The colder it gets outside, the more I find myself baking and filling my house with wonderful holiday smells. The kids and I have started plotting holiday crafts and finally decided on a few DIY ideas for the holidays, but I think we’re going to do gingerbread cookies in a mason jar as gifts. We did chocolate chip coockies one year and everyone loved them, This year, it’s gingerbread man cookies in a jar.

Here are a few more great DIY ideas for the holidays, thanks to Febreze Home for the Holidays Collection:
What do you think about the awesome DIY almond topiaries? Pretty creative right, and it’s inspired by the wonderful Febreze-toasted almond Almond Scent!
I love buying the cocoa-covered almonds from the store, but never thought about making my own. Not only is it easy, it sure would be nice with some Toasted Almond scent from the Home for the Holidays Collection.
Now this is neat: the Apple Tabletop Tree inspired by the Apple Tart scent…
Another one inspired by Apple Tart scent, Check out how easy it is to make these Apple Tarts, and don’t they look so yummy? I’ll be making some of these when I put on my Apple Tart Febreze.
Home for the Holidays Collection
You might have read our post about the Febreze Fall Collection, which we loved! Well, the Home for the Holidays Collection is as good, maybe even a little sweeter; I’m not too sure… I know the Vanilla Late scent makes me want to make another coffee drink like I did with the fall cents, only adding a cinnamon stick for something a little more fun.
Check out all the Febreze Home for the Holidays Collection scents:
- Apple Tart: I love the smell of apples; it without a doubt makes me think of the holidays, and it’s one of my favorite holiday smells. Febreze Apple Tart is amazing, with a mouthwatering scent of succulent baked apples sprinkled with sugar and spice. If you like the smell of anything apple-baked during the holidays, then you’ll love Apple Tart by Febreze.
- Sugared Cranberry: Oh, yummy! I have never tried sugared cranberries, but I do love cranberries and the smell of Febreze Sugared Cranberry.
- Toasted Almond: One of my favorite things is almonds, and that’s any time of year. The toasted almond Febreze is amazing! Imagine the richness of buttery almonds with a touch of sweetness behind a warm fire.
- Frosted Pine: One thing I miss about living back home with my mom and dad is the pine scent first thing in the morning. The scent of being back home. This amazing earthy fragrance smells like a fresh-cut family pine tree.
- Vanilla Latte: I’m not sure what there is not to love about the sweet vanilla and spices in steamed milk to warm your spirits this holiday season.
Be sure to swing by Walmart.com and learn more about the Febreze Home for the Holidays Collection! Don’t ask me to choose a favorite; it’s too hard this time of year, lol. I am not even joking; I drive my husband crazy because this is the only time of year I put different scents in different rooms. I love it; his nose gets confused, and everything will go back to normal after the holidays!
