This essential oil includes the following natural ingredients:
Cypress
Peppermint
Basil
Marjoram
Lavender
Grapefruit
AromaTouch® Oil comes in a 15ml bottle. Since DoTerra oils are all-natural and pure, add a couple of drops to a neutral scented carrier oil to avoid skin irritations and make the small bottle last a long time.
Every massage therapist needs a massage bottle holster so that dry skin never interrupts a great massage. A massage oil bottle holster is an excellent gift for students studying massage therapy because it is a gift they’ll use every day in their future careers.
The Earthlite massage bottle holster has two spaces for different lotions and oils and easily wraps around the hips so that it doesn’t interfere with the massage experience.

Every bottle of this sore muscle massage oil is cruelty-free and made in the USA.
Aromatherapy and massage therapy go hand-in-hand because few things help someone relax and enjoy the moment, like soothing scents.
An essential oil diffuser takes tiny drops of scented oils, mixes them with water, and turns them into sweet-smelling water vapors that permeate a room. Just a few drops go a long way to helping both the massage therapist and their client relax before, during, and after the session.
Massage therapists use the power of soothing music to enhance the massage experience during the session. However, there’s a huge difference between listening to music from a phone speaker and an actual speaker, so a waterproof Bluetooth speaker is an incredible gift for a massage therapist.
This Bluetooth speaker has a 100-foot range, 18 hours of battery power, and is waterproof. The compact and lightweight design makes this gift easy for massage therapists to keep in their kit.
You might not be able to reciprocate the soothing and relaxing effects of a massage. Still, you can show gratitude with some premium hot chocolate for your massage therapist to enjoy during their downtime.
This Ghirardelli mocha hot chocolate mix is a luxurious experience with velvety chocolate flavors. Your massage therapist can mix the powder into coffee or milk for the decadent experience they deserve.

This comfortable unisex graphic t-shirt is an excellent gift for massage therapists who are also big fans of the show. The gift receiver won’t need to fret if oils and lotions accidentally spill on the shirt because it’s machine washable in cold water.
Massage therapists know how ambiance can enhance a space, so enhance the workspace of your massage therapist with massage-themed wall art. Art is one of the best gifts for a massage therapist because it’s unique, thoughtful, and sends a positive reminder to the viewer every time they look at it.
This art print has an anatomical drawing of the muscles in the back with colorful flowers embellishing the image. The print is on top of typed text about back anatomy for a professional yet artistic rendition of massage-themed art.

Massage table linens are a thoughtful gift for a massage therapy student or graduate. Ask any massage therapist, and they’ll tell you that they could never have too many linens.

One of the best gifts for a massage therapist is a half-moon bolster pillow. This handy tool helps prop up the client’s legs, knees, or necks during sessions to alleviate muscle tension further.
A half-moon bolster pillow is also something your massage therapist can use in their yoga practice or help them to get a comfortable night’s sleep. The cover is machine washable, so they don’t need to worry if they get massage oil on it.
One of the perks of being a massage therapist is that they can do their job anywhere in the world. However, since massage therapists have a lot of props and tools they need to do their job, getting up and going is easier said than done.

The Sharper Image® neck and shoulder wrap helps relieve pain and tension in the neck and shoulders. While massage therapists spend most of their days helping other people’s back pain, they experience it themselves.

This white gold and cubic zirconia pendant necklace has an adjustable chain so the wearer can fit it perfectly to their body or outfit.
