Customized spray bottles and natural spritzer
I went to Wal-Mart and found these cute little spray bottles for 50 cents a piece. Perfect for gifting home made air freshener/cleaners or perfume spray. I took some scrap paper and left over stickers and decorated each one, so when I fill it with whatever, all I need to do is print a label and viola! Done.

I found a couple more alternatives:
1 pint white vinegar
2 cups chopped natural petals or leaves (sage, yarrow, lemon balm etc.)
In a sauce pan, bring the vinegar to a boil and add the chopped petals or leaves. Remove from heat and transfer to a large covered container and let it steep 2 weeks. Strain through a coffee filter into bottle of choice.
Note: This goes back to the tea idea. I think they chose vinegar because it is shelf stable and you can keep it longer than if you just used tea and water. You can also boil the herbs and make a facial steam by draping a towel over your head and holding your face over the steam rising from the pot.
As for essential oils, I think as long as you actually have the food grade natural essential oil, it will be okay on your skin. Just make sure you DO NOT use fragrance oil. It's a completely different thing.
