Get your rooms ready for Christmas by filling sachet bags with Christmas scented potpourri and place them throughout the house. Tuck one in a basket in the bathroom, tuck one in the livingroom among tree branches or in the drawers of the guest room. Everywhere your guests go they will experiences the scents of the season!
Find jars of various sizes and shapes (flea market or resale shops) and fill them with peppermints or other brightly colored Christmas candies. Create a display on a table or dresser by grouping several jars of different heights together....you can tie Christmas ribbon around the neck of each jar to add more color. You can also fill them with minature Christmas ball ornaments and tuck in a few gold stars if you prefer instead of candy!

Thanks Ginger! I love these ideas. The candy is cute and you could add a little scoop and some small bags nearby if you wanted to offer it for guests to take home. Ginger, your name has been added to my magic hat for the drawing at the end of the month. Good luck!
