Mother’s Day is almost here (May 8, 2016). Have you found that perfect gift for that very special lady in your life? Flowers, jewelry, candy, dinner out… they are all wonderful ideas that any mom would love and appreciate. If you are looking for something more unique, I have a gift idea for you!
I am a HUGE fan of things that smell nice. My home is filled with essential oils, plugins, scented candles, wax melts and similar items. I use sprays but sparingly. We have a cat with severe asthma so I have to be very careful with the products I use in our home. That is why I tend to use natural essential oils. I use them to make my own cleaning products as well as to scent my home.
A brand name Anjou offers consumers essential oils and oil diffusers that would make a wonderful Mother’s Day gift (or year round gift). It’s something mom can enjoy every day.
Anjou sent me to review their diffuser and a package of essentials oils. Together they make a delightful gift.
The Anjou Aromatherapy Essential Oil Diffuser Portable Ultrasonic Aroma Humidifier not only makes a pretty decoration for your home or office, it also serves as a vessel to deliver essential oil aromas to your home, it also acts a a humidifier, adding moisture to the air.
The Anjou Aromatherapy Essential Oil Diffuser Portable Ultrasonic Aroma Humidifier features include:
- Huge capacity. The diffuser has a huge 300 ml capacity for up to eight hours of use.
- 100% safety. An auto shut-off when the water runs low, providing peace of mind.
- Small and portable. You can take the diffuser from room to room with you (you just need an electric outlet to plug it in).
- Forever décor. Seven color changing LED lights (each with a bright and dim mode) that can both blend into and accentuate your home, office, yoga studio, gym, or patio.
- Cleanse your life. Ultra-quiet ultrasonic humidifier keeps your living space clean and properly moisturized. Prevent dry air and flu/cold germs from infecting you and your loved ones.
Inside the diffuser – it holds a lot of water. You can see the oil spots from the essential oil I dropped into it (Peppermint)
Set up is easy.
- Remove the plug from inside the unit.
- Fill with water using the included measuring cup.
- Add a few drops (more or less, depending on your preference) of your favorite essential oil or oil blend.
- Plug in the unit.
- Set the time you want it to run for, as well as the strength (a light steam/mist or stronger one).
- Select the color you want for the diffuser or allow it to cycle through all the colors. You can even run it without a color (just white).
Here is a brief video I made of how it cycles through the colors. You CAN make it stay on one color (or just white). I also tried to get the steam in the video. I’m not sure how well it turned out.
Cleaning the device is easy too. Simply unplug it and using a damp paper towel just wipe down the inside where the water goes. Be sure to remove any excess water first.
I recommend that you clean it out after every use, otherwise the oils can build up and the scents will start to blend together and that might not smell so good.
I like that you can change the color of the diffuser. It’s a fun way to have it match your mood or to give a room ambiance. I tend to keep it on green because green is my favorite color.
I also like that the unit is small and you can easily tuck it inside a cabinet or the closet when not in use.
The works beautifully. Depending on how much essential oils I use I can smell it in the other rooms.
In addition to the lovely diffuser, Anjou sent me a set of their Anjou Essential Oils. I LOVE essential oils. I have a nice collection of them. One day I really need to go through them all and see what I have. I keep buying them. I probably have doubles of the more popular blends, which is fine for me because I use them daily.

I also enjoy how Anjou packaged their essential oils. The box is beautiful!
Both the diffuser and essential oils would make a fantastic gift for Mother’s Day. On their own they are wonderful but when combined they are awesome.
