of twine to attached the tea bag and tags around the neck of the jar.
6. Give this as a gift as is or give an Essential Oils Mulling Spices gift with a bottle of red wine or a gallon of apple cider!
