How can you get anointing water?

In Catholicism at least, there is Holy Oil (or the Chrism) which is used in any kind of anointing. The special water is Holy Water, which can be used by laypeople, taken home, etc. I don't believe Chrism is available for anyone but the clergy and sacristans, but you can usually get holy water by the baptismal font in a church or from someone who works for the church. Sometimes if you're at a tourist or religious site, they may offer small bottles in the gift shop.
