Pomander balls: Place whole cloves about half an inch apart in oranges, apples or limes - nestle fruit in holiday greenery or potpourri.

Scented candles: Cluster candles or varying heights and thickness and place among boughs of pine and cedar in the centre of a table, sideboard or mantelpiece.  Remember never to leave lit candles unattended.

Kitchen herbs: Tie bundles of fresh or dried basil, rosemary, sage or mint with red, green or gold ribbons.  Add a large matching bow and hang in the kitchen window.

Baskets: Line small wicker baskets with red and green tissue paper, then fill with potpourri or small pieces of pine and pine cones.  You can even add a few drops of evergreen scented oil.
