1. Essential Oil diffuser and oils - This way is one of the best and it has many uses. You can buy all you need online or at your local holistic shop. Some great oils to diffuse are clove, vanilla, lavender, peppermint, pine, fir, and orange. Mix and match scents to create your own blends or buy blends from companies that make oils. I buy mine through Butterfly Express. They are locally owned in Idaho and I have had the chance to meet the owner, LaRee Westover in a oil class she teaches.
2. Essential Oils and a Tart warmer - If you don't have a diffuser or time to buy one you can run down to your local holistic store and buy your oils and place a few drops in the warmer with water. The oil scent diffuses faster but still works to scent your home.
3. Stove top potpourri - There are many recipes on the internet but I have found my favorite one on Spend with Pennies. Before finding this blog I used the a form of the Cranberry Bliss recipe every Thanksgiving and loved how my home smelled. Now I have many others to choose from and they don't take much to use.
- 1 orange
- 1/2 lemon
- 1 cup cranberries
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 1 tablespoon cloves
- 2-3 cups of water in a sauce pan or crock pot
Cook on low and don't let the water cook out.

4. Cook or Bake - This one is by far the easiest. Make cookies, applesauce, cake, or any other yummy food right before your guests arrive. Not only will your home smell good but your guests will get a treat straight from the heart.
