12 Days of Christmas Advent for a Woman Amy Smith, December 1, 2023December 1, 2023 12 Days of Christmas Advent for a Woman Are you ready to make this Christmas season last longer than ever before for that special woman in your life? Maybe you aren’t that creative or much of a romantic man but that’s why I am here. I’m here to help you have your woman look at you in complete adoration! Imagine the joy on her face as she gets spoiled by unwrapping a gift every day for 12 days – but not just any gifts. Oh, and 13 days when you include Christmas Day! We’re talking about a curated selection of doTERRA essential oils, each carefully chosen to bring joy and wellness into the life of the woman you love. From clove to Douglas Fir, these essential oils are like little bottles of holiday cheer, ready to transform her home into a cozy haven of tranquility and delight. But wait, there’s more! On the grand finale of Christmas Day, she’ll receive a doTERRA Volo Marble Diffuser: a luxurious diffuser to elevate her essential oil experience to new heights. It’s not just an advent calendar; it’s a journey through scents and sensations that will make this Christmas one she won’t soon forget. So if you’re ready to give the gift of relaxation, rejuvenation, and aromatic bliss, join us as we embark on an olfactory odyssey unlike any other! Two ways to gift Imagine the anticipation building as your loved one eagerly awaits each day’s gift, excited to discover what luxurious essential oil they’ll receive next. With the 12-day advent calendar of essential oils, you have the opportunity to create a daily moment of joy that stretches out the holiday season in an innovative way. This option would begin by gifting one bottle of doTERRA’s essential oils a day on December 13th through Christmas Eve. Then on Christmas Day, you would have a beautiful doTERRA Volo Marble Diffuser sitting under the tree. You will definitely be getting some extra smooches even if there isn’t mistletoe around! Alternatively, you could opt for starting with the elegant doTERRA Volo Marble Diffuser on Christmas Day itself. This thoughtful choice allows for an extended celebration that continues past Christmas Day, creating a sense of sustained excitement and joy well into January (one oil a day from December 26th until January 6th). Each subsequent day becomes an opportunity for discovery and delight as she unwraps a new essential oil to pair with the stunning diffuser you gave her on Christmas Day. I mean, who really wants a partridge in a pear tree?! Whether you choose to begin on December 13th or Christmas Day, this inventive gifting approach is sure to bring prolonged happiness and festive cheer to your loved one! The appeal of a Christmas advent calendar Unwrapping the 12-day Christmas advent calendar with an essential oil theme is a sensory journey that any woman would absolutely love. Each day brings the anticipation of discovering a new aromatic treasure. It’s like receiving a daily dose of relaxation and rejuvenation in a beautifully packaged envelope – who wouldn’t want that? The appeal lies not only in the delightful scents but also in the curated selection of essential oils designed to cater to every mood and occasion. Whether it’s creating a serene atmosphere for meditation or infusing energy into a hectic day, these oils have got it covered. With each mini bottle representing endless wellness possibilities, this advent calendar offers more than just scents; it’s all about embracing self-care and mindfulness during the festive season. Plus, who doesn’t adore unwrapping surprises for 12 consecutive days – technically 13 days? The power of essential oils for women Essential oils are like little drops of magic that can transform any mundane moment into a spa-like experience. Imagine gifting her a bottle of lavender oil and watching her stress melt away as she takes in the calming aroma. Or perhaps, a citrus oil to uplift her spirits on those days when she needs an extra boost – kind of like giving her sunshine in a bottle for those dark drury winter mornings! Essential oils also provide an opportunity for self-care and empowerment. When you give the gift of essential oils, you’re not just handing over pretty bottles; you’re offering her the chance to connect with herself on a deeper level. Whether it’s through mindfulness, relaxation, or even DIY beauty treatments, these oils can be the key to unlocking inner strength and confidence. Building anticipation for 12 days Creating a 12-day advent calendar with doTERRA essential oils is not just about counting down to Christmas, it’s about adding a scent-sational twist to the holiday season. Start by selecting a variety of essential oils on doTERRA’s website. I have given some ideas of favorite oils for this time of year or you can go with some classics like lavender, peppermint, eucalyptus, and so on. Carefully tuck each oil into envelopes large enough to hold their aromatic potential. Add some crinkled paper or tissue paper for a touch of Christmas flair and to keep the oils snug. Seal the envelope and hole punch an area for a ribbon – be sure to burn the edge of the ribbon to keep the ends from fraying! Add some glittery number stickers because after all, this countdown is meant to shine bright like a Christmas tree. Lastly, hang them as ornaments or set one on her nightstand for twelve days of aromatic surprises that’ll have you feeling more festive than Santa himself! Here is a list of the oils pictured with a little description about them: Lemongrass Lemongrass, a towering perennial, brings a hint of citrus to the table and is a staple in Asian cooking, adding its zesty touch to soups, teas, curries, and various meats and seafood. Not just a flavor booster, Lemongrass essential oil aids digestion and gives the body’s systems a good kick when consumed orally. It’s also fantastic for the skin, purifying and toning when applied topically, making it a go-to in skincare products. Perfect for massages too! With its strong herbal scent, Lemongrass can awaken the senses and lift your spirits. Douglas Fir Douglas Fir, a conifer native to North America, is a tall evergreen tree commonly used in the Christmas tree industry. Its lemon-scented note is both sweet and refreshing. doTERRA Douglas Fir essential oil is sourced sustainably from young trees in New Zealand, where it poses a threat to the ecosystem as an invasive species. By harvesting these young trees for essential oil, doTERRA is helping to address the environmental impact of their overgrowth while providing a high-quality conifer essential oil. With its rich content of β-pinene, Douglas Fir has the ability to create an optimistic and stimulating atmosphere. It can also be used for skin cleasning and surface cleaning. Mixing Douglas Fir with citrus oils will uplift the environment and freshen the air. Cypress Hailing from the sunny lands of Southern Europe and Western Asia, Cypress essential oil comes from towering evergreen trees. Its invigorating and rejuvenating scent brings a breath of fresh air. It’s a favorite at spas and with massage therapists. Thanks to its monoterpenes, Cypress works wonders for oily skin, helping to keep those pesky blemishes at bay. A-pinene, one of its key monoterpenes, is a real pro at giving blemishes the boot.

Clove Clove essential oil is like a warm, spicy hug for your senses, whether you’re diffusing it or adding it to your cooking. It’s been a go-to flavor for dental products, candies, and gum for ages because of its mouth-cleansing properties.

Plus, it might even lend a hand in supporting healthy inflammatory and oxidative stress responses.
