Congrats to Jill, our winner for this giveaway!  

Here’s a little chance for you to do some shopping on your own!  For yourself or for a gift, The Giving Essence has more than just great natural home fragrances and lip balms.  We’ve also got dried herbs and essential oils too, so you can make your own stocking stuffers or use the items as gifts themselves!  If you’ve spent much time around herbs, or if you like to hang out here at dkMommy Spot, then you know the possibilities are endless when working with nature’s gifts.  Sweet Orange oil can be added to vinegar and water for your own home cleaner.  Lavender oil can be added to the wash for fresh-smelling laundry.  Eucalyptus oil can be diffused to help you breathe a little easier during the cold season.  And dried herbs?  The list is just as impressively versatile.  Chamomile for tea, licorice root for sore throats and homemade cough syrups, or lavender buds for a sleep pillow.

The Giving Essence is giving you a chance to choose one of each:  One essential oil and one 4-oz. bag of dried herbs.  If your name is randomly chosen, we’ll also throw in a beautiful little moss green organza bag with ribbon drawstrings so you can add your herbs for a sachet.  So let’s get shopping!  You’ve got some fragrant gifts to choose.
