Christmas is three days away and I’m still scrambling to get everything together and wrapped in time. Does it sound familiar? Are you still looking for a quick gift? Well, I’ve got the perfect one. Cinnamon-Swirl Coffee Scrub! Everyone loves homemade gifts and with the success of last year’s Candy Cane Sugar Scrub, I decided to gift another bath-time goody this Christmas. This scrub is wonderful for hostesses, secretaries, bosses, assistants at your doctor’s office, teachers, neighbors and shower favors. The recipe even doubles like a charm! Perfect, right?
Cinnamon-Swirl Coffee Scrub
2 c coffee grounds, unbrewed
1/2 c Turbinado sugar
6 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2-3 drops cinnamon fragrance oil
2 (0.5 ltr) glass containers with lid
In a large bowl, mix all ingredients together. Using a spatula, transfer mix into the container and secure lid. Tie a ribbon and a tag on to the jar with these instructions: “Scoop a teaspoon or two of the scrub on your hands and gently massage in circular motions onto your skin. Leave on for 3 to 4 minutes before thoroughly rinsing. The scrub will tighten a bit on your skin.”

This might sound really dumb but are the coffee grounds suppose to unbrewed? Thanks!
Not dumb at all! But, yes, the grounds should not be brewed.
What a great idea! Sounds like the perfect gift if I was on the receiving end
Great idea for gifts. Too late for me this year, but next year for sure.
