Few things can get you into the holiday spirit quicker than the smell of evergreen, cinnamon, or peppermint. There is just something about those smells that brings up memories of Christmas from years that have gone by. If you have been looking for the perfect way to add these scents to your home this holiday season, look no further than Bath and Body Works. They have a lot of sales going on right now!
In general, it is a good idea to be careful when giving scented items as gifts. Some people may feel that the reason you have given them scented candles, or fragrance diffusers, is because you think their home smells funny. It is also a good idea to keep in mind that there are many people who have environmental allergies. The same scented candle, soap, or lotion that makes you happy can make someone else sneeze, or even have difficulty breathing. There is no harm, however, in selecting some of these items to paper yourself with, or to give to a close friend or relative who finds scented items to be a pure delight!
