So, if you are ready to make your home smell like the holidays, say no more! Whether you have family visiting or the neighbors dropping by a gift, your house is going to smell just like the Christmas (and will probably make everyone want to stay the night).

If you love the scent of fresh pine without all the mess of pine needles, these scenticles are genius! They smell amazing and can easily be hidden in your fake tree or around your home.
