Are you a bit over gifting the same socks, boxers, chocolates or whiskey every year? Feel like trying something new? Whilst it's hard for so many to get out to the shops and browse for a great pressie, you might find you can make one yourself that's not only pretty cheap but also something you can fully customise to Dads' liking.

How? Our Bases take up to 10% in extra ingredients and are completely natural so creativity goes a long way here. We've put together a simple guide for you to follow but feel free to swap out the oils we've suggested (based on our own Dad's favourites) to ones you think might be more suitable.

The key here is 1% essential oils! 1% = 10ml in 1L (or 10 drops per 1mL). Even though the bases take up to 10% in extras you should keep essential oils low as they are coming into contact with skin and sensitivity ranges from person to person. If you feel like throwing in some nourishing carrier oils and vitamin boosting extracts - just mix them in in no particular order.
