Mother's Day Gift Guide - Anjou Aromatherapy Essential Oil Diffuser & Complete Essential Oils Gift Set - #Discount


I use essential oils for just about everything including homeopathic healing, beauty products, cleaning, so much more. It's like an all-natural cure all. I've used them myself for almost two decades, but since they've become more mainstream, I've also taken to giving them as gifts to help spread the good vibes.   When it comes to beautiful aromatherapy gifts for a great price,  Anjou Aromatherapy has you covered.  Their Essential Oils Gift set includes six of my favorite blends, all for one low price. It's the perfect choice for anyone new to oils or a great way for experienced uses to stock up.  Here's a little about each of the oils in the set:



Lavender : This has always been my favorite oil. It helps you get a good night's sleep, eases headaches, and just helps you to relax and unwind. I especially love adding a few drops to my bath.

Tea Tree-  This blend is wonderful for keeping insects away or stopping the itch if one of them gets you. It's also wonderful for making all sorts of beauty products like shampoos or even oral hygiene products.

Lemongrass - This oil can help increase your self-esteem and fights depression. It also helps reduce pain and inflammation. 




Sweet Orange - This one is excellent for removing unpleasant odors from your home. It's also great for cleaning, and I like to add a few drops to my lava stone bracelet because it helps with concentration. 

Eucalyptus - Anyone suffering from allergies will want this one close by. Add a few drops to a diffuser or humidifier and you'll be breathing easier in no time.

Peppermint - Peppermint oil can combat nausea, freshen breath, and works wonders alongside lavender in the tub or for headaches. Soaking some cotton-balls in peppermint is also an all-natural way to keep ants at bay. 

In addition to being a great deal, all of these oils are very high quality. They are not diluted at all and will fill your home with their sweet fragrance. Add them to your laundry, put a few drops on your toilet paper roll to freshen up the bathroom, or use a diffuser to spread their luscious scent all through your home. 



Speaking of diffuseres, in addition to their oils, Anjou Aromatherapy also offers an awesome diffuser. I’ve been wanting a diffuser for essential oils and this little thing is so cute! It’s small enough that you could put it just about anywhere so it’s hardly noticeable, unless you want to turn on the light and really set the mood. You can choose your light color from seven colors, have it cycle thru all the colors or pick one color to enjoy.  When cycling, each color shows for about 3 – 4 seconds before changing to the next color. You can also set your mist level. Choose from intermittent or continuous for your mist.  You have the option to turn off the mist and it will make a nice night light. This one little device fills my whole house with the all-natural fragrance of essential oils. I also really liked the wooden base of this design. It's a sleek and classy look that works with any decor. 



This unit is incredibly simple to use and it the perfect compliment to the high quality oils. Just remove the upper portion of the diffuser and water tank and fill it with water, drop in your essential oils, reassemble, plug in, and turn on. You really can’t get much easier than that! It starts misting almost immediately when turned on. This little unit is also very, very quiet! When the water tank is filled to the max line, you will get several hours of continuous use before it will automatically shuts off due to low or no water – use time will differ with different mist settings.  They do of course recommend cleaning the water tank often.  Overall, it's been a great experience with Anjou Aromatherapy all around, and I would definitely recommend their products to lovers of essential oils.

Shower your little one in serenity with this organic blend of essential oils and mild foam. This formula combines skin softening vitamin E with just a whisper of lavender and chamomile. Gentle enough for newborns.

  • No Synthetic Fragrances
  • Head-to-Toe
  • Ideal for Sensitive Skin

Our Thoughts

Lavender is one of my favorite scents, and knowing the health benefits and the sleeping benefits of it, I wanted to try this baby wash and lotion. Firstly, as soon as I opened each bottle, the scent was not mild, you can't mistake it for anything else. It was legitimately stronger than any scented "oil" product I've used before.

I tried the lotion on myself first because I have sensitive skin and it felt great and, again, smelt great too. It was very creamy and my skin soaked it up great, no greasy feeling leftover and the scent of lavender on my skin lasted for about an hour or so too.

When I tried the baby wash, I did this right before my son's bedtime and within minutes of him getting out of the bath he was ready for bed. It was normal bedtime anyway, but I honestly think the scent knocked him out! Some soaps are more slippery than others so I only used a pea-sized dollop on my finger to wash his hair and it was plenty. To be honest, I enjoyed the soap so much I use it for myself too!



They also have tangerine and unscented too for the super-sensitive skin types or those who do not like scented products!

100% Natural, Hypoallergenic, Eco-Friendly Laundry Detergent Infused with Aromatherapy





Introducing Safonique, a safe, all-natural, eco-friendly alternative to popular laundry detergents that rely on toxic ingredients and synthetic fragrances to make clothes cleaner, brighter, and fresher. Made from only 100% natural ingredients, Safonique still packs industrial-strength cleaning power to knock out the toughest stains, odors, and ground-in dirt.



Because it’s hypoallergenic, Safonique won’t cause allergic reactions or irritate sensitive skin like many popular brand name detergents often do. Mothers especially love Safonique because it demolishes tough stains and baby’s messes yet it’s safe and extra gentle for their little one’s delicate skin. 

My Thoughts

The Safonique detergent is one amazing product.  You only need one squirt per load so each container cleans 32 loads! Because it's made with  all natural, non-toxic ingredients, you might think it wouldn't be powerful enough to fight tough stains, but it works just as well as the all he big name brands. Finally, I have to say how much I love the fresh, clean lavender scent. I just washed my sheets with it yesterday, and having my bed smell like lavender was definitely a calming experience.  Drifting off to sleep was never easier. Even the container is a more earth friendly option because the pouches create less waste.  This is just an all around fabulous product.
