Valentine's Day is just around the corner. If you're looking for a quick, easy and relatively inexpensive gift to give your favorite mother-to-be or gal pal, I would like you to consider making a sugar scrub with things that you have lying around your house. For the ones I made for my daughters I simply used granulated sugar, olive oil, and a few drops of an essential oil for scent. (You do not need the essential oils.) Here are some recipes, some with a bit more pizzazz than mine:

• Stretch Mark Bars Recipe
• How to Make Your Own Sugar Scrub
• Sugar and Salt Scrub Recipes
• Mocha Spice Sugar Scrub

Do you make your own beauty products? Has pregnancy changed your thoughts on the topic? I'd love to see some of your recipes, feel free to leave them in the comments.
