I bought Vanilla Bath Soak during my last Dollar Tree haul and thought that if I scented it with essential oils, and put it in a Christmas ball ornament, that it would be another great inexpensive gift.

To make this I used:

A $1 ball ornament from Dollar Tree
Vanilla bath soak from Dollar Tree
vanilla and sweet orange essential oils (but you could just use the bath soak as is if you like the smell of it.
decorations for the ball  I bought green and red embellishments at the Dollar Tree and used a gold, red and green ribbon and made a wavy pattern on the ball.  
ribbon for the top of the ornament

I put mine in a basket with a frame I repurposed and a couple of pinecones and other small ornaments that I used vanilla and lavender essential oils to scent the bath soak.

I used a plastic container that I will not use for any other purpose other than mixing essential oils and put about 1/2 of the bottle of bath soak and about 20 drops of vanilla and 20 drops of sweet orange essential oils.  It made enough to fill the big ornament.  I would maybe consider using the smaller balls that are two for $1 at the Dollar Tree as the ball I bought as really heavy when I was finished.  Once I had my ingredients together, I stirred them with a plastic spoon and let them set until the oils had absorbed into the salts.    Maybe a half an hour.  Then I made a funnel out of paper and poured my mixture into the ball.  I sat the ball in the lid of the bath soak and it held the ball upright to fill and decorate it.
